Chisel away here and cut a little back there. Apply some paint and then layer it on again. Twist and shape a form and the mass, tuck it into a girdle, but it just won't last. Find the right pair of shoes not too high and not too loose. Something perhaps with open toes, or a Cuban heel you might suppose. Place the girls in a push-up bra and all of a sudden you become a star. Part your hair to the left, no now it's to the right. Not one strand can be out of place, not if you want to look good tonight. Obtaining beauty is a art, a skill that is crafted as a whole and in part. People spend a lifetime learning this trade, for a few moments of beauty it can be sad.
