Lisa was surprised at how little effect her appearance had had on her day today life, most of her friends had accepted her new looks after she had explained the makeover as something she had always wanted to try out. She only told her closest friend the real financial reason for the makeover. with the money she had made she was able to spend a lot more time concentrating on her university studies. It was true she hadn't seen her parents yet but she had told them she had had a bit of a makeover but it didn't mean she was a different person. They had been curious and slightly concerned so she had promised to email them a few photos. After a month she had been back to the makeover bazaar to be signed off for the additional payment, they needed to see that she had maintained the new style as agreed, which she had. As part of the sign off process she was given the option of a free haircut and color, which Lisa gratefully took up. Her hair was still several distinct lengths, the shaven parts had only had a weeks growth since the last touch up shave she had received and so was only a one or two mm in length. However the growing out color was starting to leave quite noticeable roots. Lisa had been puzzling over what to do with her hair and after talking it through with terry they decided an undercut bob with the longer hair colored back to Lisa's natural blond would be neat and tidy but if she styled it to reveal the undercut it could still have a funky edge to it. The cut went quickly with the undercut section including all of the short hair that made up the sides of the tri hawk. This hair was shaved very short with clippers leaving just fine stubble. The color took more time, removing the dark purple was a struggle but eventually Lisa was left with a sleek very bright blond bob. On Terry's suggestion the short hair underneath had been colored dark brown. The blond wasn't exactly what Lisa had in mind being significantly brighter than her natural color, in fact it was significantly brighter than any natural color but as an antidote to the Goth look it was perfect. Overall she was thrilled with the style, it was sophisticated and professional and covered her ears, which had been another of her considerations. Apart from the tattoos on he wrist and chest, which she could hide if required their was no outward sign of the Goth phase she had been forced to go through.
Before she left terry asked her if she'd be interested in the next modeling session which was booked to take place in two months time. Lisa had been thinking about this a lot, some of the physical changes were dramatic but she had come to realize that it didn't change the person inside and, as today showed she could always tone her appearance down afterwards. It was with this thought in mind that she once again signed up.
For the next two months everything returned to normal for Lisa, her friends were impressed with her new look and she sent pictures of her hair to her folks who were shocked but agreed it looked nice. She didn't let on about the piercings or tattoos though; she wanted to see them face to face to explain that. The only other thing of any note was when she saw Debbie on the cover of a glossy women's magazine, at first she hadn't realized it was Debbie the headline had caught her eye, Leopard lady marries childhood sweetheart. She had been looking at the extraordinary figure on the cover of the magazine for a few moments before she realized it was Debbie. She brought the mag a read the article in amazement.
It was a few weeks before the next makeover session that the instructions arrived in the post. With lightly trembling hands Lisa opened the envelope and pulled out a couple of A4 sheets, one a copy of the waiver Lisa had already signed the other the instructions and theme for the event. It seemed the makeover bazaar had been approached following the publicity Debbie had generated by a leading fashion house that specialized in exotic skins and furs. The theme of the shoot was the menagerie and the girls would be made up to resemble animals and filmed in a disused part of the local zoo.
The day arrived and Lisa made her way to the shop, she had warned her friends that she would possibly miss a few days lectures to give her time to get used to her new looks. After last time she felt she was ready for anything but knew it could still be quite shocking and could take a little getting used to. As she went in the fist thing she saw was an amazing figure talking to terry, dressed in a parker and with her back to the door Lisa had entered through what made the figure amazing was the heavily tattooed bald head poking out of the top of the coat. Debbie? Lisa said and the figure spun around, "Hi!"
Debbie replied "wow look at you, you look fantastic!"
"Umm so do you....?" Lisa ventured.
Debbie smiled, "its ok" she said "I've gotten used to it."
Just then the door opened again and a girl of about Lisa's age came in. It was obvious she was trying not to look at Debbie. "Umm is this the right place for the makeover session" she said?
"It is" terry said to her, "Gail isn't it?"
The girl nodded, "Hi" said Lisa and introduced herself, "I'm Lisa and this is Debbie. Is this your first time?"
"Yes" Gail replied "you're the girl from the newspapers aren't you?" she said to Debbie
Debbie smiled and said nodded "you're so brave" Gail told her "I don't know if I could ever do anything that wild!"
After chatting for a few more minuets Terry ushered them all into the salon to start the proceedings. Lisa's first stop this time was the piercing chair. "No Tattoos for you today" Sue told her, which pleased Lisa no end. "Just a few piercings and new hair." Sue set to work first injecting the local anesthetic in Lisa's ear and around her mouth and nose. Lisa was surprised she hadn't had a nose piercing last time but it looked like she wouldn't be spared today.
