Pixie Dust, Wednesday

Well, now. This wasn't her usual day, but she was down two employees and a roommate, so she could come in whenever she felt like it. It was, after all, her store.

At least the roommate had left her the house. Well. Perhaps not intentionally, but it was hers now, so there.

She sighed as she posted the sign on the door once more:

ASSISTANCE WANTED
Employees Receive Employee Discount

Luckily she still had plenty of absinthe behind the counter.




Pixie Dust was open.

Mary stopped in to see if there was anything new and fabulous that she needed to have.

Well, then! Hello and welcome to Tink's Emporium of Utter Divariffic Fabulousness. Wasn't that a simply incredible name? She should have called it that, but Pixie Dust really seemed snappier. Maybe she'd start changing the name on a weekly basis. Zap! New sign! New name! It wasn't like she didn't have the money. And everything here was fabulous, and most of it was new. Such a shame more of it wasn't in her size, really. Only so far you could shrink things before they got weird.

Mary, who was used to having things altered, was in agreement. Except instead of shrinking, she often needed more space to accommodate her fabulous figure.

"A good friend of mine just survived his first day of teaching at the school and we're going out to celebrate. Do you have any suggestions?" asked Mary.

Re: Shop With Tink

[identity profile] tinkerbitch.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Tink always had suggestions. But really, she needed some information first. Out to celebrate somewhere fancy? Somewhere trendy? Somewhere casual? And was this a friend, or a 'friend'? Because the latter really required something tremendously low-cut so he could get an eyeful of those assets. Boys were stupid and needed reminders like that.

"We'll probably just hit Caritas. I want to see the look on his face when he sees the zombie band," said Mary with a smirk. "And Mike is just a friend who happens to be best friends with my ex-fiance, so I don't need to wearing anything low-cut unless my boyfriend comes along too."

Ah. Shame, that. If you've got it, flaunt it, and all that. Tink wasn't big on subtle.

Did she own a little (http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2072648415&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2073280559&N=2073280557&Ns=Popularity%7c0%7c%7cProduct%2bCode%7c1&Nu=Product+ID) black (http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2066514757&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2073280559&N=2073280557&Ns=Popularity%7c0%7c%7cProduct%2bCode%7c1&Nu=Product+ID) dress (http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2072647999&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2073280561&N=2073280557&Ns=Popularity%7c0%7c%7cProduct%2bCode%7c1&Nu=Product+ID) yet?

He walked into the shop, a little bewildered at... well, all the choices. He just needed something for his class at the moment, but he didn't know if he'd be able to find it in all this

Choice!

Hello there! Welcome to Tink's House of Style. That was almost definitely the name she should have gone with, not that Emporium one. Maybe she'd just change the name on alternate weekdays? And ... these were clothes. Clothes, yes? Like the ones he was wearing? Had he really never seen clothes in a shop before?

If he was going to be another one of those customers that suddenly pulled that "I don't know what 'money' is" crap, she was going to be a very irate pixie, he should know.

"Would you have anything that would work as a uniform for a cooking class?" he asked.

No, he had money. Lulu had given it to him.

Re: Shop With Tink

[identity profile] tinkerbitch.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
A uniform? Uniforms were so ... Tink shuddered. Uniforms could be chic, but they had to work harder at it, and she was not going to let him leave here looking like some boring chef. Chefs wore so much white. Don't get her wrong, he could get away with white, but who would want to?


(OOC: it would've been okay if he didn't, she takes strange trades. She's just grumbling. Ray of sunshine, she is.)

"Something presentable, anyway," he amended. "She just didn't want to have me looking like a raggamuffin. I'll be back another day when I have my own money for some real clothes."

He shrugged.

"I'll take whatever you think is suitable."

Oh! Oh! Oh, he was here for a makeover! He had money and wanted her to make him pretty! She was so very good at that! And so few people had the sense to just ask her and instead wore whatever they found on their floor and he was in good hands, now. He should come right in and she would save him from the nightmare that was bad fashion sense. She was thinking a lot of green, here. He had very nice eyes and green would make them pop. Not literally, as that would be gross. Jeans? Did he own jeans? They could start at the beginning. Oh, this was going to be great fun, it was.

After his conversation with Isabel, Romeo went for a walk through town, mulling the idea of employment. He had never truly considered it before; he knew his father would provide him with more than enough money.

Yet a job -- a purpose, something to fill his empty hours -- had a certain appeal. Impulsive, he stopped into the first store that seemed to be seeking employees.

"Hello?" he called, as he turned slowly looking for a manager. "I come to ask about your sign."

If Tink was inclined to notice such things, she would have seen his t-shirt was Calvin Klein, the blazer and pants by Marc by Marc Jacobs, and the shoes vintage Pumas.

Ooooh. Tink was always inclined to notice these things, being a complete snob as she was. More so when the boy the clothes were attached to was the type of boy that should be wearing clothes like that. Why, hello there!

Was he asking about her employment sign? Please say that he was, and he wanted to be fashionable and bitchy at customers. He would get a discount, and could have some of her absinthe! And if he didn't want to be bitchy, she'd waive that on account of hot.

Romeo, startled by the proprietess's appearance, just barely avoided saying something not terribly brilliant to alert Tink to the fact she was small! and winged!. He swallowed hard.

"Yea, assistance wanted," he clarified, then quickly took in the shelves nearest him before giving his version of a sales pitch. "They say clothes make the man, and I should like to be such a man as this shop could dress, and give others leave to do the same. And, as I have always had good clothes, I would be most suited to be at your assistance."

And he wanted some absinthe.

Oh! Oh, she very much liked his speech, and she applauded very nicely and gave a happy wriggle at the end of it. He should come right this way and over to her register because that was the counter where she hid all the absinthe. And some tequila, but that was for when the absinthe ran low. My, he was ever so pretty!

Would he like to see the room in the back, where she burned things? Some things were far too hideous to even keep around while sending them back to the designer with a note that said EVEN CRACK WHORES THINK THIS IS POSSIBLY A LITTLE TACKY and so she burned them. And drank! Tink drank a lot. It was okay, she shared. Here! Absinthe!

Romeo followed Tink toward the back room, guessing this meant he had the job. "Most hideous," he decided, looking at one particular bright-purple sequined minidress with a shimmering neon marabou trim. "'Tis a joke. None could be so daft."

He took a sip of absinthe and immediately burst out laughing. "Whoooa."

Hey, he did grow up on the ocean in California.
