cream soda by Stephanie Valente

cream soda

Stephanie Valente

Glamor is a spell. I want to feel glamorous.
Imagine this: being born from Aphfodite’s ocean
pearls. Foamy, iridescent, shimmery, and moody
all over. I bet it’s gorgeous. It's the kind of
feeling when you take the first sip of cream
soda. That kind of confidence is the real beauty.
Honey. I was hand carved by the gods. You
can’t bring me down.
