Speechless
“Once I’m into it, I can neither expand my lungs fully, nor bend in the usual places. In fact, I have to throw myself sideways into a cab en route to the Minister’s party. It’s worth the pain, however, because the cabbie’s sidelong glances confirm I look surprisingly fetching. At any rate, my hair looks better than it could have in the seventies, thanks to the excellent products of the new millennium. Günter introduced a perfect Farrah flip to it and blasted it into a helmet. Then he dusted my f...ace with so much glitter that it’s tough to see the wrinkles.
When I walk through the door of the Minister’s Forest Hill home, my ratings soar.
“Lily,” the Minister squeals, “you look fantastic!”
She’s so thrilled she actually embraces me, which is how I discover her turquoise wrap dress is silk; it was designed to look vintage. My stretch polyester jumpsuit, on the other hand, is thirty years old and could go up in flames at any moment.
Richard lounges across the room in a perfectly tailored white three-piece suit and platform shoes that take him up to about six-nine.MoreLess
