Room 506, Monday afternoon
Nov. 23rd, 2015 10:01 amRingo hadn't been to a club before. Prior to Fandom, she'd never really had the opportunity. She wasn't even sure if she was super-excited about it now that she did have the opportunity, but she did have to admit that she was curious.
And a bit competitive.
Which meant that her first time at a club had to be impressive. But it was hard to be impressive when you weren't entirely sure what constituted "impressive" at the intended venue. Which was why Ringo wasn't making a ton of progress in picking from the various dresses that she'd laid out on her bed. They were all new-ish, items she'd picked up on her trip into Baltimore with Kathy.
At least she'd decided that she was definitely wearing heels, and she only had the one pair of those, so that part of her wardrobe was figured out?
Now she just had to do the rest.
Good thing she had plenty of time.

So she tried again, shifting some of the movement from her hips down into her knees while trying to emphasize the way her hips were still moving.
And not looking at Kathy.

Date: 2015-11-26 07:31 pm (UTC)Eventually she was going to get around to asking why this was the appropriate style of dancing for a club.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-26 08:46 pm (UTC)"It's lookin' good," Kathy approved. "You can keep practicing while I figure out some potential outfits. That's your basic dance, uh, step?" Not that it was really a step as such. "But another important move is this."
And then she grooved down low, bottom out, before dancing back up straight. "The trick is to go as low as possible without falling over." Which for them wasn't really an issue.

Date: 2015-11-26 09:21 pm (UTC)She figured that would be the easiest way for Ringo to get it: make it a competition.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-26 09:23 pm (UTC)She kept practicing while glancing over at Kathy. "So I've got something that'll work, right?"
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 06:49 pm (UTC)"Yup! I've narrowed it down to three," Kathy said, scooping up several of the other dresses to hang back up in Ringo's closet. "They're the ones closest to you. Pick the one you like--you need more shoes."
One pair of heels, Ringo? You know you needed more than ATs, right?
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 07:17 pm (UTC)She looked over the three outfits thoughtfully. "Are these the three shortest things I own?" she asked, not upset or shocked, merely curious.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 07:33 pm (UTC)Hey, everyone knew of Kathy's predilection for short. If you had the legs to wear it--and Ringo did--flaunting just made sense.
"Actually, you should try all three on and we can decide which one looks the best on you. And what hairstyle goes best with whichever one you choose. Where's your makeup?"
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 07:51 pm (UTC)"Okay. I guess I can just start with one at random?" Ringo suggested, reaching out for a dress. "Oh, and my make-up bag is in the top drawer of my desk." But don't look in there, Kathy! You'd only be horrified by how tiny it was!
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 07:58 pm (UTC)Honestly? Kathy was just pleased Ringo had makeup.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 08:27 pm (UTC)And, come on, Ringo dressed up sometimes! She totally had some blush in there, and some lip gloss, and some eye liner. And, um, maybe some other stuff she'd never used? Maybe Kathy could even tell her what it was!
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 09:16 pm (UTC)...Which she only knew because of her mother's relentless insistence upon the subject, followed by Sarah's enthusiasm, but still! She knew!
"One sec," she said. "I'm going to get my supplies. Be right back." Before Ringo even finished getting into the dress, most likely, considering her room was right down the hall.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 09:35 pm (UTC)She hadn't actually worn this one yet, but she'd tried it on at the shop, so she managed to get it situated pretty easily. "What did you need to get?" she asked, turning to look over at Kathy curiously once she was dressed again.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 11:07 pm (UTC)That's a good thing, Ringo. Promise.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 11:21 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 11:32 pm (UTC)Because it wasn't going to be in ponytails. It just wasn't.
"Makeup comes last. First dress, then hair, then makeup." Beat. "...Please tell me you have more than a brush laying around here for hair supplies. And elastics don't count towards a yes."

Date: 2015-11-27 11:39 pm (UTC)"Anyway, in that case, how does this dress look?" she asked, looking down, and doing a little spin so that the skirt flared out slightly.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 11:57 pm (UTC)Kathy looked at it, mulled it over for a moment, then shook her head. "More cute than awesome," she declared. "Try the next one."
no subject
Date: 2015-11-28 12:01 am (UTC)"Okay." Ringo reached up and pulled off the dress, tossing it in a wad on the bed and grabbing the next one to try on. "Is this better?" she asked, trying to adjust the low cut to cover up some of her cleavage.
Totally missing the point.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-28 12:08 am (UTC)Appreciate what you had, Ringo! Not everyone was that lucky!
no subject
Date: 2015-11-28 12:13 am (UTC)She put her hands down and then clasped them behind her back and straightened her spine enough to arch her chest out. It emphasized the way the dress draped even further, and she looked down at herself. Considering.
