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?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Well, I usually don't accept date requests two weeks or more ahead of schedule, but I'll make an exception this time.

I'll model if you do me a favor in return.

A negotiation?

Something like that. Are you willing to entertain me for a moment?

Angela, darling, I could entertain you for hours.

Careful. I might take that the wrong way.

I want to create something. An outfit. I'd need your help.

I might have meant it the wrong way. [You're a horrible influence on him]

But I'd love to help you, what did you have in mind?

And people call me evil. [This is she very proud of.]

That's the problem. I have the colors and the effect I want to give off in mind, but not how to put it into fabric. That's your forte.

Like a custom dye job or a fabric paint?

More like that fire effect. Only not fire but wind. Without the use of a gigantic fan.

That's... a bit trickier. I'd have to find someone who could make miniature fans, and then find a way to conceal them in the garment without restricting air flow. What do you want the wind to actually do? Blow upwards? Around? In a particular direction?

Around. Like somebody's in a light windstorm.

[She hums lightly.]

But a month is probably not enough time to find and hire somebody to make those fans, right?

Probably not enough. Have you talked to Ginny?

This is why I stick to canvas and only customize already made clothes.

No, I haven't. I think she's busy with her mini-family reunion going on.

I'm planning on asking her for a favor, I can add this into the request.

...she is happy, isn't she? I'm glad she has some of her people here.

If she can and wants to. If not, I'll live another day.

She is. And me too. [Angela's not going to admit she's a little bit jealous too.]

[She doesn't have to, he understands.]

We'll just move it back and so something like it for the spring.

If I don't change my mind first.

[Which will happen because this is Angela.]

What did you have in mind for me?

Basic black, the focus for you will be the shoes.

You can't just leave me hanging like this. Details, details!

No. Not yet.

That sounds totally exciting!

Not even a hint? If you want me to agree to be a model even though I am still too short to be one, I need some temptation.

I'm glad you're excited.

How big of a collection is it going to be?

If you insist.

[ooc: He's attached a set (http://www.refinery29.com/static/bin/entry/1b9/x/26393/elizabeth-and-james-shoes-1.jpg) of sketches (http://www.millionlooks.com/images/giuseppe-zanotti-shoes-autumn-2009-winter-2010-200x200.jpg). In case I forget to tell you later, he'll reveal at the event that it's called the Montenegro line.]
