When Joanne and Susan met at a martial arts class six years ago there was an instant connection. Since then they have become black belts in karate and best friends. They are attending the annual party at their martial arts school, and these two karate kids don't have a thing to wear. They want to trade in their "gi" (karate uniform) and black belt for a hot new look that will make the others sweat.
