Toy Box: Make-Up (Toy Box)

Make-up is a little unusual for a guy, but with the right touch, the application can have the most wonderful effects. Just ask the characters in these stories.

We start out with Lipstick by Sue Brown: this is Christian's favorite part of the whole day. The hour before he steps out under the lights, as he transforms himself into his latest character. Of course, there is a very good reason why Christian loves it so much, but he's not here yet.

In One Hell of a Day Off by Misa Izanaki, Frankie is puttering around the house. He has a day off and isn’t sure what to do with himself. He can’t even pester Aki because his lover is out shopping with their co-worker Dante. Aki comes home after Dante and an over zealous make-up counter lady coax him into trying a few things out. Aki isn’t sure about the whole thing but to Frankie it’s a real turn on.

We round things off with War Paint by Syd McGinley. Classics professor Nestor knows his on-campus battles would go so much better if he could wear his confidence-boosting eyeliner. His Sir, protective bear Steven, doubts the wisdom of this strategy and suggests an alliance with Katashi Tanaka and Pol Rønne! Can Steven distract Nestor from his woes with smutty twisted tales of Ancient Greece?
