as a model

Chapter 18

Rosemary and Lily returned home during the Christmas holidays. Before entering the house, they heard their parents quarreling. The two sisters looked at each other, wondering whether they should enter the house or not.

"The question wasn't at all whether Fanny wanted to come to the festival, but that you had absolutely no respect for my opinion! Did you ask me first?"

"I just said I forgot because I was busy with work! Why are you still being so aggressive? Because you are prejudiced against Fanny! If my school colleagues came to celebrate the festival today, would you behave like this?"

"No! Because other people don't dictate our family affairs like Fanny—didn't you hear what she said about me?"

At this time, Petunia, who had returned home earlier than them, opened the window of the upstairs room and signaled them to enter the house through the back door of the kitchen. The two of them tiptoed into the house and went upstairs to meet Petunia.

"They have been arguing since I came back yesterday, and they would hide and quarrel before, but now..." Petunia didn't finish speaking, but rolled her eyes to explain everything.

Rosemary was not surprised at all. In her memory, her parents divorced at this time. The difference was that the three sisters stayed at home and heard them arguing every day. She was not surprised at all about their divorce. , I don't know how Petunia and Lily will react now.

"We can't let them quarrel like this anymore! Are they arguing about Aunt Fanny again this time?" Lily was very worried.

Petunia nodded helplessly, "Dad said Aunt Fanny was coming for Christmas, but forgot to tell Mom in advance—Mom is mad about it."

Rosemary really doesn't blame her mother for being angry. After all, except for Mr. Evans, no one in the family can stand Aunt Fanny. She loves to be picky and complains. Mrs. and the three Evans girls were ill-bred and ill-mannered, but it was known that she was just resentful of her younger brother starting a family and out of her control.

"Is that why no one came to pick us up at the station?" Rosemary asked helplessly.She and Lily had sent the owl Cinnamon home a long time ago during the train time, and there was no reason to miss it. Fortunately, the two of them didn't wait there and knew how to call home, so Petunia told them to take the bus back by themselves.

Petunia nodded, "Dad really went too far. He only said that he would have a meal in London when he was going to pick you up. He didn't mention it before Aunt Fanny arrived."

"No matter how much they quarrel, Aunt Fanny will definitely come for Christmas. Mom might as well not talk." Lily's face wrinkled when she heard the quarrel coming from downstairs.

"People who are angry can only vent their emotions like this. I'll go back to my room to catch up on sleep, and then call me when Aunt Fanny arrives!" Rosemary has experienced this situation countless times, rubbed her face, and decided Go squint first.

"Lumi! We have to stop them from arguing like this!" Lily grabbed her sister's hand and refused to let her leave.Petunia, who had only dared to hide in her room before, became more courageous when she saw her two younger sisters coming back, "Yes! Let's go down together."

What are you doing together?Rosemary shook her head resolutely, not wanting to get wet, but Petunia and Lily couldn't persuade her, and her strength was not as good as this younger sister who had been taking free kick classes for many years, so she had no choice but to give up.After the two of them went downstairs, they didn't know what to say, and the final result was that Mr. Evans drove, and Mrs. Evans took Lily and Petunia to pick up Aunt Fanny sullenly.

Rosemary lay on the bed and closed her eyes to doze off. When she heard the sound of the car's engine starting and driving out of the garage, she immediately got up.Just kidding, she has seen Aunt Fanny exaggerate countless times. Once, without asking, she broke into Rosemary's room and rummaged around for her "sweater that must have been stolen by an unruly girl." , there was not even an apology afterwards; even after their parents divorced, Lily and Petunia would tell her Aunt Fanny's great achievements from time to time, such as not allowing them to go out with friends, stealing their letters, etc.── She could already imagine that this Christmas holiday would be very difficult, and it might even be difficult to even go out, so she immediately took her wand and wallet and prepared to go to Diagon Alley to buy this year's Christmas presents first.

She picked out a lipstick for Petunia, Lily, Celia, and Mrs. Evans; she bought a tie for Mr. Evans that would tie itself, and the instructions said: "Attention, If the spell fails and it gets tighter, please pull the end of the tie and it will loosen by itself"; found an interesting French wizard novel for Remus at the bookstore; finally found a rare one in Knockturn Alley Potion ingredients to Snape.

Touching the purse that was shriveled after buying a few gifts, Rosemary frowned and thought, she really should find a way to get money, she can't afford to buy a beautiful dress without money, right?

