MJ Imagines *CURRENTLY NOT TAKING REQUESTS*

~I hope you guys like this! I saw the interview with Michael Bush and couldn't resist. This is a little different than my usual imagines so tell me what you think! Feel free to give feedback on what you think about any of my imagines!~

I loved clothes.

The ability they had to change a person. Not only a person's looks, but also how the person felt.

They could make you feel sexy, cute, comfortable, or even dangerous. It's a fact that the nicer we dress, the more confident we feel.

So I decided to become a personal dresser for celebrities. They gifted me the opportunity to buy them clothes that made statements. I had full creative control, they gave me ideas but I got to make those ideas come to life.

I started out with only a few gigs here and there. Normally short film work that rarely made it to print. But I got a call from a friend of mine that her boss needed someone to sew costumes for a big short film that would be going up.

I was about to lose my small apartment in LA and so I immediately took her up on her offer.

A few days later, I was driving down to a soundstage in Culver City, California.

~1985~

I pulled into the large production lot and parked. I took a deep breath as I got out of my car. I threw my bag over my shoulder and tugged on my sweater slightly in anxiousness. 

My friend, Elizabeth Rabe, who got me this job, hadn't informed me of where I was supposed to go when I entered the lot. Thanks a lot Liz.

I scanned the lot for a sign of some sort to direct me, to no avail, but I soon spotted a few people talking. There were two girls dressed in leotards with leg warmers and spandex standing next to two men who wore muscle shirts.

       "Dancers?" I immediately thought to myself.

I pulled my bag tighter over my shoulder and began to walk towards them. They didn't notice me approaching them at first but then one of the girls spotted me.

She wore a black leotard and had permed brunette locks. She looked me up and down with a raised eyebrow. I stiffened awkwardly but continued towards them.

       "Um...excuse me?" I asked nervously. The group of them turned towards me with curious smiles.

       "Need help with anything love?" One of the men asked politely. I nodded with a slight blush.

       "I...um was wondering if you could direct me towards the Captain EO set please?" I asked shyly. The brunette dancer looked to me and scoffed.

"Why do you need to be there?" She sneered at me. I felt nervousness rise in me at her tone. My heart pounded faster and faster in my chest.

       "I'm sewing costumes for film," I squeaked out. I felt my ears burn as I looked to them.

       "Oh! That's great. She must have been the one Steven was looking for earlier," The second girl, who wore a pink leotard and had similar permed locks, spoke up suddenly. She gave me a reassuring smile.

       "The set's right through there," She spoke kindly as she motioned towards the door a few feet away from us. "Steven should be the one in there who is frantically running around with clothes in his arms." She joked. I let out a shy laugh and thanked her.
