Cherlyn scoffed and leaned back in the limo, her arms crossed over her chest, long, brunette hair tied back in a tight ponytail, though it was difficult to wrangle all of it under slick control when it was as thick as it was. But, as always with the famous popstar, she had to always have everything under control. At least she had a good, natural tan going for her, her body an ideal hourglass shape with her lips accentuated so that they were a little fuller than usual, all down to her lipstick and plumper. Her fake eyelashes fluttered behind her sunglasses as she glanced down at her phone, one leg crossed over the other with a six-inch heel dangling in the air.
It was taking too long, as usual, but she was short-tempered, to say the least of it, but having Gossip magazine open on her lap didn't help the matter. Photos of herself and Nathalie were splashed across the open page.
Nathalie out. Meet your new judge, America: British pop star CHERLYN!
She sighed, though it was a great opportunity, something to keep her interested, though there was a lot to distract her in life. Without looking at her phone, she tapped at the touch screen, holding it up in front of her as she made a call on speaker phone.
"Ugh, Connor..." She moaned, launching into the conversation before the person on the other end of the line had even had a chance to say anything. "It's so stressful working with new people! What if they don't have the sliced melon I like? The makeup team better be ready to shut up and listen to me too! I have very specific ways that I need to be presented!"
Of course, she knew what she liked and that was the end of it, the limo rolling smoothly down the road, Cherlyn groaning to her husband about her new role. Most people would have been thrilled about it, especially considering that she had pursued other avenues than an active music career in the end, but she could only see the problems, the obstacles in her way to shining. It was a good thing that Connor was a good listener, for he at least allowed her to get most of it off her chest before the limo pulled into the studio lot.
"Miss?" The driver caught her attention as Cherlyn hung up, lips twisting while her disapproval was mostly hidden behind her shades. "We're here."
"Great."
There was too much derision in her tone, but she strutted into the studio, up the ramp and through the doors, with the pride that she always carried with her.
And there they were -- Viviana and her team. Although Cherlyn didn't know their names, only Viviana's, as her makeup artist, Kobe was of Japanese descent and Seb was flamboyant, a fancy, small scarf knotted around his neck, though he seemed to have a sharp eye for makeup and design, if his personal presentation was anything to go by. He, however, was the photographer, the one who would take images of her for her shoots and advertising material, though Cherlyn didn't really care as long as the day passed without much note.
"Everyone! Listen up!"
Cherlyn, however, didn't really care for them. Viviana, a slim woman with short, sharp blonde hair cropped around her cheeks, smiled widely and clapped her hands for attention.
"This is, Cherry, she's here to be the new presenter -- how exciting!"
Before she could stop them, Kobe and Seb chorused a welcome to her, using the nickname that wasn't really a nickname at all -- it wasn't even shorter than her name.
"No, my name's Cherlyn," she said primly, her sunglasses still in place. "Thank you."
Her tone was so sharp and so clipped that she could have cut glass, but the others only smiled and nodded.
"Ok, Cherry."
"No problem, Cherry!"
She frowned, about to say more, but there was not even a seat for her there in the makeup studio, a photography section set up with lights and a backboard across the room. How unprofessional was that? Unfortunately for Cherlyn, Viviana bustled in before Cherlyn could even say anything, holding her hands up and snapping for attention.
"Alright, everyone! Let's make this a great day! First, I need to see what I'm working with... Lorel! Lafawna! I need you!"
Everything happened in a blur. Cherlyn would not have been able to stop the large women, dark-skinned of African American descent, from whisking her away, though she did gasp and protest, yanking her elbow out of the grip of the shorter woman's hand. Her fingernails had dug in more like claws, though Cherlyn was certainly not one to talk, considering that her own fingernails were long and painted, even if that was likely going to have to change for the shoot.
"Hey! Watch your hands there! You can't drag me about like this!"
"Oh, honey," Lorel laughed, more than large and strong enough to pick up Cherlyn if ever needed. "You've got to get bathed! What do you think you're here for?"
Nothing within her control: that was the answer. Yet Cherlyn did not know the truth of it, not as she was taken to a separate room -- a large bathroom with a big tub set right in the centre of it. She smacked them away imperiously, telling them that she was quite clean enough for the test run and shoot, thank you very much, but Lorel and Lafawna appeared to be more than used to dealing with women like her.
"Get your hands off me!"
The words leapt from her lips before Cherlyn had a moment to register what they were doing to her, skilled, swift hands all over her, stripping her of her top, popping the buttons on the high-quality blouse. Nothing was ripped, but they handled her and her body as if she was nothing to them, as if it was all something they did daily.
