High Fashion

Greed over money!

     Monica Larsen was one of the riches girls in HollyWood.  She had enough green dough to live a life of luxury.  She lived with her parents in a 2 story house on the outskirts of HollyWood.  She wore designer clothes and drove an expensive car, nothing but the best for Monica Larsen.  She is a snob and knows it. 

     She pulled up in front of her favorite Boutique Joy B.  She needed a cocktail dress for an up coming party.  She slid her Gucci shades to top of her head.  People were already staring with green envy faces.  A store clerk headed toward her the moment she entered the door.  They knew what she was worth and was always ready to do serious sucking up.  Monica loved the attention.

     "How may I help you Miss?" The clerk asked in a polite, business matter.

     Monica turned and faced the sales clerk with distaste.  Her appearance appalled her.  "Where is Lilly?" Monica asked. 

     "Lilly is on break," the clerk said. Whose name is Susan.

     "Look whoever you are I expect to be waited on by someone with class."

     Susan squared her shoulders and cleared her throat.  "As you wish," she said between clinched teeth.

     She did not have to wait long before Lilly came from the break room.  "Monic darling, how are you?"

     "Fabulous now that you're here," Monica giggled.  "I need a cocktail dress.

     Lilly helped her find a beautiful mint greensleeveless dress that brought out her eyes.   It also blended well with her cream colored skin.  She found pale green CutesyGirl shoes that went best with her dress.  She also bought a david Yurman rope metal design ring with a stunning olive green diamond with matching earrings.  Green beaded bracelet she just could not resist was her final purchase.  Why should she resist anything?  She could afford what ever she wanted.

     Monica had spent 4000$ in one day.  She could just hear her father now.  "Young lady, I did not raise you to waste money," he would say gruffly. "You need to be more responsible," he would continue.  She did not care about  responsibility.

     She loved her life.  There was people out there that would love to live in her shoes.  She saw their sickly green faces every day.  Green was her favorite color, especially the green color of money.  God she loved being filthy rich.  Monica pulled up in the driveway.  She could smell the freshly cut green grass as it drifted in the summer breeze.

     Monica left her purchases in the car and went in search for Carl their butler.  "Carl!" She yelled as she walked in the front door.

     "Young lady, come into my office," Greg Larsen her father ordered. 

     Monica braced herself for the lecture.  "Yes daddy?"

     Doreen Larsen her mother stood behind her husband.  "I suppose you have been spending my money like crazy again?" He asked in a harsh tone.  "Well today is the end of that!" He bellowed.

     Apprehension settled in Monica's stomach.  She had the distinct feeling her life was about to take a drastic change for the worse.

What a brat! lol.
The ending was like a wrecking ball to the chest.

High Fashion, Monica ,sounds like you are going to get your cumuppance and serve you right, you might look nice on the outside but on the inside your auric dress is so shabby, part two, let her allowances be stopped, and make her work with the homeless people, and fall in love with a pauper, a great read and a lesson for all Monica types, go shop in the charity shops, and get a grip on real life, Moonbeam likes this story,.

[Poetic Beauty]

The ending is great. I don't like snobbish people who think they are better than other simply because they have hordes of money. You did well using the color green and it represented you main character well.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Cool story. I'd like to see a part 2 where she looses everything and learns her lesson. And becomes someone a little nicer. I enjoyed reading this.

[Tina Kline]

Great story. I'd love it if there was more so we'd know for sure what happened to Monica.

[Dream Weaver]
