Art of Seduction [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

Today's class was being held in the Dangershop, which was set up to look like a combination upscale boutique/dressing room.

"I'm assuming that your successful flirting has secured you a date," Bond began. "Which brings us to the next important step, which is getting ready for your date. So today you'll all be getting a makeover." Just as Bond said the word 'makeover' music started playing, the only sign that he hadn't actually programmed it to was a slight frown.

"There are two things to remember when you're selecting an outfit for a date, or any other occasion for that matter, one is to choose an appropriate outfit for what you're doing. You'll look as ridiculous wearing a dinner suit bowling as you would wearing jeans to the opera, and in any case, trousers are your friend. I've included some examples of bad outfit choices in your handouts today.

"The second things is that once you've chosen your outfit. Wear it. Wear the hell out of it. Because confidence shows, and even if you have been struck by a tragic case of fashion blindness, if you have the right attitude, you'll still look great."

"Now, I want you to spilt up into pairs and help each other with your makeovers." The music started playing again, but Bond continued undeterred "I'd like you to try to come up with at least one formal and one casual outfit, and those of you who feel up to it can model their outfits for the rest of the class at the end."

Jenny would suggest a tan, but Jenny was possessed of the sort of complexion one could expect of an upper-crust Brit-slash-natural blonde, and therefore really could not throw stones in that regard. "Well, if black is all right, how about something in the dark or jewel family? Is purple still in? I lose track of these things."

"I think purple is in," she said, holding up a dress. "Is this purple or burgundy? Or some mutant child of the two?"

"I think it's burgundy," Jenny said. "I have a dress a bit like that. More on the scarlet side. The darker color will set off your fairness more." Or something like that. "It's dramatic, see."

"So great minds think alike?" Emma joked. "I'm going to need to start reading fashion magazines to keep up with the trends; I never thought I'd miss New York."

"Stunning blondes must stick together," Jenny said. "Or catfight, but I think that would amuse the boys too much. If half the things we get into the shop are any indication, the trend is 'things that look stupid.'"

"If it's a catfight, I demand a mud pit," Emma replied. "Simply so we can shove everyone else in."

"And if the trend is 'looking stupid,' then I think we have an obligation as attractive people to change it." She continued flicking through the items on the rack, making a face. "Do you give the tacky things in your store to the homeless to make it Go Away, or do people actually buy it?"

"We burn them, actually," Jenny said as she looked at and dismissed a black dress as unworthy.
