[At first, it's difficult to see what's going on. The video feed that flips on shows a manicured hand with short, tidy nails and the camera angle is moving. At last, the camera stops moving around and Quinn can be seen. Bulla's voice is in the background.]

Okay, I think I've got it.

[The sound of footsteps can be heard as Bulla moves to join her friend.]

[Quinn smiles brightly for the camera, very much in her element. She's so excited she could explode (except not literally because ewwww)]

Hello, Luceti! This is Quinn Morgendorffer and Bulla Brief, and do we have an exciting offer for you!

[Bulla's quite excited as well. They'd been planning this for a while and now they're ready to unveil Fashion Club to the general public of Luceti. Of course, this had involved dressing their best. They could hardly promote Fashion Club without looking fashionable themselves, after all.]

We are proud to present Fashion Club. Do you enjoy dressing your best? Are you looking for some fashion tips? Fashion Club is here for you!

We'll tell you what's hot and what's not, the right colors for your skin tone, the best hairstyles, and of course, the art of accessorizing! And what's more, if you're just as interested in helping the fashion-challenged as we are, we have plenty of openings!

[She's not going to insist on rigid auditions and rules the way Sandi did. As long as someone has a basic sense of style and plenty of enthusiasm, they're fine in her book.]

Aside from giving the fashionably-inclined a place to meet and socialize, Fashion Club will also be offering free advice and makeovers. If you have a special occasion, like a formal event or a date coming up, come to us! We'll make sure you look your absolute best.

[Which is part of why Bulla's glad she talked to her mother about having meetings at the salon. Then they've got the equipment there for the works.]

So come join us at the Pearl Eden salon today!

Like, I know, right?! I know they say you shouldn't, but people totally like, take stock in what people look like. Looking good and being fashionable are like, important parts of society, I guess?

[After all, most of the cool adults she knows seem to dress well.]

Really? Well...I like to think I dress okay, but a little advice never hurts. And getting a makeover might be kinda fun now that you mention it...!

[Bulla is waiting by the salon's doors and waves in greeting.]

Hi! I'm glad you could make it!

That's the spirit! Some people need less help than others, but an outside opinion can still be helpful even for the very fashionable.

[Like herself and Quinn. For either of them, advice makes a difference between them making good choices vs. the best choices.]

Hello...

[Karla's return greeting sounds more awkward than anything.]

I made it. What do we do now?

[You may need to start from scratch with this one. It's a good thing she's already beautiful without trying to be.]

Of course, you realize that means you're telling everyone that anyone can be beautiful.

Yeah...Well, next time you guys have a meeting maybe I'll come by and check it out then! It's been like, over a year since I really tried something new, like, fashion-wise.

[Besides, it might be nice to make friends with more girls.]

[After hearing this message, Effie makes her way over to the salon. A makeover sounds WONDERFUL. She will, of course, be wearing her typical Capitol fashions: bright purple and pink colors, high heels, and a very prominent curling silver wig.]

Hello? Are you still doing makeovers here?

Yeah, that's what a lot of people don't realize!

We always are! Come on in! [And you are SO in need of one, Quinn mentally adds]

[Oh dear...you came just in time, Karla dearest.]

You...really like white, don't you?

Well, that theory's still being tested. Some people are ugly no matter what they wear. [Yes, Ms. Li, she means you.]

[She smiles lightly.]

Yes...I suppose I do.

[She hasn't really thought about why, though.]

People who know a lot about fashion provide, like, a valuable service, I guess. So, that's like, all the more reason you should set up a booth at the party! People should know about important stuff like this! I might have to check the club out myself, really...

[She's agree, but it's not entirely a matter of the face. Or body. It's Ms. Li's utter lack of common sense or ethics.]

Yeah, but those people have other problems already.

[In she comes. Effie inspects the salon, which apparently meets all her expectations because she smiles at the sight of it. And the smell -- mmmm, hair chemicals! It's one of the best smells, really, because it smells like self-betterment and confidence. Carefully she sets her lace-decorated pillbox hat on a nearby table and pats her wig.]

I am SO glad I didn't miss it.

[Well, those natural looks will help as far as not needing a lot of makeup. Her fashion sense, on the other hand, needs some work.]

Okay, so first thing : when is your date?

White is a big risk, just so you know. You're lucky enough you can pull it off without looking creepy or something, but it stains so easily.

[You're not the only one, Miss.]

So, what shall we do first?

Oh wow, then you are definitely overdue for experimenting with your look.

[It's not necessarily a fashion emergency since some looks are classics, but Bulla is going to be more insistent now.]

Yeah, like a bad attitude. Or just being really stupid.

Come on in, then! We'd be so happy to have you.

[Yes, Quinn, now you are getting it. Ugly is that attitude, not a lack of the right nailpolish or whatever the fashion club was voting on last time they met.]

You'd better get to the library. You'll want to make sure you know if they're doing it right, won't you?

[Don't rub it in, Daria, she feels geeky enough realizing it]

Very funny!

I rather thought I'd leave that to YOU, dear. Though I should tell you that my Power Color is bright purple!
