Fashiona’s Family
Fashiona glides down the stairs and sees that her Date is still upright, good sign. Flash, Flash, Flash, Sis takes pictures. Mom (think Claire Huxtable) tearfully checks Fashiona’s straps one more time ok twice more and fixes her corsage. Dad is impressed with the Date’s solid handshake, his future college plans and his solemn oath to bring back Fashiona by curfew. Now Dad (a cross between Bill Cosby and Joe Clark from Lean on Me) blissfully absent while the primping was happening, eases back into his man world of Sports and the History channel and out of the khakis that Mom insists he wear for the occasion.
Sis, (a 15 year old tomboy who is the actually most photogenic girl on the planet with a genius level IQ), refrains from teasing Fashiona too much and actually enjoys watching the day long primp-a-thon saunters’ off to tell her best friend all about it. The sibling bickering will commence again tomorrow
.
At last the front door opens to the neighbors delight. Fashiona, enthralled by the attention
, gives her best pageant wave (yes,practice makes perfect) and briefly stops to take more pictures before ducking into the limo.
