ariana for vogue's 'beauty secrets' (2023)

angelica took her hand, standing up and brushing whatever debris was on her clothes. "i'm fine, i'm used to it. i'm a klutz. i fall at least once a day," she said before sighing as she looked at her shoe. "poor lou, though. three hours out of the box and she already looks like she had a rough night out," she said.

time off was a RARITY in rosalind’s life, which meant everytime it came her way, the redhead always tried to savour every moment, to never take it for granted because who would know when her next moment of respite would be? being an actress meant an unpredictable schedule, there were times she could have a few weeks off, and other times she could be working for six months straight without a moment to come up for air. either way, it kept her on her toes, that was for sure.

with a freshly made cup of macchiato in hand, the redhead strut through the ever bustling streets of new york city, expertly weaving her way through the crowds like the born and bred new yorker she was… until the sight of a stranger tumbling into the sidewalk with a broken heel in tow.

“it happens to the best of us. come here.” she offered as she approached the young brunette, a sympathetic smile curving at her lips as she held out a delicate hand for her. “LOUBOUTINS aside, are you okay, sweetheart?” even though they were strangers, ros was concerned. perhaps it was her material instincts, perhaps it was her empathetic nature. who knew.

"guess who just fucked shit uuup," angelica said in a singsongy voice. "hi, it's me, i'm the problem. probably gonna get fired, but if my boss was pleasing her husband, he wouldn't have come to meee."

"yanno what i don't get? girls who are so insecure, they think you're tryna steal their man just because you accidentally made eye contact with him and smiled at him so it wasn't awkward," she said, pulling her cigarettes out of her bra. "like, it was still awkward so fuck me, but fuck her for smacking me like a little bitch."

"maybe. he just got these for me, daddy's gonna throw a fit, cut the credit card off for a week... not that it's not deserved," she said, taking the woman's hand and standing up, brushing whatever debris was now on her jeans. "thank you. you're not a native new yorker, are you?" angelica asked, taking her unharmed shoe off and shoving it and the broken one in her purse.

the sound of a snapped heel was all it took for maggie to finally look up from her phone. after what seemed like hours spent on a park bench doing absolutely fuck-all, seeing someone talking to themselves after taking a fall was as exciting as watching paint dry. she let out a wince, but figured that someone else would lend a hand. weren't people from new york known for their generosity, after all? passerbys barely spared a glance at the woman sprawled out on the ground and, after a moment, maggie wondered why the hell no one was bothering to help. with a sigh, she got up from her seat and fetched the other woman's phone. "look on the bright side. at least now you can get a new pair," maggie said, reaching a hand out.

it was embarrassing, sure - but more embarrassing things had happened before, and who hasn't taken a tumble in public before? a sigh escaped her lips as she nodded at the other's question. "yeahhh, i'm fine. just my pride that was bruised. and possibly my knees, but that doesn't usually bother me much," she said, pausing. "...i didn't mean for that to sound the way it sounded, i'm just always on my knees... not that that sounded any better." shut up, angelica.

the early afternoon sun peered down from above, her eyes heavy with fatigue, but her shift was over and now she craved curling up in her bed, sleeping long before she should. normally, in the busy state of the city, roxanne wouldn't really be paying much attention to those passing her by, but she also wasn't someone to notice a fallen body. ❛ good heavens ! ❜ thick accent passing lips as she moved to crouch by the woman. ❛ are you alright ? ❜

she grinned a little as she watched him before taking a sip of her drink. "i didn't see nothin', i'm not wearing my glasses," she said. did she condone stealing? no. but it wouldn't be her to get in trouble if he got caught. she wasn't the one doing it. "your first mistake is miller lite, the fuck is wrong with you? you come to a bar just to drink something you can buy at the dollar general?"

location: any $ to $$ bar open: currently no cap

“I would appreciate it,” Dutch spoke lowly, casting a half-glance to his side, towards the person occupying the barstool beside him, “if you didn’t say nothing.” A bottle sat in his grasp, freshly retrieved from the other side of the bar with a stealthy snatch. He’d waited, waited, waited until the bartender was far enough away before twisting the cap off, the faint hiss of an opened bottle snuffed beneath his palm. “Hell, I’ll tip, but five-fifty for a Miller Lite? No.“

location: a park status: open

had angelica been paying attention, she would have seen the crack in the sidewalk - but, she was looking at her phone as she walked because she got distracted by a picture of a cute dog. she wasn't brought back to reality until the heel of her shoe got stuck in the crack and snapped, which sent her to the ground on her knees, her phone thankfully landing in the grass. tossing her purse on the grass, she let out an exasperated huff of air, unwedging the heel of her shoe out of the crack. "oh nooo, not the red bottoms," she said. "that's what you get for not wearing your flats, you dummy," angel said, not giving a care in the world if she looked insane talking to herself.

favorite movie soundtrack?

"it's a tie between mamma mia 2 and little shop of horrors. i grew up on abba's music, so i've always been drawn to it. i've also always been a musical nerd, so little shop has been one of my favorite plays in the world. i don't have any non-musical movie soundtracks that i listen to though."

"oh, easy. scout finch, luna lovegood, and galinda upland."

"okay, don't laugh. but i'm a master at making silly voices during bedtime stories. or in general. i make stupid voices all the time and it's the one thing that gets lizard laughing again after she's been down in the dumps. my favorite sound in the world is her laugh, so the silly voices are important to me to keep up as long as possible."

tarot — temperance.

bookish — rowling.

get to know me — have you ever gotten in trouble with the law?

temperance: can you describe a strange dream you’ve had?

"i was probably about twelve or so, and it was such a weird dream it's the only one i've ever remembered. i was having dinner with the cheshire cat and alice interrupted and we got into a huge fight, and the mad hatter told me i should be nice to guests, but i was like "she wasn't even invited, she's not a guest" and he said "well she's here now so she's a guest, be nice to her" and i said "you weren't even invited, get fucked" and then i woke up and i remember being mad because i didn't get to finish eating and i woke up hungry and grumpy."

rowling: favorite message from a book?

"it's a tie between "you're just as sane as i am" and "my mom always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect". i still don't know why they're so important to me, but i've always related to luna lovegood in a peculiar way that i can't describe."

have you ever gotten in trouble with the law?

"i snuck into a cemetery when i was thirteen with a group of friends. we did a séance type thing because we saw the girls do it in 'now and then'. i tripped over my own feet, fell into a tombstone and knocked it down. we all got in trouble for trespassing, but i got in trouble for defacing property. that was the biggest thing i got in trouble for, but i was a chaotic child and had many run-ins with the police. the cemetery thing was the only thing that they actually charged me with though."