Rosemary first went to the Fengya brand wizard clothing store to have a look. The windows in the store were all polished, and there were all kinds of gorgeous gowns in the window. The witch was wearing a satin robe, and there was even a Hogwarts uniform for sale inside. Rosemary looked at the texture and tailoring of the fabric, and it was the same as what she usually wore, but it was several grades more expensive.

Then she walked to Mrs. Malkin's robe shop where she usually bought wizard robes. There were a few dolls wearing robes in the window, but they were all basic styles. The kraft paper in hand, and a few measuring tapes on the counter are rolling and unwinding automatically.

Rosemary opened the door and walked in, saying hello. "Hello, Madam Malkin."

"It's you! Miss Evans." Mrs. Malkin recognized the person and greeted him gently.It's not that Mrs. Malkin has a great memory, but if there was a little girl who had been arguing with you for almost half an hour about the waistline of her gown being an inch higher, you'd remember her too.

Rosemary thought about it again in her heart, determined what she wanted to say, and told herself not to be nervous, just treat it as another interview!Only then did I say, "That's it, have you considered advertising?"

"Advertising? Are you saying that it will be published in magazines like the Fengya brand wizard clothing? No, that is the behavior of nouveau riche. My robe shop is all custom-made for regular customers, and it is not the same grade as the mass-market ready-made clothes." ..."

"Except for the batch of Hogwarts freshmen in September, you shouldn't have many new customers, right? Don't most students only buy their work robes and school uniforms here?" Rosemary asked , and then continue the conversation. "Mrs. Mojin, your things are obviously so good, but you are suppressed by the Fengya brand wizard clothes, wouldn't you be reconciled?"

Rosemary tried her best to provoke, trying to arouse Madam Malkin's ambition, but Madam Malkin still looked hesitant, she sighed, and gave up such a roundabout way, and went straight to the point. "Mrs. Malkin, the advertisements are not necessarily only published in magazines. The key point is to create an image for your gown shop——exquisite, traditional, and high-end custom shop with a long history. This is the establishment of the image. You You don't want to be thought of as a tailor who only makes school uniforms for little wizards, do you?"

Mrs. Malkin was finally moved, looked at the little girl in front of her with great interest and asked, "So tell me, what should I do?"

How to do?That's what she's good at.Rosemary recalled the several high-end custom-made advertising projects she had filmed, and began to suggest to Mrs. Malkin.Since it is custom-made, there is no need to focus on clothing. The advertisement should emphasize the brand and atmosphere. After the two reached a consensus, they began to start construction.

Mrs. Malkin originally had a photographer who specially cooperated with the catalog shoot. While she was contacting him, Rosemary began to pick out the clothes in the store.It has been a long time since she has done her own clothes, makeup and hair for work. After all, modeling is a job, and the appearance is determined by manufacturers, photographers, and designers. Except for the biggest models, most models are in the fashion industry. The role of the industry is a doll at the mercy of others, without the right to speak.

Only when she first entered the industry, she was asked by some unknown photographers to prepare her own costumes, makeup and hair, but as a model, Rosemary thinks that her level is not bad, at least she does her own makeup and hair. I still like it very much.

She picked out a dark blue wizard robe, with a high waistline and wide hem, and the folds of the robe would swing as she walked; a delicate silver ribbon embroidered with four-leaf clover spread from the neckline It grows to the waist, and under the light, the clover seems to come alive; the sleeves are not as wide as ordinary wizard's robes, but are closed inward, and you have to untie a silver button to take them off.

Putting on her robe, she took a few pins to separate the parts that were too long and the parts that were too wide. She stood in front of the mirror and looked around, making sure she couldn't see it. Then Rosemary nodded and began to straighten her hair.Since there was nothing to use at hand, she had to comb a braid on the side, then twist the braid into a bun, arrange the bangs a little with her hands, and finally put on some mascara and lipstick. The lack of foundation and eye shadow made her feel a little bit Anxious, but there is no way, there is nothing at hand, she has tried her best.

In less than an hour, everything was ready. The photographer brought all kinds of photographic equipment that she had never seen before. Even the camera, which seemed to be the same as a Muggle camera, Rosemary was surprised to find it You can fly around according to the photographer's wishes, completely saving the trouble of setting up a tripod, and after a while, you can take a photo that is satisfactory to all three.

Rosemary accepted the reward for this time—two sets of custom-made school uniforms, put on a long coat and scarf, and was about to leave. Because the shooting was unexpectedly fast, she looked at her shopping bag and thought she could go around first. a place……
