EMPLOYMENT AMA
Preferred Alias: Mandy

Worst Job(s) Held: Lounge performer at a crappy little dive in New York. I don't mind going home smelling of smoke and booze mind, but when your audience primarily consists of boring straight men, you really should be getting paid far more than I was for the indignity.
Best Job(s) Held: Mistress of Ceremonies at The Sombrero, a drag club in Kensington. It was beautiful. I don't see much of my past with rose tinted glasses these days, but that's one place I'll always remember fondly.
Fantasy Job(s): There was a time when I wanted to be an actress. Even knowing now that that life is certainly not as glamorous as it seems on the outside, I guess I'd still like to at least give it a shot. It would be nice to be in the spotlight all on my own, at least.

Current Job(s): Nothing at present. I still fancy myself a fairly decent seamstress, if anyone's looking to have something repaired or made some place besides that little shop we have at the moment. I worked quite a lot with sequins and other sparkly things in the past, but I used to be very good at working magic with whatever I had at hand.

Ask Me Anything!

Greetings, Mistress Mandy. I am Era.

I may have need of your tailoring skills in the coming weeks.

[smileslie]

Mistress? Well, it's been awhile since I've gotten that one.

Do you have something that needs patched up, or looking for something new entirely?

[astralera]

My apologies if it offended you. I have been told that mistress is not a complimentary title in some other worlds, but it is a difficult habit to break.

My companion is much taller than the average person here and thus is finding some difficulty acquiring appropriate attire. I am not a talented enough weaver to make new clothes from linens in the current popular styles, nor to adjust what he finds to his size.

I am a capable leatherworker and goldsmith, if you were interesting in a trade of services. I can make footwear and jewelry of fairly high quality.

[ she will contact all the seamstresses and tailors in order to keep her handsome noble friend properly fitted!!! ]

[smileslie]

Oh, far from it darling. I actually find it rather amusing, for personal reasons.

Well, depending on exactly how much taller than average your companion is, it might be a challenge but probably not too difficult. I generally helped very tall, lanky men look fabulous.

I don't have much need for jewelry these days, but I might just take you up on the footwear.

[astralera]

I am relieved to hear it.

He is 6'8". It is the average height for an Elezen man, however it is much taller than the average human. Will that prove too difficult?

Feel free to contact me with your request at any time. I enjoy crafting things for people when I am able, and would be happy to make footwear for you regardless of any payment.

[smileslie]

Well, while the men I dressed were usually a fair bit shorter than that, I also had to factor in that they'd often be wearing shoes that would add a good five inches to their height. So, no, I wouldn't expect it would be too much of a challenge.

Sure thing luv, I'm glad to help.

[astralera]

Men in five ilm heels? I find it difficult enough to walk with two. That is very impressive.

I shall contact him and let him know to get in touch with you, if that is all right.

[smileslie]

That it was. I wore the same kind quite often. It takes practice, but after awhile you get so used to them that you're more likely to fall over wearing flats.

Of course. I'm glad to help.

My thanks, Mistriss Mandy.
