Well, I can only really think of one thing in terms of grooming, so... enjoy?
Grooming The Spinster show crew were turning up in two and threes; coffees in hand, eyes barely open, and much moaning about how early it was. The set, most constructed after a herculean effort the day before, at least looked like it would be ready on time, and slowly they started picking up their jobs and coming back up to speed. As the sun came up the set transformed into a hive of business, with voices calling across to one another and ensuring that things were put in the right place at the right time and the assembly was safely and correctly put up. The host's stand-in, a charming woman called Deborah, walked in with the Spinster herself in tow. Deborah moved like a swan: graceful and elegant, but quite likely to break your arm if she decided you were cheeking her. Her dark skin gleamed in the sunlight and a couple of the men on the crew stopped work for a moment to stare. Then shouts of 'get on with it' got them moving again. "This is the wedding set," she said. The Spinster, a young woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties (though the plastic surgery was a major contribution to that look), looked slightly shocked. "Wedding?" she said. "Yes," said Deborah. She waved a hand graciously. "The grooming will be the first half of the show, and then the wedding is the second half." "Grooming?" The Spinster sounded uncertain. "That's like... dressing up?" "No silly. All the potential grooms -- all the guys you haven't rejected so far, and not Tony, will show up dressed as grooms and you'll have to pick three of them to go through to the final. Each of them will be hidden behind a screen so the audience can see them but you can't, and they'll each provide a number -- the length of a part of their anatomy. It's completely up to them which part, but the number must be accurate. You pick the three you like best." "Why not Tony?" said the Spinster, who knew perfectly well why Tony was being disqualified. "After the grooming we'll cut to the adverts and reset for the wedding," said Deborah ignoring her. "And this time tomorrow, you'll be happily married." "...what if I'm not happy?" said the Spinster in a small voice. She had definitely intended to go home with Tony after the show. 'We're going to have a new show you could audition for," said Deborah. "We're calling it: First Divorce."
Greg - it always worries me when you end your preamble with 'enjoy?'...
Ah, nothing to be concerned about this time. That was rather highly entertaining, in fact. Poor Tony, though it does sound like the Spinster will find a way to bring him home regardless.
