DANA
Five women and their gowns were already purchased and I didn't take part… yet. I know they're saving the best ones for last and those are what I came here for. The best, not the crumbs.
The people in my table have already purchased their own dresses and they look at me proudly, as if saying to my face that they're the richer one and that the orphans would be thanking them and kissing their feet now. I only kept a straight face. All their misconceptions are like foreplay to me. It makes me want to get it more, to show off more.
"our sixth dress is hand-sewn with fresh white pearls over a mesh cloth, the skirt comes in many layers but is also lightweight. The sleeves are made of garters. The back is made with a hidden zipper. Starting at a price of P45,000. Do we have a bid?"
"P47,000 here ma'am." – Bidder 89
"P47,000. Do we have a P48,000?"
Another man raised his number.
"P55,000 ma'am… that will look perfect on my daughter's prom."
