Gotham Fashion Week
Gotham wasn't quite New York or Paris, but its yearly high fashion show was one of the rising stars of the industry, recent and small enough that a lot of independent designers were there, big enough to start getting some of the names. Definitely big enough to draw Pippi's attention. She had her mom's handler arrange everything for her for all the events, her hotel, transport while there and so on, along with a chance to survey the town a little. She's heard all sorts of interesting things about the city - but mostly that no one there likes clowns. The circus even has to not use its clowns when they go through... she figures that's probably why everyone is so gloomy there.

	"One of the JLI, he's a really nice guy, even if he pretends not to be. He thinks smurfs are real, but otherwise, he's ok. He'll take good care of her." she responds, not mentioning the name - since she's still not entirely sure that this guy isn't a Republican. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He just looks amused at her withholding names now. She'd said Dinah before, which was enough of a risk, but if he was interpreting the blue smurfs right she was talking about a GL. No doubt the one that used to be on a team with Maria. But still, if he recalled correctly the guy was not from Earth and seemed unlikely to have a secret id. "I don't see your Green Lantern guy being a kitten person."

	"No, some people aren't cat people. Like Ri..." she pauses. Oh yeah, secret identities. "Someone else on my team, who would just be trying to go through cats til he found one he could put on those funny animal shows or something. But this other guy is definitely a cat person."

	He doesn't say anything about the near slip up but appreciates that she's making the effort in regards to secret IDs. "He shouldn't do that, owning a cat just so you can put on animal shows isn't the way to go about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. He's just that kind of person. Didn't want me to have my own show. I think he's still trying to get us marketing and action figures and things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Did he miss something here? A show? "...A show about what exactly? Like a reality show? And he's too preoccupied with marketing and action figures, you don't need that stuff. Priorities should be elsewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...I see. Well if you do go down that route I'd suggest you get a lawyer and a friend or some advisor to help you too. Makes sure they don't do anything you aren't comfortable with." She seemed nice enough, if not the sharpest tool in the shed, but that also meant someone could take advantage of that sort of personality for their own gain. He didn't want to see that happen.

	"Oh, its ok. My mom's handlers have contract lawyers on speed dial, and my mother's agents would be happy to help." She may not be the brightest bulb in the box - but her mother had taught her to have good people around before going into business. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Smart." Not a word that'd probably be associated with her often but she was prepared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know, Bugsy and Boo can do a lot of things. But it might need to wait til I'm out of school. Besides, while that would be fun, I really don't want to be in front of the camera like Mom, at least not much. I want to make the models and actresses prettier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seems like something more suited to you. Do you do that sort of thing for people often?" For some reason something told him that'd be useful one day, maybe to set her on someone. He could see how a lot of people would have a hard time dealing with this girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm going to beauty school, and am going to open my own shop someday, if I don't get a job with one of the big publishers. Some of the girls with the team let me help them. Especially when they get ready for big things. Some of them, though, I just need to get rid of their generic garbage and make sure they have all the tools to make healthy choices for their skin and hair."

	"Then you're certainly going to be fine for a career in it," he says, slightly envious she knew what she wanted to do while he felt kind of like he was floating aimlessly. "I imagine your friend Dinah appreciates your help," he smirks. He could only imagine the problems Dinah must have dealing with Pippi. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-10-26 12:27 am UTC (link)
	At that he has to bite his lip from full out laughing. "You dressed up as her for halloween?" Oh this he had to find pictures of. "I'm sure she was...flattered." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I mean, sure... it was really hard to find a sweatshirt that fit /that/ poorly, but some hair dye, some light makeup and coloration, and then just made myself a computer from some boxes, and wrote down a bunch of really smart things. The sweatshirt was the only hard part." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If Dinah had kept quiet about this then it meant he had to get his hands on pictures of this. Luckily he manages to contain the laughter and reduce himself to an amused look again. "You don't approve of her sweatshirts? And what kind of...smart things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-10-26 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"She's a lot cuter than she thinks she is, and those sweatshirts totally don't compliment her. For someone that smart, you'd think she'd know more about taking care of her hair and skin and things. Not to mention dressing to compliment her figure." She pauses. "I don't remember any of the smart things. I have a list though. I wrote them down, just in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-10-26 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"I hope you've told her that. Seems like she could use your help." For some reason he really does want to see what counts as 'smart things' according to her. "Do you have the list with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-10-26 04:30 am UTC (link)
	"I keep telling her that. She let me dress her up, do her hair, everything for prom. I don't have the list with me, but I do have it back at our base." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
