Intertwined Hearts

Backstage

Only a few minutes had passed as I was in the extra dressing room, cleansing the eyeshadow brushes and placing the lipstick in the colors of the rainbow.

This was all due to the thrilling strike of boredom, I was stuck by myself with all the accesories, puffing a cigarette, staring at my "inked" arm and occasionally swigging my bottle of Heineken, supervising the clothing and makeup supplies whilst my "clients" were rocking teens socks off.

Yes. I am the Permanent Vacation Tour's costume and makeup manager.

Just as the music stopped, I threw my cigarette in the ash tray and waited for the first guy to walk in.

It was a sweaty Steven Tyler, humming his way to the door. He stopped, wiped his forehead and yelled in a seducing tone, "Do me baby!"

" Oh Steven," I dramatically placed a hand on my chest, " This is so sudden!"

He barked a deep rasp chuckle, " I was talking about my face, honey. I need my eyes done again. Been sweatin' pounds just lettin loose out on the stage. And where did you put my hat? I couldn't find it..."

" It's was on the knob, where the set list sheet was taped."

" Shit," he laughed, " I didn't see it."

I laughed, grabbing my material, " Go ahead and sit down. You want the usual black liner or somethin a bit more fancy?"

He shrugged and I gestured my roll on glitter, his eyes widened with excitement and he had a sliver of a smile, " Oh I like that."

" Do you mind? I just got it, and I've been in the need of a face to try it on..."

" Go for it!"

I slowly opened the bottle and began to locate the area and sketched it with a light pencil.

" So how'd it go? I hear you guys from in here, sounds great!"

" You know, It's really rippin!"

" Who's idea was it anyway? You know, to have Guns n Roses come along?"

" Mine," he smiled, " You know...same style, same noise, same record.."

Just then, Axl came in.

" Lookin Good Rose." He chuckled grabbing a pack of Marlboro.

" Right back at ya," my cheeks turned red.

" Hey, uh, I know it's not your job but could you order a few pizzas for after the show? The boys and I usually have a sick appetite."

" Aint that the truth," hollered Steven.

I laughed a bit, " Yeah I could probably put in an order."

Axl gave me a big grin, and kissed my cheek, " You're a babe." he headed to the door.

" Under one condition." He froze and I heard him mumble, "Shit".

" C'mon, you dont think Im going to get something out of it?"

" What's the catch..."

I grasped his belt, " You let me pick out Guns and Roses' full wardrobe for tomorrow's show, from head to toe."

" No fucking way!"

" C'mon man," Steven pleaded, " Its not like she has no experience."

" I could put you in just socks..."

"Hmm," he gave me a sliver of a smile, " And you would like that, wouldn't, you? You naughty girl."

I gave him an innocent shrug.

" The band would go for meat lovers. You know how much I love meat..." he whispered in my ear, and slowly exited.
