Skin Treatment.
With a big gala for MSF coming up, Barbie was looking in the mirror a little more lately. And considering... Well, what harm? Barbie knocked on Pippi's door.

	Pippi peeks out, then opens the door wider, giving Barbie a big smile. "Hi!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-18 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Hi. So, Pippi, you're studying all kinds of ... complexion-related stuff, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-18 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, yes. So, did you want something to help bring up a little more color, or did you want to really emphasize the whole pale-goth-is-in look?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-18 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"...Well, I was just going to say I don't think my skin's reacting that well to the weather lately, but what looks better with midnight blue? That's what color my dress for the next big thing is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can give you a treatment to help with the weather, no problem. And I can definitely do some work for the big thing with you. If we stick with the pale... but, you know, healthier pale, we can really make your eyes pop, between the skin, the hair and the dress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good," Barbie said. "Healthier is good. I don't like to advertise as sick, previous accuracy notwithstanding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"Hmmm, alright. This will be a pretty big job, but we'll get your pores opened up, help revitalize your skin, definitely some body treatment for your hair. And then natural product make ups once we match some eyeliner to complement the dress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"Matching eyeliner? It might just be family prejudice -- it probably is, in fact -- but I thought black went with everything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Well yes, but what /kind/ of black? I mean, do you want extra sheen, do you want just a hint of glitter, do you want something more flat? Its the little details that make the black." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, okay. Makes sense. So what do we start with, the pores thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, we're going to give you the full spa treatment. Bath with the proper bath oils, mud mask and cucumber treatment, then a shampoo and conditioning before styling and makeup. We should do your nails too, just for fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Barbie smiles. "Sounds good. Thanks so much. Really handy having a professional around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I'm happy to. But I'm not a professional yet. Still in beauty school. And that has school in its name, so it probably gets really hard eventually, so I don't know if I'll graduate. But I'm putting a down payment down on a shop anyway, just in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 01:54 am UTC (link)
	"Well, it's obviously a vocation, at least. Going to be a profession." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"It is a profession, I'm just not part of it yet. And who is going on vacation again? You? Where are you going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Barbie blinked. "I'm not going on vacation; I'm going to an MSF gala." A pause. "Oh. Vocation. Beauty schools are sometimes listed among vocational schools; at least I think so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"Ooohhh, ok! Yeah, there's lots of places for vacations with their own stylists and stuff. So it would make sense for some of the schools to specialize I guess. So when is the gala? I should know how long I have to work with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 02:20 am UTC (link)
	...Barbie's going to call that close enough. Not because it's remotely close, but for her own safety's sake. "Three days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Three days... and you already have the dress picked out? Do you have shoes to go with it? And accentuating jewelry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-19 02:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. The midnight blue one. Kind of sparkly. With a sash that can incorporate my slingshot. I hadn't really decided about shoes yet. I was thinking maybe silver?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-19 02:30 am UTC (link)
	"With your complexion, silver would look wonderful. If you're using silver shoes, we'll need to add a couple silver touches too. Maybe light jewelry and a touch of light glitter to the eyeliner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-20 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a pretty good plan." And it did. It was interesting how competent Pippi could sound if you kept the discussion enough within her metier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-20 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Just don't bring up the word metier. "Ok, three days. I'll see what I can find for you. I'll need to see the dress, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-20 05:45 am UTC (link)
	"Of course. Want to just come to my room now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-20 06:01 am UTC (link)
	"Oh... yeah. That's a good idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	barbiebird 2013-04-20 06:24 am UTC (link)
	To Barbie's room they go. The dress is already there, with it's matching sash draped over the bedpost. "As advertised. So... cucumbers, huh? Old-school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-04-20 06:39 am UTC (link)
	"I love it. Yes, we can definitely work with that. Blue and silver, some jewelry, pale complexion, light glitter make up..." she starts envisioning it in her head, putting the pieces together. "Oh, yes. I like natural products. They're better for your skin and hair long term, and when something works... well, it keeps working." (Reply to this)(Parent)
