"A Perfect Woman”
Characters: K - Kuri; J - Julita; B - Blessed
~Julita gives Kuri some fashion tips.
J: Kuri, can we have a short talk?
K: Sure, what about?
J: Well, you don’t need to bring your note and pen.
It’s just a casual one, more on girl talk.
K: Sounds interesting.
(Blessed enters)
B: Hey! What’s the fuss?
J: Would you like to join us? It won’t take much time, in a
jiffy, perhaps.
(to Kuri)
I’ve noticed that your make-up somehow needs a little
brushing-up, especially your blusher.
How do you apply it?
K: Well, I just brush it on my face. I’m not scrupulous and
besides, are there any rules?
J: Oui. You should match it on the shape of your face and
contrast it to the shade of your lipstick and eye shadow.
Like now, you’re wearing dark-plum on your lips and eyes.
Then, you should put coral on your cheeks.
I’ve one now.
Stay put. (applies blusher to Kuri)
B: It matches you, Kuri. Talk about ingenuity!
K: (looking at herself in a mirror) Hmm, impressive.
Somehow I feel like a full woman wearing good make-up.
J: As the saying goes, “a little of everything makes a woman
perfect”.
B: Julita, do you still have time? (making a me-too smile)

登場人物:K-クリ、J-ジュリータ、B-ブレセッド
~ジュリータがクリにファッションのヒントを教えている
J : クリ、ちょっと時間ある?
K : ええ、なんですか?
J : ペンとノートは持ってこなくていいわ。かしこまった話じゃなく
て、まあ「女の子の話」だから。
K : 何かおもしろそうですね。
(ブレセッドが入ってくる)
B : ねえ、なんかおもしろそうね。
J : 参加する?そんなにかからないわ。多分ちょっとだけ。
(クリに)
あなたのメークもう少しおしゃれにしたほうがいいわ。特にチー
ク。どうやってるの。
K : えーっと、ただ顔につけているだけ。あんまり気にしてないけど
なにかルールがあるんですか?
J : もちろん!顔の形に合わせて、口紅やアイシャドーとのコントラ
ストも考えてね。今、暗紫色の口紅とシャドーをつけているから
チークはコーラルピンクをつけたほうがいいわ。私持っているか
らつけてみよう。動かないで。(ブラシをクリにあてる)