Sue lay Lisa back and began getting her piercing tools ready, just give that ten min's to work she said. Got some interesting piercings going in today. I'll make the holes this morning but I wont fit the final jewelry until this afternoon as it will make eating a bit awkward. Have they told you what you are being made over into?
No Lisa said with a slight slur from the anesthetic.
well it says here you are going to be a pony girl, which should be cool.
ummm OK said Lisa, not really certain what that would entail.
Right that should be nice and numb now, sue said, lets lie you back and get started. Ears first I think. For the next ten min's or so sue pulled and poked at Lisa's ear, occasionally she would check the other ear until eventually she announced she was done. There you go she said, ears all finished and both sides now identical. Ok Lisa slurred, at least she new what to expect when she looked in the mirror later, I guess that's not too bad she thought to herself, at least I can hide them under my hair.
Now lets start on the rest. This is a little more involved. Sue busied herself at the tray of instruments next to Lisa and then using a marker pen put a dot on each cheek, she stood back to check they were even and then placed two spots on either side of Lisa's nose. Lisa was surprised at how high up these seemed to be. She then took a large hollow needle and proceeded to push it through Lisa's cheek, even with the anesthetic she could feel the skin stretch and pop as the tube went through. Sue replaced this with a fat barbell and then started to do the same on the other side, as she was preparing the needle for the second hole Lisa was experimentally probing the first huge bar with her tongue. Soon she sported a pair of large gauge cheek piercings. Those are very impressive sue told her. That's the biggest cheek piercing I've ever seen done. Now this last one is going to take a bit of brute force, it shouldn't hurt but you will need to brace yourself as its going through some quite thick cartilage. With that she took a long hollow needle and positioned it on one of the marked spots on Lisa's nose. She began to push, it went through the outer skin easily but Lisa could feel her straining as it was forced through the inner layer and into the cavity before cutting thorough high up in her septum then out through the final layer of skin. Despite the strength of the anesthetic Lisa's eyes were watering by the time she had finished. Sue left Lisa for a few moments to regain her composure then helped her too her feet. Her nose felt very warm and she could see why when she looked in the mirror. The lip rings she had received with her last makeover were now joined by two thick bars through her cheeks. She estimated the diameter of the bar to be a good 8mm with the balls on the end being well over 1cm across. As she moved her mouth she could feel the weight of metal in her cheeks moving. On top of this she now had a bar running all the way through her nose from one side to the other. The balls were tight to the sides of her nose and some way above her nostrils, and while they were smaller than the cheek piercings they were still significantly larger than a normal nostril stud! What's this got to do with a pony Girl? she asked waving her hand at her face. Well later sue explained you are going to be fitted with reins and straps resembling a horses bridal, part of that is a bar that runs all the way across inside from one cheek to the other. Because this will get in the way a bit I thought you would prefer to leave that until after lunch. These cheek piercings are pretty big so I have actually used some medical adhesive to close the edge. You'll find they heal up very fast and you won't have any problems with the holes closing over. Right that's you done until hair this afternoon. You're free to wandered around and do what you like.
Lisa left Sue again wondering why she put herself though this, she had gotten used to the lip rings from the last makeover but they now seemed quite mundane compared to the piercings she had just recieved. She stopped at an empty workstation and stared at her face in the mirror for some time, the nose ring in comparison wasn't too bad, at least it resembled a common piercing, even if it was very high and pretty large, but the cheek piercings were barbaric, and by the sound of it she couldn't simply take them out and let them heal up either. By brushing her hair forward she found she could at least cover them somewhat, even though it looked like she was hiding behind a curtain of hair! Shit she suddenly realized she was due to see her folks at the end of term which was only a few weeks away, why didn't she go up before this!
Eventually she wandered off to find something to take her mind off her piercings. In the tattoo chair Gail was receiving an intricate snakeskin pattern on her now bald head. Lisa could see she had been crying but she and didn't really feel up comforting anyone at the moment. She wandered off to find Debbie who had taken the seat vacated by Lisa at the piercing station.
I wouldn't have thought there was much else for you to have done? Lisa said.
Me neither but Terry and Tim had some ideas about pierced whiskers adding to the look Debbie replied, and at least if they are piercings I won't need to have them in all the time. She added.
Those cheek piercings are huge, she said looking at Lisa for the first time, what are they for? What are you going to be?
