Gimbo Glossed by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

After Alexa has an argument with her college daughter, a goth girl named Annie, she is determined to get back in her life. And if that means getting a makeover to prove even she can be dark and edgy she will do exactly that.<\/p>\n

In a part of town she usually avoids, Alexa finds a place called SlutTOPIC that caters to a certain kind of look, featuring Gimbo makeup, hair treatments, facial cleansing, clothing, and more.<\/p>\n

Alexa will discover Gimbo is more than a product name, more than a lifestyle… it’s a truly transformational descent into a dark dominant side of herself she never knew existed, and soon won’t be able to get enough of… but what will her daughter think of that?<\/p>\n

The Gloss Returns!<\/p>\n

The arguments are nothing new, Annie always insisting that while she lives at home, she is college age, no longer her overly doting mother’s little doll. <\/p>\n

She’s tired of her mother seeing the world through different eyes, Annie’s style having drastically changed as she grew up… a dark outlook, dark attitude, and dark style that shows through every black outfit Annie wears, the dark eye makeup, the goth girl life that helps Annie deal with what she sees as an often dark world.<\/p>\n

But most of all, on this particular day, Annie is berating her mother about letting everyone just run all over her. As she puts it, the name Alexa is very fitting for her mother, since everyone tells her what to do and she does it.<\/p>\n

And while Alexa frowns and tries to say how her daughter is not being the nice little girl she raised her to be, Annie is stomping off in her black boots out the door, telling her mother in no uncertain terms, “tough shit, the world turned her dark and edgy, and there isn’t a dark or edgy bone in her mother’s body.”<\/p>\n

Yet after Annie storms off, Alexa isn’t merely sitting with her thoughts, not this time, not after what Annie said. This time Alexa is realizing how tough and independent her daughter is, a beautiful girl with the same pale complexion she has. But unlike Annie, Alexa has always been perky, happy, a people pleaser, possibly thanks to her red hair and happy smiles she always remembered from an early age.<\/p>\n

She realizes there is only one way to get back in Annie’s life, to relate to her daughter and once again get along like they used to. Alexa is going to go out there and take a chance, get a makeover, and if she has to go dark and edgy with her looks to get back into Annie’s life, she’s going to do just that. Only this sweet mother has absolutely no idea just how dark and edgy her look is about to get.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later finds Alexa driving down the street from their home on the very edge of the city. She’s in a part of town she usually avoids, not because it’s necessarily unsafe but because it has old buildings and dark alleys with motorcycles and guys in spiked collars and all black leather drinking beers. It’s a seedy part of town, but everyone seems to have the look her daughter has, and that is the look Alexa is determined to find, even when she sees the name of the business that quite possibly offers exactly what she is looking for.<\/p>\n

SlutTOPIC is the business, and even as Alexa says the name, she feels unsure. The name reminds her of a place her daughter began hanging out years ago at the mall, but clearly this place is not meant for teens. The signs in the window though makes it clear it is the place for her after this last argument with her daughter. The signs read Total Makeover and Exclusive Clothing Line, Tattoos and Piercings.<\/p>\n

Ignoring the bikers glancing her way, probably laughing about the old-fashioned vintage dress Alexa has on, she soon walks through the doors into a place called SlutTOPIC, and that is when Alexa is instantly greeted by a woman acting more like a little girl, ditzy but dark and sexual, a woman named Jewel who is soon telling Alexa all about something which immediately confuses the conservative mother… Gimbo Gloss.<\/p>\n

It seems Gimbo Gloss was one of the leading products years back, and this small boutique expanded in the years that followed, busting out walls between the clothing store next door, partnering with the guys who owned it, creating SlutTOPIC, and expanding the line of products with Gimbo in the name.<\/p>\n

These days, Gimbo Gloss is more than just a lip gloss, it’s an entire makeup line, clothing line, and more, and as Jewel tells Alexa in her simple perky way, this week they are having a Gimbo special, all forms of payment accepted of course.<\/p>\n

After discussing the situation, even if Alexa still has no idea what Gimbo really is, other than apparently a name on all the products in the store, Jewel is soon assuring the concerned mother that everyone, goth, punk, emo… they all love a Gimbo girl, so if Alexa wants to get a makeover and get along better with Annie, that’s the look to go for.<\/p>\n

But will Alexa have any idea what changing her looks can do to her mind, and will way more than her looks end up changing? There’s Jewel to handle Alexa’s face and nails, Ronny in the back to come take care of Alexa’s hair, and Gabe will handle the clothing, a whole new line of Gimbo clothing guaranteed to turn her on to a whole new look, in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

As the cleansing towel cleans her pores, will Alexa’s mind be getting dirtier? As the makeup and lips gives her the new Gimbo haze look around the eyes, will the haze in her head clear into all new dominant desires? And as Ronny adds some darker streaks to the natural red of her hair, as Gabe dresses her in a bold sleeveless synthetic vinyl zip-up top and black leather mini-skirt, will Alexa go from mom to Mistress, an all new dominating dark twist to the Gimbo girl classic?<\/p>\n

Get ready for makeup, clothing, and more action than you can handle this month, as it all begins with a sweet wholesome mother getting good and Gimbo Glossed, only to go home a bad boss bitch like never before.<\/p>\n
