In which Maggie is excited about being in a commercial
Remember that bit where I said that I was done for the day? It was a lie, because something silly and wonderful has happened. I went to a new store in Beloit, called Clean Cut Clothing (and tattoo)* to buy more hair dye**, with Daniel and Tanya. I've been there several times before, and the girl working the counter now knows my face and general buying wants (hair dye!). They were shooting a commercial for the store at the time, and said we could shop anyway, away from the cameras and hot, expensive lights. We did so for a while until counter-girl (I need to know her name, though I like the double meaning of counter-girl) came up and asked if, because I had bought hair dye from them and had it on my head at that moment, if I wanted to be in the commercial, faking a transaction. So I was! There were bright lights and everything, only sound wasn't being recorded, so the conversation over the counter went like this:
me: Hello, I'd like to purchase these items from your lovely establishment!
Her: Pleased to help you!
*cash register being opened*
Her: Here is ten dollars of my money, and a blank receipt!
Me: Thank you for your money, I will run off with it now.
Only I didn't, because I want to keep coming back to this store. I wound up buying the hair dye, an owl cuff, and a white-with-black-polka-dots top that I think is quite flattering. It, too, will glow under black light (I hope).
< pimp> Go to Clean Cut, because it's a pretty sweet place. Look at their commercials (which I'm picturing being about as classy as the shockwave video commercials), and exclaim loudly "I know that girl!" Buy their products. Keep the store alive.
*Clean Cut Clothing and Tattoo: offering Art, Music, and Tattoo inspired clothes and accessories. I think that's what their business card says anyway.
**I'm currently "blood red", which is lovely but too pink. I'm buying "Nuclear red" which is much lighter and more orange, which I usually wouldn't go for, but it glows under black light, and there're going to be black lights tomorrow night. My head is going to be on radioactive fire.
