STYLIST: Hey, Maren! So we need to talk about the CMAs, which are coming up.
MAREN: Oooh, good, FINALLY I get to do one of those awards shows in my jammies!
STYLIST: Well….
MAREN: And I’ve gotta spruce up my Zoom background. Should I use Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
STYLIST: Well, it’s not–
MAREN: Nah, maybe that’s over already.
STYLIST: First, Four Seasons Total Landscaping will never be over. Second, the CMAs are actually in person.
MAREN: They’re… what?
STYLIST: They’re in person.
MAREN: With… an audience?
STYLIST: Yep.
MAREN: And a red carpet?
STYLIST: Yep.
MAREN: And performances?
STYLIST: You’re doing one, yeah.
MAREN: Unmasked?
STYLIST: Yup.
MAREN: Have they seen the Covid numbers?
STYLIST: I guess not!!!!
MAREN: …
STYLIST: I know.
MAREN: Dammit!
STYLIST: And you RSVP’d yes, so I guess we just make the best of it.
MAREN: I can’t believe I missed out on Comfortable Awards Shows. I’m so pissed I wasn’t nominated for an Emmy for… something.
STYLIST: Look at the bright side! We’ve missed clothes! Fancy, extravagant clothes!
MAREN: Okay, but I still want pajama clothes.
STYLIST: Are you sure?
MAREN: Yes. But fancy, extravagant pajama clothes.
STYLIST: Noted.
MAREN: If I can’t be on my couch all night, then want to look like I’m about to bust into “Freddie, My Love,” from Grease. But also like I’m powder-puffing my face before dancing around in celebration of taking my boss’s resident orphan to the movies. Both. Together.
STYLIST: And this will be… comfortable?
MAREN: No. But it will be TALKED ABOUT.
STYLIST: Sold. I guess.
