Drabble Saga 5: An Expensive One

Printer-friendly version

Beth quickly styled Davey's long straight hair into soft curls using only water and a curling iron.

Finished, she went back to working on Davey's face, the foundation now dry enough to cover imperfections, including evidence of a beard. Next she went in with eyeliner, lipliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lip color and gloss.

Davey watched as Beth transformed him from mostly harmless college nerdboy to devastatingly beautiful blonde. The makeup went just a bit over the top.

After glancing at Packy (busy with an issue of Vogue, his lips moving), Davey whispered, "I look like a cheap hooker."

"No," said Beth.

Cheap Trick

100 words forces creativity. And creative editing, this was originally over 200 words as written.
