A girl with pastel pink hair stood in the middle of a room, bowing her head and waving in all directions. She adjusted the microphone in front of her, mouthing the words 'thank you' while gleefully holding a trophy in her right hand. A crowd roared with applause and cheers of triumph behind her, brassy music further highlighting her win. She wore a black leather jacket over a turtleneck of the same color, heart shaped sunglasses with translucent rims and blue lenses sliding down her nose ever so slightly. The music faded.
Abruptly she picked up a small remote, pausing the TV before turning back to her audience. They were stuffed animals on a couch. "First of all, I'd like to thank G.O.D, my manager, my choir teacher from middle school Mr. Oh, the guys from My Chemical Romance for being my role models. Last but not least, my family. Wherever you guys are, you've been my rock, especially my little sister. Love you Arsenia! Thank you so much to my cousins in Alaska and Hawaii for always supporting me. Special shoutout to my cousins from Palm Springs because if they didn't come to the apartment and pick my parents up, tonight wouldn't be possible. P.S., drop my sister back off over here because it's awfully quiet without her. Thank you Los Angeles!" She played the TV again and the audience engaged as she walked away from the living room 'stage'.
The doll stood in a red Zac Posen flared dress, the tulle skirt long enough to cover her heels. Her hair was in a high ponytail, her earrings silver circles making a chain with emerald stones hanging at the very end. Her mother stood before a dressed up crowd, standing at a podium as her every vowel articulated. Lia couldn't seem to pay attention, words about business and stocks entering one ear and exiting the other. Nonetheless, she tapped her fork against the champagne glass just as everyone else did, her phone vibrating on the edge of a tall table.
