Rachel is graduating from an intense one year nursing program at the University of Pennsylvania. Without her mother, Liz, Rachel admits she would not have come this far.

"My mom is my strength and inspiration." As Rachel transitions into the professional world she wants to look older, not like a "hippy" (as her mom refers to her). In contrast, Rachel's mother, Liz, a medical secretary, would like to look younger and show off her new, 30-lb. lighter figure. Maybe they could just trade closets? Unfortunately mom's (Liz's) cable knit sweaters and pleated "trousers" won't cut it in the twenty-first century and daughter Rachel's hippy skirts and flip-flops are just too young.

At Rachel's graduation party they want to be rendered unrecognizable to family and friends with an older look for Rachel and a younger look for her mother, Liz.
