The title card for episode #3 of Mariko Kazama's hit tomecast, "fashion SMASHIN'". The young host is seated at her desk, wearing a yellow Ala Mhigan blouse and pale green sweater decorated with geometric patterns. She wears a purple floral corsage in her hair and a matching necklace.
In a closeup in front of the photo stage, Mariko excitedly introduces the next segment of the show: "Welcome back, everyone, to our episode about Ala Mhigan fashion! In this segment we'll be taking inspiration from the majestic gryphon! And here again is today's model, Margot!" We see Margot Weisshexer's face in extreme closeup as she strikes a pose. She is wearing a pale blue crop-top and slightly-darker blue gryphonskin leather bodice. Around her neck is a brown leather choker, and a pale blue-green gemstone necklace is almost completely obscured by her vivid red-orange hair. She smiles nervously for the camera, and her eyes glance aside at Mariko. "Honestly, mei—" she begins, but stops herself short, remembering that she's not merely speaking to Mariko privately as "little sister". "Uh," she stammers, "I mean, Mariko, I am flattered that you asked me to be on your show today, but I don't think of myself as a fashion model..." Mariko grins broadly as she snaps pictures with an instant camera. "Nonsense!" she reassures her bestie. "You're perfect! And this collection looks so beautiful on you! Now, if you don't mind, let's head over to the stage for one more shot!"
Mariko stands in front of the performance stage, with her back to the talk show set. She is looking up at Margot, gesturing, and giving stage directions. "Yes, just hold onto that... Look this way... Yes. Turn your hips just a— perfect. Now lift your knee? Bit more... bit more... great." Excitedly, she brings her camera back up to her eye and leans in. To Margot, she exclaims, "Gorgeous! This is just what I wanted! You're a natural! Now smile and say Thighlander Thalsday!"
Margot stands on stage, still wearing the meager shirt and bodice, matched with equally scant white shorts, and long brown leather boots. She wears brown gryphon leather bracelets to match the choker. She is holding onto a long vertical pole with her left hand, and her right leg is raised and propped against the pole, her hips askew to accentuate various aspects of her muscular highlander figure. She looks down in shock and horror at Mariko, and cries out, "Say WHAT?"
On this third episode of #FashionSMASHIN, Mariko knows how to give the fans what they want, and she needs a very special guest's help to do it.
