Room 311 [evening]

Apr 19, 2009 20:28

Sometimes, it occurred to Kaylee that she was no good at most girlie-type things.

Which was why Sunday evening found her not with a wrench in her hand, but a makeup brush. She had a copy of Seventeen before her, and a few small pots -- blush, eyeshadow, shiny lip stuff!! -- before, and she was painstakingly rubbing the makeup onto her face ( Read more... )

"Supposedly, there's an art to putting it on," Agnes told her with a shrug, from the doorway.

What are you doing butting in like that? You barely even know her!

She flushed a little pink. "Um. So I hear, anyway."

"I keep thinkin' that," Kaylee admitted, smiling over at her. "But it looks so easy!"

"All I know is, it cakes, it runs, it makes you break out in spots all over, and comes right off if you even think about sweating." Agnes frowned. "Some people can pull it off. They like to mock the rest of us behind our backs." No, this wasn't just idle speculation.

Kaylee frowned a little. "Yeah, I never really wear it much. I got some lipstuff for prom! An' that looked okay. An' Claudia did it all pretty for me once. But I was tryin' t'see if I could put it on all by m'self for once. It ain't workin', I think."

"...Well, lipstick is another matter," Agnes allowed. Which was entirely because that was what she honestly thought, and not at ALL because she liked the way she looked in dark purple lipstick. Really.

"But all this stuff... I'm honestly not sure what half of it is. And I think some of it is actually poisonous."

She shrugged unhelpfully. "I'm not really much of a makeup person, myself. Sorry."

"Me neither," Kaylee admitted. "I'm bad at girl stuff, mostly. I just like how glamorful it all looks."

Agnes grimaced. "Envying that sort of glamor leads to all kinds of bad things," she told Kaylee. "You're much better off just being yourself."

Even if you don't like yourself much.

"But it's all so sparkly an' shiny," Kaylee breathed with a soft sigh.

"But it could lead to being attacked by evil beings from another dimension," Agnes replied.

"...Um. Theoretically."

Kaylee's eyes were huge. "You think that could happen?"

"Um. Not the makeup. Um. But, the wanting desperately to be cool. If you've sort of... picked the wrong person to follow. Um. Theoretically."
