Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone
INT. BEDROOM – MORNING
(An OVERLY PERKY MOM enters her TEEN DAUGHTER’S bedroom, bouncing with each step. The girl is slumped on the bed, in overexaggerated dismay. The mother’s face registers concern. She sits beside her daughter.)
MOM:
What’s the matter, honey? Why aren’t you ready for school?
DAUGHTER:
(groaning and flops back on bed)
I’m not going to school today, Mom!
MOM:
Not go to school? But you love school. You’re an impossibly high achiever in all areas of study whom I live through and fulfill my narcissistic need to outshine the all the other PTO moms with!
DAUGHTER:
I know, but I just can’t go out in public! Not with these hideously bushy eyebrows.
MOM:
Hm, you’re right.
(Looks puzzled for a second, then a lightbulb goes on above her head, followed by a burst of glitter.)
Oh honey, I know just what you need. (Pulls out huge tub of Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™. It is pink, glittery, and plastered with butterflies )
Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone, now with Ultra Beauty Action! (winks) Exfoliates, moisturizes, and self-tans while you rid yourself of that unnatural, unsightly ‘brow hair.
DAUGHTER:
(Doubtfully, biting her lip)
Does Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™really work?
MOM:
Of course! Kim Kardashian says it’s the secret to her luminous skin and celebrities would never lie to endorse a product. That would just be immoral.
DAUGHTER:
But doesn’t it hurt?
MOM:
(laughing)
Of course Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™ (wink) hurts! You’re ripping boiling wax across your face. But beauty is pain and your looks are your most important feature. If you look like a troll, what boy will ever want you?
DAUGHTER:
(sighing and looking at her mom with admiration)
Wow mom, you’re so right
MOM:
But wait, there’s more....every time you buy a box of Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™ (wink), the company will donate a box to one of those poor, starving children in Africa.
DAUGHTER:
But do kids in Africa even need—
MOM:
(cutting off DAUGHTER and laughing)
Of course they need it! They may be in the final stages of kwashiorkor, but now they can look their A+ best with fleeking eyebrows
(winks)
DAUGHTER:
Mom, it’s on fleek.
MOM:
(ignoring daughter)
And with every use of Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™ (wink) you are helping to contribute to our Great American economy. Don’t you want ensure we can have all the good things in life? Do you want to deny the citizens of America simple pleasures like cheap beer, porn, and reality TV? What are you, a communist?
DAUGHTER:
Mo-om!
MOM:
(gently hugging her daughter and smiling)
Of course not! You’re just my eager-to-please daughter with an unfortunate eyebrow maintenance problem. And I am your compassionate mother here to help you achieve the beauty standards set in this country by completely realistic un-photoshopped models.
DAUGHTER:
(sighing and shaking head in wonder)
Wow mom, you really do know everything.
(holds out hands for container of Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™)
INT. CAR – LATER
(DAUGHTER steps out from car with freshly waxed eyebrows. In addition, she has fake teeth veneers, curled and coiffed hair extensions, and a skin-tight school uniform that shows off her body. Her skin is tan and she wears expensive diamond necklaces and earrings that sparkle in the light.)
MOM
Wow, honey! You look terrific!
DAUGHTER
And it's all thanks to you mom (giggles and tosses hair)
—and Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone with Ultra Beauty Action™.
MOM
(waves at DAUGHTER as she walks to school, then turns and looks at camera.
Ultra Babe Brow Be-Gone—because there’s always something to fix about yourself.
(flashes a smile)
