[Éclat Sur! - Episode: Thursday, November 15th]

[eclatsur]

Odile has opted for her bed as a backdrop again. It seems that only earlier in the week does she do a review of something, and now she's sticking to a casual more bloggy type of video later on. Her comments sections are filled with people arguing if this is good or not.

Today she is in some sort of oversized hoodie, curled up tight in the warmth of her bed. Probably from the snow that just fell outside, of course.

"Bonjour!" she lets off a bright greeting, before allowing that giant facade to fall away. She's still happy, still content, but it's not blinding and fake anymore, so that's something. She holds the camera out just enough to capture the top half of her. "It has snowed in Paris! I do love the snow, I know it is a pain for so many others but I feel as if it captures the true nature of Paris. Seeing the Eiffel Tower covered in a thin layer of white is very lovely, no? Tourist season is always in the spring and summer, but I feel they are missing out when they do not come for the winter weather. But I suppose that does mean that a Parisian holiday is reversed for only the locals, and some brave souls that know better."

She grabs a mug of hot cocoa, takes a sip of it, then sets it aside.

"I am looking forward to Christmas. So many others tell me, all the time, that I should not be involved in Christmas yet, it is only November. To that I say, I will celebrate holidays any way that I choose. When I see snow I long for Christmas, and there is no written law insisting that Christmas is only for late December. Are there not English songs that encourage a 'Christmas spirit' all year long? I am looking forward to my school's Christmas dance as well, there is a dress in a store window that I have seen. Everyone I have spoken with swears by the latest Nina Ricci designs for the Christmas dance, however I found them frumpy and plain - also far too black for Christmas."

She rolls onto her side, taking the camera with her, a smirk on her face.

"Perhaps I will do a shopping video when it comes time. I suppose I should begin shopping now, to make sure my dream dress is still available. I cannot count on designers having it on the rack the week before the dance, after all. That would be ridiculous. Here is a tip, for all of my female viewers! Pick out your dress before your date! That way, if you do not get a date, you will at least have a gorgeous dress to wear, in order to lure in a new one!"

Oh, she cracked herself up with that one, it seems. But when the giggles subside, she just does a quick wave to the camera.

"Until next time! Éclat sur!"

And in the living room, after listening to her record, a cold, worried realization slithers into Kasper's stomach.

There was a winter formal.

She was going to be attending said winter formal.

In a designer gown.

And he would most likely be her date.

Oh boy.
