Poem Title:
Poem
Kim (one of my BFF) brightened with inspiration, “Oooo! Send him a sexy pic!” “I’m NOT going to sext a guy out of the BLUE,” I grumbled, indignantly. Kim turned to her phone, “No, No, of COURSE not.” She said as she texted. “Come on” she said, as she pulled me off my chair and out the door. We raced over, on foot, to my friend Bili’s house (two houses away). We entered without knocking (as usual) and ran upstairs. Bili lay on her stomach on her unmade bed, fiddling with her phone, ankles up and crossed but she twisted up to attention when we came in. “What should we do first?” She said, as if there were a million things to do. They set upon me and had my regular clothes off in a heartbeat. Like all makeovers, this had a prelapsarian purity - the ritual stripping down to blankness before rebuilding. They quickly went through about half of Bili’s closet - selecting just the right combination of trashy and classy clothes designed to seduce. They finally settled on a black slip under an ivory peignoir, stockings with garters and black strappy heels. Kim twisted my hair up into a loose “Gibson Girl.” “Hold still,” Bili said, as she grasped my chin and expertly blended red, gold and black glittery eyeshadows followed by lip liner and gloss. “This is just a quickie job,” she reminded me. I stared at this strange version of myself in the vanity. Kim frowned and looking around, she spread a pink scarf over the desk light to give the room a rosy glow. They went into studio mode - posing me in various ways from coquettish to bored lounging - suggesting expressions and taking endless pictures with my phone. Finally, they were satisfied and handed me my phone. “Shall we go through them?” Bili asked “Naah,” I said, “I’ll go through ‘em and pick one - or two.” Later, at home, I looked through them - I looked SO different - and I had to admit - sexy even. But was that ME? I cringed, what if my mom saw these trashy, Kardashian-like photos somewhere? I never sent them. I thought I’d have to explain it to my girls. “HA!” They laughed, “We KNEW you’d never use ‘em” Bili said, as Kim shook her head “Nope.” “It was fun though!” We all agreed. . . . NOTE: This is a pre-pandemic story from August 2019. I was 15 - the idea wasn’t to seduce this guy, it was to get his interest so he would ask me out . =]
