look me up and down quickly as a two-second
look of polite disgust washed over him. I knew my outfit was appalling by L.A.
standards, but after today, I was never going to wear those clothes ever again.
     
    “So Hudson tells me you’re ready for a Hollywood makeover,”
he said. “All we’re missing is the reality show T.V crew.”
     
    He laughed at his own joke, and I smiled courteously as I
sipped the champagne.
     
    “Don’t worry, doll,” he said. “We’re going to fix you up.
Hudson won’t know what hit him by the time we get you back here.”
     
    Butterflies ruffled my stomach as I fantasized about what I
was going to look like when he was done with me.
     
    “I’m Alec, by the way,” he said. “I’m your Fairy Gaymother.”
     
    He laughed, once again, at his joke.
     
    “Just joking. I’m your stylist and personal assistant for
the day,” he said. “I’ll be taking you everywhere and helping you shop for your
new wardrobe.”
     
    “Can’t wait,” I said.
     
    The limo pulled up in front of a salon on the corner of a
busy street and we climbed out.
     
    “You’re going to see Hudson’s personal hairstylist, Roxy,”
he said. “And his colorist, Maggie. They’re very difficult to get into, but
they’re squeezing you in as a personal favor to Hudson. Thank your lucky stars
and buy a lottery ticket, sweetheart, because this does not happen for just
anyone.”
     
    Within minutes of checking in, I was soon whisked off for a
consultation with Maggie who decided to paint a few subtle, balayage highlights
into my chestnut hair. Once the color had been applied and processed, I had my
hair washed and scalp massaged by a young, aspiring stylist. Lastly, I was
whisked off to meet with Roxy for a cut and styled out by Roxy’s assistant.
     
    Never did I ever think a haircut would make such a
difference, but the layers Roxy cut into my long hair completely changed the
shape of my face and brought out my hazel eyes.
     
    “Do we need eyebrows today?” Alec said as he perched against
the wall behind me. He exchanged looks with Roxy who subtly nodded. “Okay,
we’re doing eyebrows.”
     
    They escorted me to an esthetician who took her sweet time
crafting the most perfect arches I’d ever seen in my life.
     
    “These really accentuate your eyes,” she said. “Your eyes
are incredible. Perfect almond shape. Not too wide set, not too close
together.”
     
    I’d never had anyone pick apart my eye shape like that
before, but at least she was saying good things.
     
    “Th-thank you,” I stammered. At least I assumed she was
giving me a compliment.
     
    Alec glanced down at his big-faced watch. “We’ve got to go.
We have an appointment at Saks for makeup.”
     
    “I’m all done here,” the esthetician said as she admired her
work. The skin beneath my eyebrows stung a little, but I didn’t care. They
looked fabulous.
     
    We climbed back inside the waiting limo and headed to Saks
for our 2pm consultation at a Chanel makeup counter.
     
    “When Hudson called me earlier and told me he had a friend
coming in, I’ll admit I was a little curious,” Shanda, the makeup artist, said.
“But he told me about how naturally beautiful you were, and I just love working
with natural beauty.”
     
    Her skin was a flawless shade of cappuccino and she had the
longest eyelashes I’d ever seen. Her lips were soft and full and covered in a
pale, pink lip gloss. She was nothing short of beautiful herself.
     
    “Thanks,” I said. “I usually don’t wear a ton of makeup, so
I don’t want to get into some crazy routine.”
     
    “Absolutely,” she said as she held up different foundations
to my neck to try to find a match. “We can do a no-makeup look that’s perfect
for every day. Then I can find you some great lipsticks and eyeliners so you
can easily transition from day to night.”
     
    “Sounds great,” I said while I stared at my reflection in
the mirror on the counter.
