I look into the shops after school. I buy some red nail-polish to paint my dolls' lips. It lasts longer than lipstick, you see, and gives them a nice glossy touch that I love. I also use it to mend the little holes in my red dancing tights. I wear them out quite easily, but the holes disappear as they gulp down the thick, dense liquid. I go into glove shops trying to imagine people I know wearing them. This mutilated condition helps my thinking sometimes…you know. Winter is never too harsh over here so we don't really get to wear gloves a lot. I like the ones with open fingers, though; these are the ones I wear for school, but only when it is really windy.
