[ ben is valid! even allison will admit, after some prodding, that most skincare is kind of gross while it's on your face. but after it comes off, your skin feels so good that it's worth it, at least in her book.
allison laughs a little and shrugs her shoulders. ben has a point! but mess or not, ben seems to have done pretty well for himself here, and allison is proud of him for that. ]
Maybe! But so many people I've met here seem to really like you, so you couldn't have been a mess for that long. Although if you really wanna try the tried and true Allison Hargreeves Method then you could always just read a bunch of magazines and let those teach you a good chunk of the rules of non-family social interaction.
[ so much of allison's early years in movies had been full of her worried she was going to get found out, that she had basically stolen those roles, that she didn't belong. so she did her best to learn to assimilate with the help of the l.a. mag.
when ben says that allison was good (really good!) at acting, her heart almost skips a beat. she's interacted with fans, of course, but that's always so superficial, and there's always so much uncrossable distance between her and them. and it's easy enough for allison to believe that she wasn't really that good, that she had just cheated her way into the industry, and now she was just being cast because she was a moneymaker. but ben says that like he means it, and allison smiles too, although there's just a touch of sadness there. ]
Thanks, Ben.
[ allison laughs -- ben definitely did not get the appeal of dress up, that's for sure! ]
It's never too late to start! I can help you choose colors other than black, if you want.
