So in soft pink cotton skirts and white cotton sleeveless blouses Jane and Sharon got into the car for the 10-minute drive. Gemini's was located in the now almost deserted 'downtown' area that had suffered from urban sprawl, the original shops gone west as the out of town malls undercut them, both on price and variety. The address was one such defunct outlet with large shop front, the window blacked out and the company logo and name in white across it. The 3 floors above that presumably had been living quarters for the owners and storage were now boarded up as were those of the other remaining shops in the block. One side of Gemini's was a 'bar', the sort where nubile young women dance, not around their hand bags but poles, the pink neon sign reading 'butter lies', the 'f' having died and not been replaced. The other side was a dingy looking bookstore whose racks of second hand books looked like they had not been perused for years, the few customers that did frequent it preferring the curtained off area at the back. "You ready, Honey?" Sharon asked as she parked the car on the opposite side of the road. Jane smiled thinly and got out of the car, crossed the street with her mom and entered Gemini's. The inside of the building was exactly what Sharon had been expecting, all concealed lighting and pictures of beautiful pairs of women in similar short depth of field pictures to the one on the front of the brochure. The reception area was sparsely furnished with a desk and 2 steel framed chairs in front. "Welcome to Gemini's." A voice said and Jane and Sharon both turned to the desk and saw a young woman in a white short sleeved dress that zipped up the front and had red piping around the neck and sleeves. A name badge on her left breast informed the world that she was Candy Albright. Receptionist. "Please take a seat and we will go through the paperwork, tedious I know but essential all the same." Candy continued with a warm smile indicating the chairs in front of her desk. After taking their names and checking the appointments book Candy passed apparently identical pieces of paper to Sharon and Jane and explained that it was their contracts for the day. Sharon glanced at the close type and knowing she really had no choice as she needed the $5000 to 'do a runner' with Jane, signed it and passed it back to Candy. Jane would have liked to spend a little longer reading the details but followed her mothers lead and signed and passed it over. With a warm smile Candy said "Thank you. Now if you would please wait here." She stood and left mom and daughter sitting in an awkward silence. "May I add my own special welcome." A warm English accent said behind them. Sharon and Jane both turned in their chairs to face the owner of the voice. Dressed similarly to Candy stood a woman whose name badge bore the title 'Amanda Levres. Owner' Sharon wondered whether Amanda's dress had been sprayed on. Where Candy, who now stood just behind her employer wore a white dress Amanda's was the deepest emerald green. It came to mid thigh but the zip started a good 4 inches higher and stopped exactly in line with her nipples that could be clearly seen through the tight slightly shiny material. Her long red hair was worn loose and fell in a cascade over her shoulders. Her makeup was exquisite, emphasising her deep green eyes and full red lips both of which smiled at the two women before her. Sharon let her eyes wander in admiration up Amanda's slightly glistening legs from her black strappy stiletto heeled sandals to the hem of her dress. "You must be Jane." Amanda said holding out her hand which being a polite girl Jane took and was about to shake when Amanda lifted it indicating she required Jane to stand. With Jane now upright Amanda circled her slowly; assessing her potential like someone about to buy a used car from a dodgy dealer. Standing at Jane's side and seeing the blush rise in her bare cheek Amanda reached out, cupping Jane's chin, her fingers and thumb against her cheek. She turned Jane's head this way and that not quite examining her teeth but assessing her profiles carefully. "Walk for me." Amanda said and not wishing to cause offence Jane obligingly walked towards the far wall, turned and walked back. "Very good, I'm sure we can bring out the best in you." Amanda said and turned her attention to Sharon. "As for you I know just the look that will suit you like a pony suits a trap." Jane didn't know whether to stay or sit and so took the path of least resistance and simply stood where she was as Amanda picked up 2 clipboards from Candy's desk, scribbled something out on one of them and wrote in a correction. "I have worked out a schedule for the 2 of you. Now although overall this is going to be a nice relaxing day, if you are going to be models you will have to get used to some, shall we say uncomfortable procedures." Amanda said with a smile. "As my gran always said, 'Pride must abide.' Do American grans say things like that as well? I'm sure they do. "Now to start off you are both together, then, because of your, lets say differing needs, you will each have different procedures. But you will of course meet up together for the final shoot although we will take some individual shots first. "Anyway lets get to it. You will each be assigned a personal groom. Jane will be looked after by Sasha, she is one of our best makeup artists and Sharon will have, let me see, ah yes, Carrie one of the finest costumiers in the business. I of course will oversee your transformations personally. Shall we go" Amanda said indicating the door through which she had appeared. Sharon stood and, seeing how ill at ease Jane was, took her hand and gave it a little squeeze as they followed Amanda to their new lives.
