How to Keep Your Neck in Modeling: A Mercenary's Guide to Fashion - Fifth Period - 07/21

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Despite the piracy abounds, Deadpool simply refused to allow that into his class. It was a serious topic, filled with very important things that could change lives and--

"Eyeliner!"

--Eyeliner, sure.

"And lipstick and that odd little tube with skin colored paste that looks kinda off under certain lights..." Deadpool just grinned at the class. "Today you all learn about the proper application of make up and try to help each other get the perfect nighttime look."

Or put on make up for his amusement.

One of those two.

"Now get into teams of two and start applying!"

"It's ... red?" Warren shrugged his shoulders and set the lipstick back down. "I don't think it's my color. I don't think any of these colors are my color."

Oh no, nothing fits Warren, better avoid the makeup altogether!

"People where I'm from aren't... necessarily sane," Warren clarified. Which was close enough to a 'yes' for him, anyhow.

"You could try to match the streaks in your hair," Romeo suggested, clearly not having much of an idea how this was done.

Warren's second statement drew a hint of a smile. "I grew up with people who dyed their hair pink and wore Hawaiian shirts in winter," he said. "I suppose Deadpool is not so strange, if I keep that in perspective."

Warren considered for a moment, then he shrugged his shoulders and started rifling through the lipstick again, pulling out a tube that was almost an identical match to the red streaks in his hair.

"That's a better idea than anything I could come up," he decided. "I still haven't seen much of Deadpool's strange side. Except for his fondness for making us learn how to cross-dress."

"Learning to cross-dress is strange enough for me," said Romeo. Granted, Mercutio would have given him lessons with little enough encouragement, but that wasn't in a classroom.

He selected a navy eyeliner, no sparkles this time, and held it up. "I'll put this on. I hope you won't mind if I would rather apply it myself." Not that he had anything against Warren -- he barely knew him -- but sharp things near his eyes were bad enough when he was the one wielding them.

"Knock yourself out," Warren agreed, and then he started looking for some sort of eyeliner to match his lipstick. Because if he was going to go for bright red, he was going to at least be constant about it. "Same here."

Romeo applying the eyeliner as slowly as he could manage, using a light hand and reflecting this was much less frightening when he was drunk. He'd worry about a lipstick later, if at all.

"I'm not sure why I took the class," he mused. "And I'm Romeo, since I didn't introduce myself earlier."

Re: Get into Groups

[peace_n_war]

"Warren," Warren replied, nodding faintly as he stared at the eyeliner that he'd picked out. Bright red, like his lipstick and his streaks, and eventually, he might even get around to taking the cap off and putting it somewhere near his eye.

"I still can't believe he's making us put on makeup."

Well. Actually, he could.

"Do male models even wear makeup?" Romeo asked. He'd finished his right eye and was smudging the line with a thumb before working on the courage to move on to his left. "Or does he just want to see us flail?"

Re: Get into Groups

[peace_n_war]

"He is a teacher," Warren pointed out. Pointedly. "My best guess is that he signed up to teach this class because there was so much potential to make his students... flail."

It had been a good word for it. Sure, Warren would use it, too.

Re: Get into Groups

"So you think he's a sadist," Romeo mused. "He'd hardly be the first teacher like that, or the last. At least this will wash off."

Re: Get into Groups

[peace_n_war]

"I'm... pretty sure." Warren glanced at Romeo, then shook his head a little. "At least it will wash off," he agreed.

And then, after a moment of hesitation, he attempted to do his own eyeliner. An assignment was an assignment, after all.

[Romeo's icon there is killing me with lipstick. <3]

If Warren was putting on eyeliner, the least Romeo could do was quit fidgeting over his left eye and select some for himself. He chose the sheerest pink he could find -- albeit one enriched with sparkles -- reasoning it wouldn't show much and the sparkles were pretty if it did.

"You don't look bad," he told Warren.

Re: Get into Groups

[peace_n_war]

"What, you think this is my color?" Warren eyed Romeo skeptically for a moment, then grunted and shook his head. "The sparkles are a... nice touch."

Sheer. Really, Warren should have thought of sheer, before he started putting on freakishly red makeup.

"I think you're very coordinated," Romeo said diplomatically. And, really, Warren didn't look any worse than he probably did.
