Manehattan Hooves
Chapter 2
Previous Chapter9:30am GreenLight apartments, Downtown Manehattan
I got up out of my bed, had my breakfast and hit the bustling streets of the city. Even on such an early, but warm day, all ponies were out shopping, working or just sightseeing.
Which is something I have to do.
I'm not a big fan of saddlebags, and I wouldn't be taking them around Manehattan. So I took a hoof bag which was hanging on my door. I rushed around my room to get all the things a Manehattan fashionista should have, 24/7.
Sunglasses check. Bits check. Hairbrush and make-up, I guess you always gotta look good?
Oh well, with my bag packed I was heading down to the bottom floor of the apartments. I lived on the top, at least I got a good view. I opened the front doors and joined the continuous flow of busy ponies, going from place to place. It must be a very boring life, going to the same places over and over again.
But what can I say? I'd be all over the place if I was a world-famous model, wouldn't I? I'm not going to keep my expectations too high, as I said, not everything might go to plan. It's not like I planned anything so my life would be better. As you probably know, it's just an expression.
Anyways, I have a choice. Shopping or sightseeing?
Obvious answer. I've gotta look my best when even going around the streets, it's kind of law for models to look good everywhere they go. I rushed onto Main Street, and stood in Ponies' square. Skyscrapers, department stores, music playing everywhere. I could really get used to everything they do here.
I headed into the nearest, and biggest department store in the square. Seventeen levels of fabulousness. Seventeen levels of clothes, make-up, anything!
I trotted into the front entrance, it was amazing. Diamond chandeliers, red carpets, marble floors. I'm in heaven!
11:50am TrendHoof Department store, Main Street Manehattan
This is something any fashion-crazy pony would love. All the designer outfits, accessories, and.. Was that a gem store? I love it all! At least I know where to get all my best clothes from.
I found a notebook in my hoof bag and scribbled down most of the things I saw, displayed lovely on racks, pedestals just, amazing! The dresses, the shoes, hats, jewellery! You can't forget the jewellery!
12:30pm Ponies' square, Main Street Manehattan
I left the department store, hooves full of bags. So I got a carriage back to the apartments to put the bags in my room. I took all the clothes out, they were magnificent! I can't wait to be wearing them when I'm modelling, out in the streets and at awards ceremonies.
I put all the clothes away and went back out to get some lunch.
There was a French café not far down the street, ponies were saying that lots of famous ponies in Manehattan have been there. It looked like a nice place, brick walls, bistro seats and tables. I would go there all the time!
I put on my best clothes and headed down to the square.
I walked up to the door and opened it, it was a well-designed place. The smells of food were magnificent. I walked over to a table and sat down to read the menu.
I saw a table with some magazines, so I walked over to pick up one. The first on the top looked interesting, Manehattan models, looked pretty nice.
I flicked though the pages of the magazine, only to find myself on the 'Next Top Model' page. My jaw dropped. I didn't even know how I got in there.
The magazine said that Flair Glass, a pony who has just started a new career in modelling, has been living in Manehattan since the start of the week. And she may become an uprising trend. Her first photos are released in two days.
Two days! I can't believe its coming so quick. I can't wait to have the best career ever. Who knows, maybe I'll catch the eye of some even bigger industries!
