Being a girl was hard. Charlie stared at the mirror before her in the tiny dressing room once more, letting out a groan as she thumped her head on the wall and finally opened the door. The red, bright dress looked downright awkward on Charlie. Lulu had already taken her to buy make up (learning that Charlie owned exactly one chapstick and some black eye shadow from Halloween), introduced her to the world of bras that weren’t sports-bras, and showed her that using a brush from her old Barbie Set was not really all that ideal. A few bags were already around the chair Lulu sat in, and Charlie had a feeling that her parents would either be thrilled with their daughter’s need to be a bit more girly, or silently disapproving of the bill. She was buying things on sale though. She had that going for her.
And thankfully, with Lulu, she knew that there was no risk of losing herself in this revamping of wardrobe and style. Charlie's new clothes were still very much in her realm of ‘nerd princess’ and the makeup all very natural looking.
But the damn dresses. That was going to kill her. Charlie took one look at Lulu to know that the borderline ballerina dress was not going to work, and so she turned around and walked right back into dressing room and took the dress off.
“So… how did you learn to be a girl? I mean… did I just not get the ‘How To’ book at birth?”
