In second episode of the series, lady of leisure Lisa Johnson goes to Louise Marriott’s ‘Posh’ Nail bar to get glammed up. She gets her eyebrows dyed by Louise and then has a spray tan that leaves her looking a darker shade of brown than she wanted.

“I look like I’ve been down the coal mine. Look, look at the face, it’s black!”, Lisa says.

Leaving Posh Nails the programme meets a fourth ‘belle’, Louise Truelove. Louise works at a local plastic surgery clinic, Mills & Mills, where she spends her days helping people improve their bodies more permanently. In Marbella, plastic is big business. Louise explains:

“Ten years ago people were getting their hair cut, now everyone’s getting their boobs done, facelifts and brow lifts and eyes because they want to feel confident.”

Back at ‘Posh’, Lisa and Louise are ordering a liquid lunch from fellow ex pat Barbs. Barbs owns café, Madhatters, across the road. The girls have a good gossip that culminates in Lisa getting Barbs to hold her cigarette as her nails are wet!

Freshly pampered, Lisa just has time to quickly interview a second Philippino maid with Louise’s assistance. Louise informs the maid she will be required to look after the baby 24 hours-a-day and not allow him to see Lisa in the morning. Lisa and Louise also inform the girl that Lisa has concerns for her dog.

“You eat dog in the Philippines?” Lisa asks “not you but they do don’t they? I’ve got a beautiful cream dog that goes with the house, and it’s the cream rug, the dog, all matching, I can’t have a dog in a pot.”

Louise wants her new beauty salon, ‘2 Posh’ to open in just three weeks, but she’s having problems with the staff whom she thinks aren’t pulling their weight. After reading them the riot act, Louise takes her staff to a nail training academy in Marbella. After the session Louise seems encouraged that the girls have changed but the girls’ faces tell a different story!

Also in programme two, Louise Truelove prepares for a night out in Puerto Banus with friends ‘Monners’ and Emma who’ve come over from England for the weekend. Louise talks to her friends about how she left England after her boyfriend left her for “a grandmother”.

“I would have done anything for him, so the shock was just devastating. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I didn’t eat for months, I lost three and a half, four stone – I was a size six and at six foot two, trust me that is not a good look! And I just didn’t know how to help myself. It was awful. I never want to be back there again, and I won’t be.”

After getting ready at Louise’s apartment, they hit the town. Louise is supposed to only be going out for a few drinks, but she is lured into Jimmy Choo and ends up buying a three hundred pound pair of sandals.

By the end of the evening Louise has to put an extremely drunk Emma into a cab however she remains to dance the night away with the rest of her friends.
