2st Design [voice]

So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but these alterations - they weren't voluntary? You all just woke up with them? Because I've seen fads catch like wildfires before, but this seems a bit much.

[There's a pause that seems as if he's somewhere watching someone pass him by.] You need some color variation in the glint and glimmer, perhaps some subtle shading? People aren't meant to be alabaster-diamond statues, they do have facial features that need highlighting lest they start to look like sparkly lumps. Perhaps the Deities would like some advice for future alterations?

Which brings me to the point of this message...

For those I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Cinna. I'm a designer and stylist of some repute back home and am looking to build a portfolio here. Seeing as this appears to be the major venue of communication for this place I thought I'd ask if there are any shops available I can work out of. I'd like to come to some kind of arrangement as I haven't the supplies or equipment here to go into business for myself quite yet.

And on a more personal note, Peeta and Katniss, I've found a lovely apartment here in the City proper, with a pleasant view and easy access to a number of locations. It's also quite quiet as there seem to be a number of vacancies nearby... on the off chance you should be interested. Not that your current residence doesn't have its... charm, but the sand does get everywhere, doesn't it?

...I officially suck at introductions. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm Dawn Summers, and sometimes I don't get distracted by the idea of real life Project Runway and actually have manners.

Ah, Dawn, the breaking of a new day. That's quite poetic when you think about it.

...what's a "Project Runway"?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

...Thanks. I mean, it's my name so it kind of lost any real poetry for me a long time ago, but. Thanks.

It's a TV show? Reality TV, where fashion designers compete against each other to win money so they can start their own line. I'm a little bit addicted.

A broadcast competition for fame and money?

[A pause. Because really?]...how novel.

Where I'm from they're actually starting to take over TV. It's a whole 'downfall of culture' thing, according to some people.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone somewhere thinks it has its uses.

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

I like them.

...Okay, some of them.
