QUESTION:

J. Lo was going to a party. On the night of the party, as she was getting dressed for the event, she realized that she had forgotten to have someone to do her hair for her. She turned to her makeup artist, who had never touched her hair, and said, "When you're finished with the makeup, if you do the hair for the party in an elaborate hairdo that looks like the way the actress Grace Kelly wore hers, I will pay you $1,000."

After she finished the makeup, the makeup artist started on J. Lo's hair although she had not discussed her request to do the hair at all. While in the middle of putting her hair up in the elaborate hairdo, J. Lo decided she hated her makeup. She yelled at the makeup artist "I'm not letting you finish the hair because I hate the makeup!" The makeup artist was heard to say, "I didn't want to finish anyway!" as J. Lo stormed out.

J. Lo finally got to the party and when she walked in the door, was handed a piece of paper. The paper was actually a flyer that showed the sale price for the house she was standing in. She looked at it and realized she actually liked it, the first thing she'd liked all evening. The paper with the picture of the house said, "$5 million firm." J. Lo went to find the owner, Matt, and went to talk to them. She said to Matt, "I'm buying your house for $5 million! I'll be back to take care of it next week after I talk to my husband. " In response, Matt said: "I won't sell it to anyone but you for a week." She said "Great!" and asked him to write that out for her, and he wrote exactly what he said on a piece of paper and they both signed it.

The next day, after J. Lo had talked to her husband Ben, she called up Matt and told him she was ready to close the deal. He told hersorry, I sold it to Taylor Swift late last night.

J. Lo is really unhappy all around. Answer the following questions:

  1. Was there an enforceable contract between J. Lo and the makeup artist?
  2. Was there an enforceable contract between J. Lo and Matt?
