" He got me MAKEUP CREW!!!!! . " yelled Funke as she arrived at her apartment only to meet an actual makeup crew in her apartment all set up and seemingly waiting for her arrival .

". There she is ." came a voice from her side which came from an old lady who came up to her and started sizing her up alongside her assistant who followed her .

" so skinny ...don't you eat and those are a lot of veins for a lady your age... all that stress is not good for you." said the old lady .

" excuse me ma'am I do not know who you are but you and your whole circus clown's have got to get." said Funke while trying to be polite.

" we can not leave until I don't with you and Roxanne is my name noore of this ma'am nonsense." replied Roxanne.

" okay let me put it this way , your boss or whatever you call him does not have any right to Infringe on my private space so kindly please get out I just said please." said Funke.

" He did say that she would be cranky" muttered Roxanne under her breath.

" And also Miss Akinotan.. . or should I say Funke no I think I will stick to the first one." said Roxanne as she pondered on how best to address Funke .

" Yes ma'am I think you should do you ."said her assistant.

" Excuse me I think we are straying away from the point "interrupted Funke." I want you out now as in NOW !!"said,no shouted Funke at the group of people.

" We can not as in not I mean NOT!! do that because we have a fashion EMERGENCY!! come on everybody let's fix this wreck ." said Roxanne but a little quiet at the end .

" YES MA'AM!!* came a chorus of responses from the male up crew as you they all rushed towards her .

" wait, wait WAIT unhand me now I do not need a make up crew to be beautiful... but wait a minute I do get a deep tissue massage and a nice mask on my face ."asked Funke after suddenly realizing how good her situation was.

" Wait you are going to spend five hours on dolling me up." asked Funke as a woman already started curling her hair.

" I said five to six hours and that is just a probability in fact this could last seven hours and also Dotun could you find something to do about her edges." said Roxanne .

"what about my edges?" asked Funke while checking her face especially her edges in the mirror in front of her.

" Nothing just a little uneven." replied Roxanne .

" uneven how oh! wait I see it " said Funke .

" Now let's start" said Roxanne .

After seven hours, a series of beauty and facial care regiment and manicure and pedicure and a deep facial and tissue massage and waxing which caused a lot of screaming to echo through the apartment Funke was finally all dolled up and looking pretty after her makeover .

" Okay honey this is the Thirtieth dress and this has got to fit so please when ever you are ready . " said Roxanne.

"Okay can I come out now." asked Funke behind the make- shift changing room in front of her couch as all members of the makeup crew were gathered around it all waiting for her to reveal herself .

"""YES!!!!."""shouted all members of the crew .

"okay three, two ,one. ghere I come." said Funke as she stepped out of the makeshift changing room slo ly as if wanting to savour everyone's expression as she was donning sheath gown which hugged and fitted her figure which was not always revealed due to her usual style of dressing.

" How do I look ? ." asked Funke still taking in every ones expression .

" Wow! like I mean WOW!! , you look so pretty I think I might be in the presence of an Angel ." replied Roxanne still engulfed in a different emotional state still daze d at how the light pink dress complemented her dark toned skin body with a braid on her head which was cream in color. when all colors were combined it gave of the impression of well .. WOW! to anybody who might look at her .

" you look lovely Miss Akinotan"

" Damn you looking fine girl "

" I did not know there was still some fine looking gals out of there mm mm mm I could just eat you up."

" looking good Miss Akinotan." Came a torrent of compliments being rained upon Funke all complimenting her on her good looks .

"When I first saw you ,you were like a child and now you are a woman no a goddess because that is the only way to categorize your beauty, are you interested in becoming a model I promise you a steady paycheck and I will have people lobong up for you to come to their shows so what do you say to that ." complimented Roxanne while trying to offer Funke a job to become a model.

" Thanks Roxanne for the compliment and sorry but I will have to turn down your offer but whenever I see a chance I will give you a call." replied Funke .

" Okay I understand you can't win the hem all but serious do those breathing exercises I told you about to reduce those veins popping all over your face ." said Roxanne

" Yeah thanks Roxanne this has been memorable." said Funke as she hugged Roxanne to show her appreciation and thanks .

"oh!! wait what is the time ."asked Funke as she broked the hug between her and Roxanne.

" It is just seven thirty."

"I am coming just hold on and calm down,oh! Jennifer it's you." said Funke as she opened the door only to see a familiar face .

" No wonder those knocks felt familiar" said Funke while muttering under her breath towards the end of her sentence .

"That is nice of you but let's get going now, will that be oi with you ." asked Funke.