Apparently they are to hold a bridle and I'm going to be a pony girl Lisa said.
Ohh that's pretty cool, Debbie said, did you see Gail? She is being made over into a snake woman, they have shaved and treated her head and eyebrows and now they are tattooing her head with the snakeskin pattern that will match the clothes she will be wearing.
She looked a bit overcome by it all when I saw her leas said
She has got another shock coming then. They have got a new guy in the makeover team who specializing in surgical mods, she is going to be getting a split tongue! she said this in a whisper so Gail couldn't overhear her.
Oh my god! Lisa said and I thought these were bad.
The two girls chatted until Sue was ready to start with Debbie's piercings. Lisa stopped and watched as sue inserted ten posts with a flat mesh disc on the end into small holes she was making in Debbies's top lip and cheeks. She explained that unlike Lisa's jewelry these weren't pierced all the way through but rather placed into pockets created below the skin layer. The mesh disc then allowed the body to grow into piercing securing it completely.
Once she was done Debbie had a rash of small metal posts sticking out of her lip. Sue then began screwing in 5inch nylon whiskers. The overall effect was quite cool, however Lisa saw that because of the way the posts were inserted there was no way Debbie was going to be able to take them out. So even if she didn't have the whiskers in she would be stuck with the posts which were quite visible. Once finished Lisa and Debbie headed over to the buffet for some lunch, Lisa picked some of the softer items and ate very gingerly, very aware of how easily she could chip a tooth on the inner ball of the barbell. Sue had promised her some flat backed posts for after the photo shoot which should help.
The girls had been eating for a few minuets when terry showed a very different Gail in to the buffet area. Her eyes were still slightly puffy and red but she gave Lisa and Debbie a weak smile and came over. Apart from the clothes she had worn this morning their was little of the old Gail to recognize. Her face seemed blank with no makeup or eyebrows the only color being the snakeskin tattoo which came down over the top of her head and onto her forehead. This was pretty dramatic and meant that if she wanted to cover it up once her hair grew back she would be looking at hairstyles with heavy fringes.
Hi she said is it ok if sit with you?
Of course Lisa and Debbie replied.
They all sat quietly for a few moments, Gail sipping from the drink terry had given her. Then she
broke the silence How do you do it? she asked, how do you live a normal life looking like this? She waved a hand at her face. How am I going to go into work tomorrow and face all of my friends, oh Christ what's my boss going to say!
Its not that bad Debbie said, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to cover up and look normal. I can still go shopping without drawing attention if I spend a couple of min's putting on some makeup. At least I could before the whiskers she said. Take tomorrow off and get a good wig, and you'll feel much better. Get something like you old hair but in a slightly different style and even people that new the old you, will just assume you had a haircut.
Really? Said Gail, how did your partner take to your err decorations? He loved them Debbie told her, these were his idea, indicating her whiskers. To be honest from the relationship point of view it was the best thing I ever did. How about you? Debbie asked Lisa. Well I have to say I did notice that I got a lot more interest from men after the last makeover, but then some of the clothes we were given were much more revealing than the stuff I had worn before. Is it right that the month's wardrobe doesn't apply to this shoot? That's what terry said, apparently they couldn't expect us to wear the clothes on the street, he said we'll see what he means at the shoot.
What have you got left to do this afternoon? Debbie asked. Just Hair and makeup Lisa replied how about you two? Just makeup for me Debbie said with a smile, stroking her perfectly bald head, I've not had hair now for over three months, Tim makes me use Nair followed by the inhibitor every time he finds any fuzz starting to grow. Its surprising how you get used to it she said to Gail who had a look of horror on her face. They put some cream on my head, is that the inhibitor? Probably Debbie said, they seem to use it most of the time, it will keep you completely smooth for a month or so before a start to get some growth. What have you go left to do?
I have to see mark next said Gail, what does he do? No idea Lisa said and shot a look to Debbie.
After they had eaten Terry came and called them back in, he left Gail and Debbie with a guy who Lisa figured must have been Mark, then took Lisa to the hairdressing station. Right lets get this mop sorted out terry said. How did the piercings go this morning? there ok Lisa replied, it was difficult eating as I was really worried about catching my teeth on the barbells, Sue did say she had got some different jewelry I could were home after the shoot though. Cool said terry. You are going to look so sexy once we are finished. Have they told you the plan? Sue said a pony girl? Lisa replied. Yep, you're going to look ace. The shoes we have found are amazing, and with the other two girls this could be the most extreme shoot we have ever done.
