moreResolved Question: Help with writing... Would you read more?
Pepita Gonzalez lied to 20 million girls, women and too-curious men every day. It was okay because she lied to herself too, and she got paid to do it.
It was 2:15 in the morning and Pepita stared at her desktop, guzzling her coffee and savoring the remaining moments of sanity before the emails would start pouring in.
This week, her desktop featured a tornado, the funnel looming over the photographer like a drunk, abusive parent. Pepita heard that the photographer, who died moments after snapping the picture, had dreamed of becoming famous for his weather photography. His tragically romantic death resulted in his dream coming true.
Pepita loved this story, even though she knew it was partially untrue.
Around the tornado curled a picket fence, like white railroad tracks navigating through the debris. It had been taken directly from a video game ad that Pepita's design agency had designed.
Still, she told the story of the twister's photographer to her friends. Just because the fence wasn't real didn't mean the story was false. To her, it was like a movie: just because the characters were fake didn't mean she couldn't feel the emotions of the story.
An incoming email made the inbox flash at the bottom of the funnel cloud. Then there were three new emails. Four. Pepita clicked open her mailbox, covering up the twister.
There were six high-priority emails, each with a single attachment: a high-res photo of a gorgeous underwear model. Gorgeous, covered with acne and moles, staring with vacant eyes and posing with protruding ribs. Pepita had a lot of work to do...

If you read the rest, let me know what you think. Were any parts confusing? Did you have to re-read anything a few times to figure out the meaning? Do you have any questions about it, or personal insight on the subject?
Thanks for the feedback!Yeah, Lynci, this is an edit of the first draft - the previous one was a little meandering and unfocused... more of an exercise... and this one was rewritten to focus more on a point.
It feels more like a short-story to me, than a full story... but now that I think about it, I could develop her character and throw in some conflict. I mean, she totally broke the law, sending out the pics before retouching them... what would happen if she got caught? Or worse, what if the designer sent the wrong files to the printers, and all of the finals ended up in the magazines and the billboards? Hmmmmm.... Possibilities....
moreResolved Question: How's my writing? Is it interesting?
I was doing a quick 45 minute exercise from a book, and the goal was "write what you know" - well... this is what I know! Now let ME know if you're interested in the topic or how you feel about the writing. Thanks for the feedback!

Pepita Gonzalez constantly lied to 20 million girls and women, but she knew it was okay because she was one of them.
Her work inbox jumped at the bottom of her desktop with a new email.
Three new emails. Four.
Pepita's mouse cursor soared towards the inbox icon across her huge monitor. This week, her desktop was a photograph taken by someone looking up at a gigantic tornado. Pepita heard that the photographer who took the picture had died and the camera had been recovered nearly a week later. She liked the story, even though she could see that several pieces of the photo were not real.
The picket fence, for example, which snaked like dreamy white train tracks through the debris, was taken from a video game poster of a 747 crashing in a neighborhood. Pepita's design agency had helped make that game poster. But Pepita still told people the story of the twister's photographer anyway. Even if the fence wasn't real, there might have been something real in it, right?
Pepita made her cursor loop around the tornado like a piece of debris before clicking on her inbox.
Waiting for her were six emails with the final shots from the agency's photo shoot. There was also a friendly "hurry your ass up we're already behind schedule" reminder from her art director.
Like she had to be reminded why she was at her work computer at 2:30 am. In a few hours the designers would start screaming for the 6 final photographs so that they could begin designs for the magazine and poster promos.
If the designers didn't know what the models poses were like, they couldn't put the words in the right place. Pepita didn't really understand this. Was it that hard to throw a Victoria's Secret logo and tagline onto a photo?
Logos and taglines wasn't her job, though. Her job was to study the photos of the starving, almost-naked underwear models, and make them look even more fabulous than the art director or lighting director or makeup artist could.
Pepita forwarded the 6 photos to the designers. She wasn't supposed to. The models' agents had it under contract that only Pepita was allowed to see them before they've been retouched.
"Who cares?" Pepita thought. "Let them start designing. The poses aren't going to change... even though everything else is."
The first one was simple. A silhouette shot on a jungle green background. Pepita grabbed the green color from the background and erased the slight muffin-top on the model's hips. It didn't matter if a model was 100 pounds and 6 feet tall, elastic is elastic and it causes a bump. But people didn't like when elastic looked real... they wouldn't buy the underwear if they saw what it really looked like, so it couldn't look real.
The second one was a full color body. Pepita groaned. It needed a lot of work.
She started with the usual stuff... she grabbed the "blur" tool and attacked every pore on the model's body. She isolated the whites of the eyes, made them whiter. She grabbed the "saturate" tool and made the model's eyes even greener, to match the jungle theme. She added another highlight to the eyes, to make them dreamier. Pepita whitened teeth, erased moles, covered blemishes, and then completely erased the model's awkward half-outie/half-innie bellybutton and replaced it with a prettier bellybutton from a previous model.
The model was a skinny, and needed the joint-treatment. It was a lot easier than the movie stars or (god forbid) average-Jane contest winners, who needed major reshaping. No, the skinny models were the right size in the flesh, except for their joints. Their knees were so knobby, it looked like the bones were constantly trying to escape the tendons. The elbow joints were square, rather than triangular, as if there were accidentally one too many bones devoted to bending the arm.
Pepita had to make the joints look normal. She copied pieces from a different model, until she relized that the lighting simply wouldn't allow the two images to merge. The knees and elbows had highlights that didn't match - it was like merging photos of a house at night, with a different house photographed in the daytime.
Eventually, Pepita had to copy and paste different pieces from the model's body and construct a new knee and elbow.
The art director asked about her progress. Her eyes itched - it was 3:30 am. 4 more photos to go.One after another, Pepita turned the models from amazing into fabulous. Fantastical, but fabulous. These models lived in a world where there was no gravity and their underwear stayed on without elastic, in a world where there was never a crease of skin between the bra and the armpit, in a world where there were no pores and where joints and flesh meshed into impossible combinations.
Pepita knew they weren't real, but that didn't stop her from wanting to be them. It was like the picture of the twister - if she made herself forget what was fake, she could pretend that the story was true. After all, a picture of a real tornado wouldn't be nearly as fabulous.

