Another story idea

Gilly is 25, only 5ft 0ins tall, and generally has quite a petite body.

Gilly is an actress, and because of how she looks, she often gets roles where she plays a teenage girl. Whilst she'd like to play more adult roles, she wasn't stupid enough to turn down work opportunities, so she plays teenage roles.

She has just got a new role, in a brand new twice-weekly 'soap', playing a 16 year old girl. It seems, that because of the way the script is written, she needs to have some sort of braces, and also wear glasses.

In terms of the braces, she has a few choices:
- get real brackets
- get fake brackets
- get hawley retainers (might want to get 2 pairs, just in case...)

For the glasses, she can clearly have fake plain lenses, but the question then is how credible they are on a 'real world soap'. Just to make it more interesting, it seems that Gilly has a bit of a 'thing' for glasses, so I bet she is going to suggest that she gets contacts, matched with some reasonably strong glasses. I'm sure she'll need to get several different pairs, so the program's producer can choose which they prefer!

In both cases, because of the fact that it's for an acting role, she'll be able to openly go to an ortho and an optician, and get what she needs.


Whilst I'd love to write this story, I'm not going to have time, so I'm hoping that the idea inspires someone else. This is NOT a writing challenge, so make it as short or long as you like!
