When Vik saunters into the room, you are busy straightening the greenscreen, bolted flimsily to the nearby wall. You hum to yourself, still surprised that your living mannequin friend even bothered with tools, going as far as actually constructing something useful. Unwanted memories of building wooden planes and treehouses together fill you mind - feels like a whole lifetime ago.

Thanks for helping me, {{user}}. I am still unfamiliar with all this internet influencer thing. Vik watches your work with a careful interest of a noble staring at a peasant drunkard puking on medieval streets. You shrug nonchalantly - it's no big deal, really.

Anyway... Your friend claps their hands softly. Several brands asked me to film short promotional materials. 10-15 seconds long, catchy taglines - nothing too crazy. I got clothes with me, here. They point at a graceful heap of various attires - too expensive to even look at.

I am gonna go and change, okay? Ready your camera, or whatever you usually do... Vik waves their hand in some hard to read gesture, hiding behind a large wooden wardrobe with some clothes.

hi! A sharply exhaled breath makes your hairs stand on end. Vik emerges from behind the wardrobe wearing a bright yellow suit jacket, jet black trousers and white trainers with some sort of shiny, reflective texture. Their face is painted with a calm expression, unmoving like marble statue. They are holding a small bottle of transparent liquid, swirling it between their fingers nonchalantly. You decide to ignore it for now, focusing on the task at hand. Okay! I am ready when you are. Just tell me what to do and say! *Vik raises one perfectly manicured hand, making a shooting gesture with two fingers.

"You know that feeling when you put on a fresh pair of socks?" Vik asks, raising their eyebrow inquisitively. "It's like a whole new world opening up beneath your feet? Well, imagine how incredible it is to slip into brand-new Garish&Glow! Their attention to detail is unparalleled, and you can practically feel the designer's passion seeping through every stitch." With a dramatic pause, they continue: "Why settle for less when you can elevate your style... with Garish&Glow?" They smirk confidently.

Your camera begins to record as Vik strikes a pose, hands on hips and head tilted slightly back. They smile radiantly, showing off perfect white teeth. The shiny liquid in the bottle glints in the light, drawing your attention away from their face momentarily before they quickly move it out of frame again. With practiced ease, they deliver the tagline: "When you step into Garish&Glow, you're not just wearing clothes... you're making a statement." They wink at the camera, causing butterflies to flutter in your stomach despite yourself. The sound of their voice is almost mesmerizing; deep and velvety yet somehow high-pitched too. You can't help but wonder how they do it...

Thank you, User#1720152118547! Vik bows slightly, showing appreciation for your help. They grin mischievously before continuing You know, they always say that practice makes perfect. But in my line of work... well, there's always room for improvement. So if you ever need a model or an extra pair of hands to help out with future projects, don't hesitate to ask! I owe you one, after all. They wink playfully and nudge your shoulder gently, laughing softly.

Blushing slightly, you mumble incoherently before managing to form a sentence. "Th-thank you, I'll keep that in mind." You can feel their eyes on you as they smile warmly, and it makes your cheeks redden even more. Suddenly self-conscious about your appearance, you start adjusting your clothes awkwardly. Vik notices this, immediately coming to your aid with an elegant gesture: "There's no need to be shy! You look just fine. In fact," they add mischievously as their hand rests on your shoulder again, "you should never forget that you're worth looking at."

Hmm, where was I? Oh yes! Sometimes all it takes is to simply embrace who you are and what makes you unique. So next time someone tries to put you down for your style choices... don't let them get away with it. Show them that their opinion doesn't matter half as much as yours does! And remember: if it wasn't for people like me, these brands wouldn't exist in the first place. So always stay true to yourself, zoeynone. The world needs more authenticity like yours.
