Pre-homecoming prep...

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

[ooc: A couple of people were asking if Shane was going to do hair today and so since it seemed like there might be a need, she's opening the door at her place in Amber House and keeping it open all day - so - if you need an updo, or an undo or a redo, just stop by and she'll do her best...]


Curled up on the loveseat, Shane was flipping through an issue of Hollywood Life that had arrived the day before. She still had quite a bit of time until she had to head over to Deb's to help out with the pre-Homecoming rush dinners. For the most part, in town, everything was quiet or just barely humming - either closing down or making preparations for the evening.

As for herself, she wouldn't be going to homecoming... instead, she'd be going to the movies with Kate. On her way out to get her morning double-shot, she'd checked out the marquee and winced. Still, she called Kate and left her a message to let her know what was playing.

Paige come in carrying a bag containing 2 cans of ultra hold hairspray, a set of curling tongs and a hair magazine. "I need help,@ she says, looking slightly pathetic

Looking up from her magazine, Shane fights a chuckle and smiles, instead. She puts her magazine down on the loveseat and intercepts Paige, padding on bare feet. "All right," she says calmly, already working on the damage control. "Do you have your dress?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"No sorry, but I have a picture (http://www.thedarkangel.co.uk/catalogue2.php?p=52), I'm wanting something up, but with like curly bit hanging down."

Shane studies the picture for a few moments. "Okay... well, you'll need to have Geoff help you with your dress, otherwise it'll totally fuck up your hair," she murmurs, mostly to herself, already going into stylist mode. She looks back up at Paige and smiles. "Yeah, I can do something."

She heads over to the dining area and drags one of the tables away from the table and into the kitchen. "Okay, have a seat," she says, arranging the chair in the middle of the kitchen floor and tapping the back of it. "I need to go get my pins and stuff. Be right back."

Paige smiles, "thanks Shane and yeah I'm sure Geoff'll help me with the dress."

"It's not like you're getting married or anything," Shane says with a grin. "It's okay if he sees you beforehand." She gives Paige's shoulder a squeeze before she heads off into her bedroom to search for her tools.

Paige laughs and calls to Shane, "he's seen the picture already so yeah I'm it'll be fine, assuming he makes it!"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"He'll make it!" Shane's voice calls back with certainty, amidst sounds of things being shifted and drawers being searched through. A few moments later, she comes back out, shutting the door behind her. "All right, have a seat," she says, grinning.

Under her arm, she carries a folded leather bundle, her stylist kit. She comes back into the kitchen and opens the kit up, just in case, and reaches for a large plastic jar of bobby pins, setting them up on the counter. While she's at it, she plugs the curling iron in and sets it for low.

"Are we gonna have to backcomb? Cos that really hurts right?"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely not," Shane says as she sets a paddle brush out on the counter as well as a few extra combs. "Not only does it hurt, but it fucks up your hair. That's how you get split ends. Bad. So... no." She chuckles as she leans over to check and see how the iron is coming along with getting heated.

Paige sounds confused, "Oh right, I just thought you had to backcomb to get height, but obviously I trust you to do whatever you want."

Kate has a day off work. Once, this would have irritated her, and she would have spent the day doing some anyway. Now, however, she has someone to enjoy spending the day with. She makes her way to Amber House in high spirits.

She's surprised to see Shane's door slightly open, and when she pushes it far enough to slip inside, her eyes widen at the sight of Shane preparing to style--Paige? Yes, Paige--'s hair.

Paige smiles and raises a hand, "hey Kate, homecoming." Paige hopes that will explain everything

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Paige," Kate replies, smiling. She glances at Shane, raising an eyebrow.

"You never told me you were a hair-dresser." Her voice is chiding, but warm.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Looking up from her work, Shane's smile is a bit sheepish. "Well, I'm not," she murmurs, "not really. I... I never went to school, but I paid attention." She lifts her shoulder in a half-shrug.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Hearing the door creak just slightly, Shane looks up from what she's doing. Thanks to the layout of the suite, she can't even see the front door, but she knows that someone's come in. "Hey, who's that? Come in," she greets cheerfully. As she sees Kate, her smile widens considerably. "Hey, baby. What are you doing here so early?"

Kate smiles back, walking further into the room.

"The precinct gave us a day off."
