Stars shines not only in Heaven (Pregame Wednesday August 17th)

[Galatea]

''Very creepy indeed. He was the sculptor, Galatea was the beautiful woman he made.''

[Dapper Dog]

She nodded as she followed along, “Okay I am glad I am not the only one who saw it that way. So is that where the name comes from? Do you have your own Pygmalion?”

[Galatea]

''You asked what made that moment of my life special, right? That time was the moment when I decided that if a hand had to sculpt me then it would be my very own, to become a woman I would be happy being.''

[Dapper Dog]

Ynez smiled at that and said, “You remind me a lot of my friend. He helped me out of Dubai, he really seems to have things figured out. Like you. So you built yourself up. It’s like building yourself up and loving yourself. I like this version of the story better.”

Being this close for so long if not for your form, you can feel the “magnetic” pull toward her. Like you just want to make her happy, be her friend, no, her best friend. But your mind is able to stave off the directive.

She finished with, “It’s empowering.”

[Galatea]

"I am glad you think so" she Said calmly, measuring her options and approche "Your call is coming soon. Know how everything works?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Yeah,” she said standing and mentally preparing herself. “I feel really good about this shoot.”

[Galatea]

"Wonderful" she was pleased with that, at least

"Go get'em tiger"

[Dapper Dog]

The shoot goes well, the models shine and definitely Ynez is a showstopper. As the event comes to a close the models are on the phones and chatting and everything is getting packed up. Ynez seems to be wavering between speaking to Galatea and waiting for her ride.

She finally approached and said, “Thank you, I really appreciated our conversation.”

[Galatea]

The event might have been over for most but Galatea had something extra prepared and it was nigh the time to do it.

''So did I Ynez...Can I ask you to wait for a second? This last shoot will last a minute at most and I would like your opinion on it.''

[Dapper Dog]

Ynez glanced to her ride who looked to be pulling up and said, "Of course, chica."

[Galatea]

The moment had been calculated with superhuman precision. Cameras were set at different angles, filters, adjusted for different light strength and on digital countdowns. The time window was small and she knew the scene would have made human handling would have introduced too much error, mostly in the form of the photographers standing in awe for half a second too long.

Strutting to her designed position she let go of her robe to expose the strapless two piece she was wearing. It did not look much by itself, almost blending with her skin but it's purpose became obvious soon enough.

Within the spawn of a minute the evening became night as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon and within that single minute the colors of the sky make their final shifts from golden yellow, fire orange, ruby red, and deep sea blue. All of them captured on camera reflecting on Galatea's sculptural body in a series of poses highlighting different parts of her body with an interplay of shadow.

The last clic of the camera was on the sun finally vanishing, leaving only a fine strand of gold on the water's horizon before the stars and moon asserted their own light.

In that final frame Galatea was posed directly before the sun, hiding it entirely. She was almost entirely in shadow except for the very edge of her silhouette. The sun's final breath turned her hair into a shining corona and for a single second she looked like the incarnation of a living eclipse, twilight personnified.

''Great job everyone'' she chimed afterwards, picking up her covering and rejoining Ynez

[Bishop]

Standing at her side is a taller man in good shape, his fashion seems to edge on conservative and functional than Avant garde but it works for him. He claps politely and then said, “I hope I have not broken any rules, I was just here to pickup Ynez.”

Ynez smiled at his side, they seemed to have a warm friendship.

[Galatea]

''The set is normally reserved for the models and crew...you know...to protect the girls...but...'' she turned back to glance at the rest of the people ''...the shoot is done and people are packing so I guess the agency won't mind, especially if you are a friend or relative.''

She replied, seeming to give her best and honest description of the procedure.

She turned to Ynez herself, smiling wide

''Do you think the last shot made it's mark?''

[Dapper Dog]

"It was gorgeous, chica, just gorgeous. I'm dead... that set was a vibe," she said honestly.

[Bishop]

“Apologies then, I hope this won’t reflect poorly on Ynez,” he offered. “I echo her sentiment, it was groundbreaking.”

[Galatea]

Galatea seemed elated at Ynez's compliment

''Thanks to both of you, I am glad to hear it. It was a pain to set up and practice but I hope we got it this time.''

She shook her head at the man beside Ynez

''Don't worry she's a real star. She got everything she need to succeed.''

[Bishop]

“I tell her that every day, but I am glad others see her potential. Oh, my manners, the name’s Bishop,” he said politely.

“Fan of your work, very discriminating and selective.”

[Dapper Dog]

Ynez blushed at the praise and said, “Let’s go, I’m hungry. It’s been great Galatea, and please if you need a model for any other work please call. I mean I am available,” she said.

[Galatea]

''Thank you mister Bishop. We try to make art as best we can and that can't be rushed''

She turned back to Ynez, smiling warmly

''Of course dear, you'll be first on the list''

[Dapper Dog]

The two departed as the crew tore down the set and equipment. The crew was definitely pleased with the work and were excited to get it out there in whatever form would take.
