Olay Daily Facials Cleansing Cloths
I had to stifle a laugh thinking of a cap something like this one. I didn't think a guy walking through the cosmetics department giggling to himself would seem that appropriate. Now I don't normally get many ideas of caps from every day life. I guess I just don't look at real life through Caitlyn's eyes. But this one stayed with me.
Sadly this idea came to me during a period where I wasn't feeling creative at all. So it just stayed in the back of my head. Once I got the ball rolling again and was capping regularly I decided it was time to use it. I looked at my cap debt, and realized I was far overdue to pay back Kira (XtremeCSSA on the Haven). This seemed right up her alley as she loves extreme caps.
So all I had was the idea of using Olay Daily Facials some how making the wearer experience a facial. So obviously I needed a pic of someone receiving a facial. Off to Google Image search I went. Now let me tell you, there are PLENTY of facial shots on the internet. Having so many made my job better (I could select a visually beautiful and interesting image), and worse (I had to sift through tons of bad photos). I came upon this image and figured it was almost perfect. I double checked Kira's preferences to make sure that a cultural change would be o.k. Thankfully she loves all colors of the rainbow so I had now found my image.
The image to me shows signs of both disgust and relief. So I figure she had just received a facial, but that it was now over. I mulled a bit, and came across the idea that for whatever reason our hero had tired out one of these cleansing cloths, and had been forced to receive a facial. Better yet, she had to use all of the cloths, and for each one would receive a facial. I liked it, and figured Kira would like it as well.
So I began writing. I had the majority of the story as you see it here fairly quickly (at that point it ended with "....complain to their sister-sluts". I really enjoyed writing up the 'instructions'! So I then went to Photoshop to lay out the cap. I came across a problem fairly quickly.... the watermark on the photo was fairly large, and would take quite a bit of effort to remove. I was in a groove, and didn't want to lose my mojo, so instead of removing it, I figured I could come across an image to cover it up. Obviously the best image is exactly what spurred this idea. A product shot of Olay Daily Facials. Searching for the perfect image, I came across a picture of the re-fill pack. Immediatly I realized that the story would be 'extended' a little bit! So I grabbed the image of the Daily Facials, and for the refill pack and placed them in the cap.
I then went back to word and added the last paragraph. I really got a kick out of his girlfriend 'helping' out by getting him a refill.
