Karyn suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Oh! Hairstyle machine! I gotta see this!" and with that, she was up and out the door. Jon followed her.
Jon followed her down the hall, but he paused to look at the family portraits and pictures. There were a lot more than he remembered. He saw pictures of himself, his parents, and other family members. He saw strangers in some of the family pictures. "Do I have more relatives in this reality?" Jon could spot the family resemblence in many of the strangers' faces. The strangers appeared in some of the single portraits as well. Jon spotted Karyn in a few of the casual get-together shots. He found at least one picture that showed him visiting with Karyn's family. He found another one of Karyn with her family and some other people that did not have him in it. Odd, that last one.
He was starting to try to catalog what relationship these strangers might have to him when Karyn called to him from the bathroom. "Jon, the Replomat was only the beginning. Check this out!" He left the mystery of the pictures for later and joined her in the bathroom.
The bathroom itself was laid out and still decorated the same, but the only fixtures they recognized as unchanged were the mirror, cabinets, counter, towel racks, and sink. Everything else was different. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. There were unfamiliar gadgets sitting on the counter, and mounted to the walls in various places. The bathtub was huge, and instead of the shower curtain, the tub was now fully enclosed with a clear sliding glass door. There were fancy shower heads at all 4 corners of the tub-shower enclosure. There was a huge air vent directly over the tub. There was something that might be the toilet, but it was only recognizable because it had a place to sit with a hole at the appropriate spot.
"I think this is it." Karyn was fiddling with what had to be the hairstyle machine. Its label proclaimed it to be an Avon(TM) Hair Genie®. It looked something like a giant helmet-type hair dryer from a beauty salon. It was in a corner, suspended from the ceiling with cables and springs. Karyn found she could easily adjust its height just by nudging it up and down. "I wonder if this can give me my red wavy hair back?"
