Beauty Editor: <a href=\"http:\/\/centmagazine.co.uk\/family\/alexis-day\" target=\"_blank\">Alexis Day<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>6:45.<\/strong> Hit Snooze.<br \/>\n<strong>6:52.<\/strong> Wake up. Six minute shower, with the shampoo that gave people orgasms in the 90s. You\u2019re sexy.<br \/>\nRed panties. Just in case. Red bra. Vintage dress circa 1920. Flapper. You can pull it off. Only good thing about small boobs. Make-up. Make it look natural. None of those garish colors the ex-husband\u2019s secretary wears.<br \/>\n<strong>7:20.<\/strong> Breakfast: coffee and a Red Bull chased with gum, Arctic something.<br \/>\n<strong>7:54.<\/strong> Drop the twins\u2014they\u2019re not twins, but you always wanted twins and the way the girl wears her hair short, she even sorta looks like the boy\u2014at school.<br \/>\n<strong>8:01.<\/strong> Tanning. Friends think you get tan gardening. You tried a garden last summer, but when fat green caterpillars kept eating your tomatoes and the dog left a heaping shit on the basil, you gave up.<br \/>\nTan ten minutes.<br \/>\n<strong>8:21.<\/strong> Consider walking to the grocery. It\u2019s a ten minute walk. It\u2019s nearly 90\u00ba out.<br \/>\nDrive to grocery store. Not the whole foods one. The one with HoHos. Remember you only weighed 119 pounds before the boy. 130 before the girl.<br \/>\nThat was fourteen years ago. You were pretty.<br \/>\n<strong>8:31.<\/strong> Walk past the HoHos.<br \/>\nYou\u2019re pretty now. Lipo, thank god. Doctor said 150 didn\u2019t justify it. Money convinces anyone. One fat slup later: 115.<br \/>\n<strong>8:33.<\/strong> Grab a kiwi. Kiwis are healthy.<br \/>\nGrab a RockStar. Kiwi: $0.33; RockStar $2.99. The way the cashier looks at you, under eyelashes too long for a boy: Priceless.<br \/>\nEat the kiwi, skin and everything, before getting back in SUV.<br \/>\nDrive to office. 9:02. Work. Get on Facebook while conference calling. Chug RockStar. Buy a Snickers from the vending machine while you\u2019re on a different call.<br \/>\n<strong>12:15-1:18.<\/strong> Lunch: Snickers. Eat it while you bike on the stationary bike at the downtown Y. Shower.<br \/>\n<strong>1:20-1:40.<\/strong> Fix make-up.<br \/>\n<strong>1:41.<\/strong> Purchase double soy latte.<br \/>\n<strong>1:44.<\/strong> Return to work. Search for better job. Maybe a wedding planner. Imagine sexy young grooms-to-be, and how they\u2019ll be nervous about getting tied down. How you\u2019ll call them in for a private conference. How, after pretending to care about whatever they\u2019re saying, you\u2019ll lean in with a low cut blouse and breathe-whisper in their ear, that sounds like such a good plan.<br \/>\n<strong>3:47.<\/strong> Wonder if the twins got home safe. Call the boy\u2019s cell. Call again. Start to panic. Call again. Yell at him when he answers. Feel relieved they\u2019re home safe. Hang up. Wonder if the boy was lying. Leave work early. You\u2019re salaried.<br \/>\n<strong>4:29.<\/strong> Try the front door. Unlocked. Imagine rapists. Grab a vacuum cleaner attachment from the pile of vacuum cleaner parts in the coat closet. Realize it\u2019s the hose. Slink through the house. Imagine yourself as a frog. A Leopard frog. A Leopard frog with sexy red panties.<br \/>\nFrogs come lubricated. Frogs are sexy.<br \/>\nYou have fantasies about being raped. By your ex-husband. You know you\u2019re not supposed to think those things. You\u2019re a liberated woman, and rape is anything not sexy.<br \/>\n<strong>4:31.<\/strong> Nudge open the door to the girl\u2019s room. See a boy. Not your boy.<br \/>\nThey don\u2019t notice you. They are inexperienced and clumsy. Don\u2019t watch long.<br \/>\nNow you know the girl isn\u2019t a lesbian. Not that you wouldn\u2019t love her anyway. That\u2019s what you\u2019re supposed to say. You\u2019ve rehearsed. Just in case.<br \/>\nRemember when boys wanted you.<br \/>\n<strong>4:49.<\/strong> Go to linen closet. Break into emergency supply of HoHos. Eat three. Hell, you\u2019ve already opened the box. Eat them all.<br \/>\nPuke. You like feeling empty. You can\u2019t balloon out again.<br \/>\n<strong>5:01.<\/strong> Go to kitchen. Pour yourself a finger of rum. Make it three. Add Coke. Call it dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Make me up&#8217; published in The Heartbeat Issue guest-edited by Jo Malone. Photography by Jeremy Coleman.
