Day 18 - Friday
“Alright I set the camera up with a 10 second timer, so get into position.” Said Maya as she rushed over to the conference room’s desk and struck a sultry pose.
“U-uhhhh, ok, how about this, like I’m curtsying? No, that’s not punk rock. Ummm, ooh maybe I play an air guitar? No that’s just silly.” Said an anxious Amira.
“Try leaning against the desk and just giving your sexiest most rebellious look possible-Yes, perfect, just like that.”
Snap!
“Perfect! Let’s see how they turned out.” Maya said as both girls go over and take a look at Amira’s phone on a tripod. “Damn Amira, you are looking good in these pictures!”
Maya’s flattery instantly made Amira blush. “Stop it, you’re the one that told me how to pose. I was fumbling around the looking like an idiot beforehand. But I do admit, I do look hot. Hehe. But if I’m being honest, I can’t get over how incredible you look as this alien princess you’re dressed up as. Your beauty is so otherworldly right now that words escape me.”
Now it was Maya’s turn to blush a bit. “That’s a wonderful compliment, so thank you. I really wanted to end Halloween week on a high note, and I realized I hadn’t done anything alien yet so why not do an ethereal alien queen. Of course the real star of this costume as always is Amy. I couldn’t have pulled this look off without her.”
“Oh that’s right, I totally forgot you were using her as part of your costumes. What is she on this one?” Amira sled as she scanned Maya looking for clues.
Maya put a hand up to the scaly blue choker around her long thin neck, “Well first off I used part of her as my scaly choker here. Then, I modified some of her body to be my abstract fanned out head prosthetic. And lastly, I used the rest of her to make my gorgeous turquoise top and skirt. But enough about me and Amy, let’s talk about your costume, because damn, you look sick as hell!”
“And that’s just the reaction I was going for. Since this week has been sort of a coming out party for me in regard to embracing my beauty, I decided to go against the grain again and mix punk rock with ballet. So I’m officially a Punk Rock Ballet dancer complete with the spiky mohawk and a jet black ballet skirt, all made by yours truly.” Amira said as she stuck her tongue out and threw up her hands in devil horn gestures.
“Wow, you made this entire outfit yourself? That’s impressive! Honestly, the punk rock look suits you. I think if you weren’t so bubbly and sweet at your core, you could definitely pass as a punk rocker. So is this the outfit you’re going to wear to the UNICA Halloween party later tonight?”
“Well actually, I have another costume in mind for that event, but I didn’t want to wear it to work today because I wanted it to be a surprise for you later when I’m over at your place pregaming for the party.”
“Ooh, a private viewing of your costume? That’s sounds sexy. I can’t wait.” Maya said teasingly.
“Uuuhhh, yeah I can’t wait to show you either. But are you sure you can’t come to the party with me? I’d be less nervous about going if you were with me.”
“Like I said yesterday, I have been neglecting my girls Lipzy and Bubbles for a whole week and want to spend the evening playing with them instead of ignoring them. And Lipzy’s time as a slug girl is almost up so I need to cherish what little time I have with her left before she becomes human Angela again. But that’s why you get to go in the first place. You’re taking my invite. So don’t be nervous about it. Just go there and party your butt off for me, okay?”
Amira nodded confidently, “You got it! Now if you don’t mind, I need to go out to the main area of the store and flaunt my punk rock look in front of the other employees. See you out there in a bit.” She curtsied again before sashaying out of the conference room.
Maya watched her friend and assistant manager leave the room and couldn’t help but laugh. “Man, how can she be so hot and so dorky all at the same time? Heh, she is gonna have so much fun at that party.”
