Hollan Makhpiya POV
Don't think I didn't notice you messing up your hair when you thought I wasn't looking. I just slicked that back! Fine, have it your way. Why can't you be more like Emma? She looks like a pretty pink princess.
Frippery Tubman POV
My hand flew to my heart when I got Ava undressed. I'd never seen anything like it.
"Oh God, honey, what happened?" I gasped.
"I need to lose a few pounds. Do you have anything that can help?" Ava asked.
"NO!"
Cilantro Pestle POV
Abigail held out her arms and looked at her trembling feet.
"How do you walk in these?" she asked. I felt a moment of pain for girls who had to live without high heels. I was a man and I'd hate to live without them. I grabbed a larger pair off the wall and slipped them on.
"Allow me," I said. Fabulous!
Rouge Twain POV
This is a new one. My darling Tribute Shogo has a son who doesn't know he's in the Games. Luckily, I know all about show business.
"For your first scene, we'll be filming a stunning parade. I'll be your stylist. Let's get you ready for the big screen!"
Blush Paletti POV
"I came to the Capitol once when I was little," Skyler said. "Do you still have fruity ice?"
"Fruity ice? Oh, do you mean snow cones? Honey, that's just the beginning," I said. Skyler smiled like a little kid. If she's not busy training all the time, I'll have to show her around.
Puff Auri POV
"Were you Toby's stylist?" Hadley asked me. I was brushing on powder to remove those pesky freckles.
"He was one of my very first Tributes," I said. "Such a nice boy."
"How did he win?" she asked.
"He kept to himself and kept swimming," I said. Hadley didn't seem impressed.
Cocoa Mizrahi POV
Reiner was a fine, strong boy. He might actually win. I'm so tired of doing all I can to make two children pretty only to see them covered in blood. Either way, I would see at least one die. I wish I'd never taken this job.
Baste Marinade POV
"Would it be okay if I wore pants for the parade?" Tillo asked. I'd had a nice dress in mind, but I was open to new ideas.
"Most girls want fancy dresses," I noted as I fussed through the closet.
"That's so old. I think it would be neat if I wore a real sharp suit, like a boy," she said. A plan started to take shape. This was the fabric District. I could make this work.
Mint Goblet POV
This is going to be a good year. Mink is fine. I hardly have to do any work on him- a bit of foundation, some fierce eyeliner... he already looks ready to kill. He was confident, too. Lots of my Tributes are nervous, and I do my best to cheer them up. Mink was raring to rip. I do hope he's as good as he thinks.
Filay Spade POV
I wasn't sure there was enough soap in the Capitol. Finally, we discovered that Calvary is not spotty brown. She's white. Her hair really was brown, though. She could use a little spicing up, so we added ice blue contacts and some daring red lipstick. She wasn't too pleased, but the real trouble came when she saw the outfit. I just didn't get it. I thought all girls wanted to look like sexy cowgirls.
Creme Brulee POV
"You're going to need Beard-away, muscle pads, instant tan, a high collar, eyeliner, nude lipstick, fake lashes, skin smoother, gold eyeshadow and bronzer," I said when I took a look at Caleb. He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. He'll learn quick enough.
Cuisine Martinique
I don't think Mary Sue is a very nice girl. I had a cute outfit lined up for Twelve. It was different than the miner outfits they were always stuck in. Oh well, I guess that one won't work. I dug around in storage and found last year's outfit. Canary had been a rather large girl by Twelve standards. Unfortunately we won't have time to alter the outfit. Poor Mary Sue.
One wonders if the whole reason Mr. and Mrs. Brulee had a kid was to name her Creme.
