Cinderella's Revenge
Nov 06, 2008
When I was young, my non-biological mother would read me bedtime stories, usually about beautiful princesses and big, strong knights in shining armor who would sweep them off their feet. It turns out Marc’s mother read him the same stories. I wonder if that had any affect on him. Anyway, one of the stories I heard about was Cinderella – the miserable, dirty peasant girl who magically turns into the belle of the ball and marries the handsome prince. And as a small, innocent girl, I remember thinking, “Yeah, right. Like a prince would go slumming for some chimney sweep.” But then I entered the Fashion World and saw some serious lost causes turned into beautiful (or at least beautiful adjacent) specimens due to great clothes. You see Tim Gunn do it all the time. And the other day, I whipped out my own Gunns and played a little Style Fairy Godmother myself.
You see, Betty brought a friend of hers to Mode named Kimmie. She was in some sort of '90s time warp. I mean, tiny backpack? That went out of style before carbs. But suddenly, inspiration struck and after I sprinkled her with a little couture pixie dust, that little Blunderella went from flub to fab.
It was like I had a blank palette to paint on. I realized, I make myself beautiful and hip every day… why couldn’t I do it for someone else? Obviously, making myself beautiful isn’t much of a challenge, but after I was able to wash the hanging-out-behind-the-7-11 vibe off of her, the rest came naturally.
But then, something went terribly wrong. I felt like the evil scientist guy in that Frankenstein movie – Dr. What’s-his-name. My creation turned on me. All of a sudden, the ugly duckling that I changed into a swan then changed into a high-cheekboned vulture. Clearly, the beauty I gave her was too much to handle. It consumed her, turning her into a shallow, elitist, social-climbing snob… and not in the good way. So my advice to all you makeover artists out there is to pack up your makeup brushes and put the clothes back on the hangers, because it’s not worth it. Ugly people just can’t handle the power that being pretty gives them. They won’t be able to control it. I think that’s why the Cinderella story ends when it does – just after she runs off with the prince. Because they don’t want you to see the shrew she becomes afterward. Think about it, now that Cinderella’s pretty, you think she’s going to a wear a dress made by mice again? Not likely. And after a few months of living the plush life in the royal palace, glass slippers won’t cut it anymore. You know she called for a cobbler to be wagoned in from Italy to make her some custom made ballet flats.
It’s okay for ugly people to stay ugly. There are plenty of other things they can do – like take pictures of pretty people, or do hair and makeup for pretty people, or work in radio. Let’s leave being pretty for the pretty people. We know how to handle it. And we don’t want it falling into the wrong hands....
