"LIGHTS, PEOPLE. WHERE'S HAIR AND MAKEUP? HELLO?! THIS IS NOT A JOKE, WE'RE ON IN ONE HOUR."
Rudy scanned himself in the mirror, flashing a broad grin of approval. The blinding rhinestones of his outfit gleamed feverishly under the light, a perfect look on stage. His music was enough to make the ladies swoon, but a dazzling, decked-out jacket never hurt. Once hair and makeup arrived, he would be absolutely irresistible.
A petite fashionably dressed girl sauntered into the dressing room, sporting a shimmering orchid pink romper and all-white platform sneakers. Her icy blue eyes assessed Rudy from head to toe as she released a deep sigh. "I make beautiful clothes, but the wearers are not always that beautiful."
