[Forrest is even more dressed up than usual today, rocking a sweet lolita outfit on the advice of his good friend and fellow fashion buff, Speed of Sound Sonic.  He seems to be in an exceedingly good mood, judging from the smile on his face and the way his curls have that extra little bounce to them today.]

Hello, everyone!  For those of you I haven't met, my name is Forrest, and my passion is making beautiful clothing.  Since it seems like I'll be staying here in Takamagahara for a while, I thought I would offer my services to the other gods and their shinki.  And so, I'm proud to announce the grand opening of my clothing shop and beauty salon, Heavenly Couture!

[Forrest gives a little twirl in front of the camera, pulling on something just out of frame.  A banner unfurls behind him, sporting the name of the business in colorful and fancy hand-drawn letters.]

My first commission is already spoken for, but as of today, I'm officially taking requests.  Prices are negotiable based on the complexity and necessary materials, and I promise to work closely with every client to make sure you're completely satisfied.  I also offer hair, nail, and skin treatments here at Lakshmi's temple for anyone looking for that little extra touch.

[Smiling sweetly, he laces his fingers together and bows his head to the camera.]

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Art you can wear, I suppose.

[Forrest giggles a bit, winding up the tape.]

But that's why it's important to take the person wearing it into account. The same outfit will look very different on two different people.

Then I'll wear whatever you make me very proudly.

[ She knows the pride of someone enjoying what she makes, so she wants her friend to feel that, too. ]

Mm, I think I understand what you mean. The way they hold themselves... right?

[Forrest nods, pleased that she seems to understand completely.]

That's right. The way they hold themselves, their body type, the color of their eyes, skin, and hair... they're all important considerations in fashion.

Wow... I had no idea all of that mattered.

Yes, there's a lot that goes into fashion. Just like there's all sorts of things that make a good drawing - color, shadow, perspective.

[To use an example he knows she's familiar with.]