Did I introduce you to Mark?
No Lisa said,
He does some incredible stuff, real cutting edge body mods. Tim is talking to him about Debbie's face, he wants to make her look even more like a cat so mark is going to modify her ears to make them more pointed, slant her eyes slightly and possibly even alter her nose and mouth. But those last two are right on the edge of what's possible at the moment.
Good grief said Lisa does she know?
I don't think so said terry, but she will soon when mark invites her into the chair.
Right lets get started on you, this shouldn't take long. Mark began sectioning her hair collecting up a strip 2" wide running front to back down the centre of her head which was pinned out the way. Lisa next heard the hum of the clippers and felt the teeth run up the back of her head all the way to the front. Next Terry moved in front of her ear and ran the clippers up through the hair on her temples. Within a few moments the left hand side of Lisa's head was pretty much bald again. Lisa was watching this taking place in the mirror, The realization that their would be no more hiding her piercings behind her hair quickly dawned on her. Her bleached tresses were quickly stripped leaving a Mohawk stripe of hair around 10" long from front to back. Next Terry shaved the sides smooth then proceeded to wipe on a thick layer of inhibitor. All the time Lisa sat quietly watching the girl in the mirror. Her stomach was doing cartwheels as her Image was once again replaced with that of a very different person. If her friends had been surprised last time then they were going to be blown away this time she thought. Once terry had cleaned off the inhibitor one of the salon girls came over and began to apply color, it looked dark but it wasn't until half an hour later when she was having what hair she had left blow dried that Lisa could see how dark, it was solid black, which a blue tint which caught the in the lights of the salon. Once her hair was dry it was back to the styling chair where extensions were added to the Mohawk taking what hair Lisa had left down her back to her butt. After another twenty minuets of hairspray and fluffing Terry announced she was done. Her Mohawk was now a mane of hair which rose up from her forehead and down her back in a black shiny wave, the contrast between it and the white bald sides was extreme. The image was one of a fantasy Amazonian with a piercing fetish! The combination of hair and piercings sent a shiver down Lisa's back she was having a hard time coming to terms with the reflection as being her own.
Terry announced she was all done and could relax for half an hour before it was time to go for the shoot, so Lisa wandered back to the lounge area. Gail was sitting alone and Lisa noted she didn't look too happy, in fact their seemed to be an edge of panic in her eyes. What's wrong? Lisa said? guessing what the answer might be, Gail slowly opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, It looked slightly red and Lisa could see that without the anesthetic they had obviously used it would have been very painful. Almost the entire length of Gail's tongue was split, giving two completely separate and independent pieces joined at the base. The inside edge looked surprisingly clean and blood free, Lisa guessed they had used more of the medical adhesive to seal the wound. Gail moved her tongue around experimentally, can yous see whast they have dones? she asked her voice had taken on quite a distinct sibilant lisp, it hurts to move my tongues and it feelss odd but they haven't shown it me in a mirror...
Lisa made a bit of a show of looking and was just trying to decide what to say when Debbie came back in Wow she said aimed at Lisa, I like the hair! and Gail you've got a split tongue! that's amazing can you move each piece independently? Gail's Eyes went wide "a what!" She said reaching into her mouth to feel, Lisa saw her push her tongue into her fingers and the two sides of her it separate and almost wrap around the digits. Gail's eyes were already pretty wide but just before she fainted Lisa was sure they were going to come out of her eye sockets. Brilliant Debbie she said now look what you've done. She shouted Terry while trying to lift Gail's head on to a pillow.
A little later everything was once again calm, Gail had been brought round and terry and mark had explained about her newly modified tongue and how it was one of the easiest modifications to hide, only requiring her to keep the two halves together when she spoke. Gail seemed most upset about the lisp, but again they assured her this wouldn't be permanent and was most likely a result of the medical adhesive making the cut edge less flexible than it would be when fully healed. Eventually Gail cheered up enough for the girls to go through the final preparations for the photo session. Terry had a car coming to collect them and take them to the venue, a local zoo, but before this they needed makeup and wardrobe.
