deco

Alexia noted that her new room was large....well enough so anyway....her old bedroom was small....this one reminded her of her old bedroom at her grams....big. Also she would be living in an apartment like living space with Miliese. It was actually just a quad of rooms in a house, but it had two bedrooms, a living room and a mini kitchen/bar. It would be private and cozy in her quad. Apparently she had two weeks before the boys arrived and school once again began to get situated. To her that meant wardrobe and interior decorating. Hell, she was female and those things gotta happen when shes living in a new place. Of course Miliese felt the same way.

The third day there the two girls, escorted by Denise McLean ( good p.r. lemme tell ya...Denise was livin with em till the boys arrive) arrived at a home decorating center to make a few purchases.

" So what ya think punk? Shall I go with black or silver? " Alex asked in a mock english accent a'la spice.

Miliese grinned. " Dumbass, you should paint them black , with like silver stars, like you wanted or did your lame self forget?" Mese said.

Alex laughed. " ohhhhh yeaaaah!" Alex said and shook her head. " Anyway....I hafta like get some glowy stars...they are going all over my room. Its too bad that we'll have to leave this place eventually. Still I must make the most. Hey do you think I should paint my ceiling black with more stars? I think I should."

Miliese rolled her eyes. Man her best friend could talk forever. " yeah yeah. You are a piece of work...it took me all of ten minutes to pick out a color for my walls." This color was naturally light blue.

" Well, we're done with paint. So now I want to get some weird accesories. Lets ask Denise about vintage stores"

Three hours after thee shopping spree they arrived back at the apartment. The quad was stripped bare of most accsessories making it easy to paint.

One week after that the rooms were painted. Alex was pleased with how dark the room was at night...and how sparkly the stars were.

" Ok. So today we begin the final deco job. Lets get workin' chicky." Miliese said.

Alexia found it easy to adorn her room. One Tori amos poster, a neat Hole one from the Album cover, one gangster sublime poster and a 2-Pac Shakur poster went up on her wall. Next she placed framed photos on her dark wooded dresser. She wanted to put Bsb posters up...but that was pretty ridiculous since she would be living with them. However she did have the audacity to place to hot posters of 98 Degrees and Nsync on her least visual wall. She concluded her wall ornamentation with her 1999 Backstreet calendar ( she had to put it up...nonetheless). She made sure to space every thing out so as not to clutter her starry wall.

Miliese had chosen a more modest approach. Her walls were adorned with pictures of chubby angels, friends pictures, and posters of a few assorted bands. A large full length mirror also stood in her room.

With one night left before the boys were to appear, the girls were taken shopping. ( **authors note** I know I know! Typical that the story should have vivid descriptions of beautiful perfect homes..but its not all like that anyway! )

Miliese and Alex first stopped at the Express (** what a TRENDY store....god sellouts!**) . Expensive much but nice.

" I think I just need some....velour or shimmery stuff. " Alexia said searching the vast store.

While Miliese opted for black stretchy pants and two v-necks in blue and cream, Alexia had chosen two velour tanks in midnight blue and burgundy.

After searching through Hot Topic, American eagle, Gap, Pacific SunWear and others, Miliese and Alexia had a sizable but not to large wardrobe.
