Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 15:41:51 -0500 From: Robyn Harris Organization: Wesleyan College Subject: INT: EMJAYS: ALYSON's Salon--Robyn pays her friend a visit The lady in black left the tent quite happy, taking her dog, who was also very well-groomed with her. Alyson counted the money she had earned and split it with Bigwun. Bigwun smiled. "Thank you, but I have to go. Billy is waiting." And she left, leaving Alyson alone. Bigwun had chosen that two-bit cheater over her. she was hurt. And now she didn't have a partner. She sulked in the corner. A teenager in a purple sequin dress with purple hair came staggering in. "Whew!" the girl smiled. "I ran all the way from the Rock The Vote Convention." "Can I help you with something?" Alyson asked. then she recognized the girl. Her friend, creator, and namesake, Robyn Alyson. "Robyn! Ohmigawd! What did you do to your hair? It's purple, I know that's your favorite color, but come on!" "Well, Aly, you know how impulsive us KIDs are. We just do spur of the moment things. Why If I could LIST all the crazy things I've done as a KID, --- I digress. I used Hydrience (tm) and this is what I got. Fix it Aly. I know you did Imelda Rivera's hair so I know you can do mine. and I'd like to rent that amythest and diamond set." Aly set to work. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, trying to wash out the hair color and wash in a brown. An hour later the hair still remained stubbornly purple. "LISTen Robyn, I'm not KIDding about this, don't dye your hair again for a long time. Let it grow out. You have such a nice brown. Okay this is the best I can do. Lets put it up in a crown of curls and use the amythest and diamond set. I mean, you look like a grape, why not go all the way?" "Piss off." "Don't act like such a KID." "I am a kid. And I am running for LIST KID. I really wish I could win, wouldn't it be wonderful to feel that someone is taking notice of me?" Robyn's eyes got that far off look she got when discussing the Acadamy awards. She said dreamily, "I'd like to thank Goad and my Mother, without whom I wouldn't be hear today. I would like to thank the Writers Mailing list for being very supportive of my work. They helped me to improve my self-esteem. and I would like to thank William, who gave me courage and strength. But most of all, I would like to NOT thank Candice Koern. In fact, I have recieved this award despite you. Now you tell me this, who's the insignificant brat now?" Robyn sighed and Aly rolled her eyes. How many times had she heard the story about Candice the Demon Teacher who called Robyn insignificant. Robyn's most ferverent dreams were to win many kudos for her works and smile and Candy and say, "Not Thank You." "You scan the credits for your name and wonder why it's not there." (alanis morrisette) Robyn quoted. Aly finished Robyn's Hair. "Go. And good luck. If I existed, I would vote for you." "Thanks." Robyn pecked her friend on the cheeck and left, leaving a hefty amount of money for everything. ALyson sat back and waited for more customers, hoping they would have more interesting stories. ------------- You've been contacted ( ) I^^^^^ I ) I~~~~ I \ I \ A I \/ LilDevil@Dangerous-minds.com
