ATTENTION CITIZENS

Back home, around this time of year, the various Stylists of the Capitol would start previewing their fall and winter lines. While I don't think this City has any such formal method for those of us in the business, nevertheless I feel that I should keep to tradition.

So next month, passionné will be closing for a week and at the end of that week, we will be hosting a fall fashion exhibition and I'd like to invite the entire City to join us in celebration.

To that end, I am looking for caterers, musicians, and artisans of all kinds who would like to join in the celebration, exhibiting their talents and wares for the evening.

If you are interested, you can reply here or in person at passionné.

[ooc: The following are all voice messages, all replies will be voice.]

[Private to Ginny]

I'm going to need a little magical assistance for this, as well as just your personal attendance. Are you interested?

[Private to passionné employees]

This will entail quite a bit of work on all our parts, if any of you have friends or acquaintances that are needing employment, I'll be hiring extra help. And of course, anyone who performs well might be kept on past the event. Fall and winter are always busy seasons in fashion.

[Private to the Games crew]
[He's faking a serious voice.] I need models, you're all drafted. [He pauses for effect before letting out a light chuckle.]

But in all seriousness, if you really have something better to do, or would rather work behind the scenes, I can find others. I'd prefer my favorite models, but I won't insist.

[Private to Angela]

Is it too early to ask you to be my date for the evening? And perhaps model something special?

Shoot.

But I think you repel people with bad taste, so you're probably safe.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Would you mind if I designed your wardrobe for the evening? I'll have a more formal presentation, but I like to have my designs out in the public as much as possible. I have a suit that I think might, well, suit you if you can forgive the bad joke.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Oh, if only, Katniss. Some of the people in the Capitol... terrible taste and they thought I would cave to their every neon-colored whim.

[ In which Arthur spends a moment blinking at the device. ]

[dropkick]

I'd be glad to do it, joke included. But I think you need to redefine 'bother', since what you just asked me isn't one.

[ He considers it a privilege really, Cinna's designs speaking for themselves judging by last time. ]

Having your designs in the crowd's a nice immersion technique, besides.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

I think we're both lucky that you didn't.

[ Though her opinion of that may be (will be) far more ambivalent in the not so distant future of her own timeline at least. ]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I've always preferred practicality to showing off. I'll make sure you have all the information you need if you're asked questions.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I think we are. I much prefer my own designs.

[dropkick]

Practicality in fashion, huh.

You make waves in the industry back home?

[ So many points 8( practicality A++++ -- the bemused approval is in his tone at least. ]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm renowned for my restraint. It makes the times I do show-off... all the more impressive.

[Because there was NOTHING restrained about his last major commission.]

If he proves immune, let me. Might be able to help. If we're goin' to be there anyway.

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to get you a discount.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can find walking advertisements that aren't quite so tall and lanky as I am, Cinna.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Interested enough to ask what I should be interested in.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Why thank you, Peeta.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I think that's lovely.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

But I happen to like tall and lanky for my designs.

Re: Employees Filter

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Well, if you think he'd listen to you...

private;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't really understand how your magic works, but I was hoping for some... special ambiance. Like perhaps the illusion of snow or some falling leaves?

private;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sure, of course I could do that. Charms was always my favourite subject, that's easy.

Re: Employees Filter

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Well, you ought to give it a go first. If that doesn't do it, I'll have a talk to him.

[She's fairly sure he'll do it for her but she wants to see his expression when Cinna asks.]

private;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. How are you with wind?

[dropkick]

Not hard to believe.

[ Though he wonders what showing off might be manifested in for someone like Cinna of course... ]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting that what is normal to me is a little... strange to others.