That's it! Obviously, not much on character development or story... those weren't really my goal for this exercise. Just writing what I knew. Thanks for reading!
moreResolved Question: Is this how you know that you grew up in Tornado alley?
You know you grew up in tornado alley if...
The first thing you do if you hear tornado sirens during the day is check your watch to see if it's noon...or run outside to look.
You don't get worried unless the sky looks "green".
You use the word "tornado" as a verb.
You chuckle at all the facebook groups called "I survived the ___ tornado."
You might go indoors when there's a tornado, but you won't "seek shelter" for anything less than an F3.
You know what Doppler radar, Hook echo, wall cloud, and rain-wrapped all mean. And you can read the radar map.
You've never exactly memorized the tornado precautions, but you've heard them enough times that you know them by heart anyway.
Watching the weather is entertaining. And red on the Doppler radar is exciting.
The phrase "Tornado on the ground, take your immediate tornado precautions" sends exciting shivers up your spine.
You've seen photos/videos of tornados and said, "Wow, that's a nice one!"
You can feel/smell tornado weather brewing a few hours before the storm actually begins.
There's an odd feeling as though you've misplaced something if you make it all the way to June without a tornado warning near you.
You think people that live in earthquake and/or hurricane prone areas are crazy.
You know what people are talking about when they mention the "May 3rd/Moore" tornado and the "Greensburg/May4th" tornado.
You watch the movie "Twister" just so you can point out all the inaccuracies in it.
You know your weathermen by their first names. i.e. Gary.
When you hear the tornado sirens go off, you go outside to watch the storm and take pictures.
Most of the tornado video footage comes from everyday people with camcorders instead of from actual news/weathermen.
You're sure there's a giant tornado magnet hidden somewhere in Moore. And that there are smaller ones distributed throughout trailer parks.
You know that the four seasons are actually: summer, late summer, winter (if you're lucky), and tornado.
You don't consider it windy until the windspeed is faster than 30mph.
You are highly entertained by people from outside tornado alley when there is a tornado watch.
You learned that some other states don't have tornado drills from this list.
There's enough random stuff in your tornado shelter that you could live there for a year.
You stand under your carport or open your front door to watch hail and/or thunderstorms.
You know the difference between a basement, a cellar, and a storm shelter.
The weather is a completely acceptable subject for conversation, at any time, for any occasion.
Your local mall has "tornado shelter" signs posted.
It doesn't bother you the next day to find out that your area was under a tornado watch the night before and you had no idea. Unless, of course, it caused you to miss some interesting cloud formations.
Getting to "play" in the basement/cellar/storm shelter numbers among your favorite childhood memories.
You keep matches, candles, and candleholders in more than one place in your house.
Your town will never get hit by a tornado because you're between two rivers or because an old Indian legend says so.
You complain about severe weather reports that interrupt the TV show you're watching.
You can get together all your most important possessions in 2 minutes flat.
When tornado sirens woke you up in the middle of the night...you rolled over and went back to sleep.
You've ever tried to reassure someone by saying that "if anything forms it will only be a little tornado"...and couldn't understand why this didn't calm them down any.
It's normal for your area to be under a tornado watch for multiple days in a row.
When looking at houses/buildings you give them a "tornado survival ranking". i.e., how big of a tornado it would take to destroy it. Also, if you are in a new building or house, you evaluate in your mind the best place to take shelter.
You've ever asked (probably w/ disdain) "Don't they know the difference between a warning and a watch?"
You know what towns/cities a tornado normally passes through before coming your way.
From watching radar maps, you've heard of almost every small town in your state. And you know what towns are around them, but you have no idea where in the state they are.
You know what the freight-train noise sounds like from personal experience.
You laughed at everything in this list, but you also respect a tornado's power. And you know that after it's over, clean-up and re-building has to begin.
moreResolved Question: Is a tornado likely to have sucked up a dinosaur at any point?
At school, we all loved drawing pictures in the back of our exercise books of T Rex's and Plesiosaur' being ripped from the surface of prehistoric earth by an almighty twister and being spun around violently in mid-air until they were really rather giddy.
Would this have been likely to have actually happened at any point in earths history? Seriously. I need to know.
moreResolved Question: How do I twister proof my home?
I plan on moving out to Utah one day and having my own house built. Tornadoes scare me and after seeing pictures of damage they scare even more and I honestly don't want my house to look like what the ones in the pictures do. Anyway tornadoes are rare in Utah but still, how do I build my house so that it's hard for even a strong tornado to destroy?
moreResolved Question: Wizard of Oz Tornado Picture?
I saw a picture of the twister in the old wizard of oz movie and desperately need to find it for a christmas gift. It is a print in sienna color(not black and white). It is fairly large and there is a small house in the backround. I have been searching forever and decided to look her for some answers. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know!