Lisa was called over to the piercing station again. How do you feel? Sue asked, ok Lisa replied, starting to get a little sore thought. ok sue said, lets get you a little more pain relief, I need to swap the piercings over which may hurt a little so its worth doing. after applying the anesthetic sue prepared the jewelry, she had a steel bar roughly 8" long with D rings on the end and several chains hanging from it. Once the anesthetic had had time work sue began fitting pieces, first she took out the cheek piercings and after unscrewing one of the d rings she pushed the bar through Lisa's cheeks from one side and out the other, the bar pressed down on Lisa's tongue making it very difficult for Lisa to speak. With the d ring reattached she started stringing the chains. two looped back through the holes in Lisa's lobes and joined to hang down her back. Another pair of chains attached to d rings which were screwed onto the bar through Lisa's nose. A final set of chains with leather blinkers attached connected to the D rings in her cheeks and went up over her head positioning the rectangular leather pieces either side of her face on a level with her eyes, cutting out some of her peripheral vision. Lisa had seen similar items on horses which were used to stop them seeing cars when walking on the road. She had been watching herself in the mirror with slightly detached interest, the anesthetic numbing her face made everything seem as if it were happening to someone else. The girl in the mirror was quite a sight, her Mohawk and the smoothly shaven sides of her head fought for attention alongside her dramatic piercings and collection of chains and leather "accessories".
Sue next took Lisa to the wardrobe room where her outfit was ready for her. This consisted of a skin colored hide Basque into which she was tightly laced, on top of this she was given tight pony skin trousers and a pair of long leather gloves which ended in chrome "cups" enclosing her fingers giving them the appearance of horses hooves. She had to be helped into her boots, they looked like 6"heeled leather boots with a chrome toe but the heel itself was missing and the toe was obviously designed to look like a hoof, she was helped to stand and carefully walked around the room to try them out, apart from a pain in her calf from the stretched position of her feet she actually found walking surprisingly easy in these. Her final item was a long fur and leather coat, the girl helping to dresses her told this item alone cost over 15k, which made Lisa quite nervous, if she was to fall in it she could cause some expensive damage!.
The three girls were then helped out into a van, Debbie was wearing a long leopard spotted cloak and when Lisa asked she revealed that she had nothing on but her tattoos underneath. Gail had perked up somewhat she looked amazing in a snakeskin bodysuit that looked painted on. Lisa sat next to her in the minibus and asked her how she felt, with a still very noticeable lisp she told Lisa she felt good, the medication they had given her had stopped her tongue hurting and she couldn't get over how good she looked in the outfit. Lisa had to wonder what medication they had given her but didn't pursue that line of thought too far.
The Shoot followed the same format as the last one, lots of waiting around and inactivity followed by brief bursts of photography. Everyone seemed very happy about with it and Lisa was surprised at how quickly they got through the shoot. The girls were driven back to the salon to be undressed and paid, Lisa was helped out of her boots and gloves Then sue took her to the piercing station to take the bridle headgear off. She replaced the bars in the now slightly sore and red looking holes in Lisa's cheeks with flat discs, explaining that they were the type more normally used for stretched earlobes but they would fit the holes well and not intrude into Lisa's mouth where she may catch them when eating. Lisa looked at the girl in the mirror, the wooden discs looked like large beauty spots but Lisa had to admit she liked the symmetry of them if nothing else. It crossed her mind that if she replaced them with some in a flesh color they could be relatively subtle.
The D-rings were unscrewed from the bar through her nose and replaced by normal steel balls which rested against the sides of her nose. Back in her own clothes Lisa was acutely aware that the Mohawk and piercings looked a little out of place with the skirt and top which themselves had looked so good with the blond bob just that morning. Debbie was dressed and waiting for the taxi when Lisa came out, closely followed by Gail, who was having the same problem as Lisa, Gail's summer dress and embroidered denim jacket was seriously at odds with her shaven and tattooed head. Debbie was now used to her extreme appearance however and had decided to keep the whiskers in, Lias admired her bravado as they certainly made a statement and in many ways were more noticeable than the tattoos. As the girls waited for the taxis that Terry had ordered for them Gail, who seemed a lot happier told them that Terry had agreed to have Mark rejoin the two halves of her tongue, but they had suggested she let it heal fully first though as it wouldn't be a good idea to open it up again so soon. She was booked in for the procedure in three months time. Debbie's car arrived first then Gail's, as Lisa continued to wait terry came out of the shop and said hi. They started chatting, Terry asked her what she though of her latest makeover and Lisa explained truthfully that she had come to realize that how she looked did not change who she was and part of her was beginning to enjoy the reaction her radical changes of appearance recieved. Her only worry was that she would be left without employment after university because she looked too extreme. Terry reassured her that their was little that couldn't be covered up, and out of the blue asked her if she fancied coming out for a meal with him. Lisa agreed instantly and the two made plans while waiting for the taxi. Little did Lisa realize, at the time, the consequences of her decision.
