"And you have money! Leah, you are now up to $1."

She knows how orders of magnitude works, but it still feels like so little-- especially given all the changes that have happened. At this rate she won't even get $1000.

"What are you going to buy?"

"Do I have options other than a candy bar?"

"A very small pack of condoms! Haha, just kidding, you don't need those. Body threw in complete immunity to STIs and voluntary control of ovulation, absolutely FREE!"

Right, she's not actually doing this just for the money. 

"15."

"Bad luck, Leah, that's another Bimbo box! Looks like this time you have Hair!"

Ah, her look is complete!

"As always with Hair, you have two votes-- style and color. Our color options are Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, and Black.

"Our first style option is Pixie Perfect. Leah will have a short, adorable haircut that just touches her ears. 

"Next is Punk Princess. Like her makeup, Punk Princess will change over time. It allows for a variety of stylish, alternative looks-- from undercuts to mohawks to a bat's nest to a gothy bob. 

"Our third option is Straight to the Butt. Exactly what it sounds like, Straight to the Butt gives her long, straight hair, perfect for a 19th century maiden right out of a gothic horror novel. 

"Finally, Hiding In Plain Sight is appropriate for socially anxious little Leah. Her hair will always be in front of her eyes, no matter what she does to try to pin it back. She will look cute and shy and like she's trying to hide from the world... no matter what she's doing below the neck.

"Regardless of what you pick, her hairstyle will never be inconvenient in daily life or in sex, unless it would be hot."

Honestly, she's pretty happy as long as she doesn't have to style her own hair. (Which she didn't. The closest thing she had to a style was "ratty and tangled.") She's kind of astonished by the implication than men know all this hair vocabulary she doesn't know. What's a bat's nest...?

"And the results are in! Hair color tied-- both red and black! You guys are really into the demon look! Because the two colors tied, Leah's hair will shapeshift to have various ratios of red and black-- black hair with a red sheen, red hair with black tips, red hair with black bangs, black hair with a red underlayer, and anything else you can dream of! And in a closely fought race, right up to the end, hair style ALSO tied! Leah got both Punk Princess and Straight to the Butt. As such, she will be limited to alternative hairstyles compatible with having hair that goes down to her butt, such as Wednesday Addams pigtails, a long braid with chains and spikes woven into it, or even a very striking undercut!"

The black fog passes over Leah's head again. Her scalp feels tingly, like she's receiving a good head massage. And then...

Her hair is a gorgeous iridescent color-- black with red undertones that appear whenever it catches the light. Her hair has been braided and wrapped around her head like a sort of crown, with blood-red roses woven into it. It looks fantastic-- and she's really glad she didn't have to sit still to have it done. 

"Thank you! This looks super cute." She wags her tail in appreciation. 

She can wag her tail in appreciation!!! Best body mod EVER.

"Ready to choose your next box?"

She got all the good ones. The only bimbo box left after this one is Voice, and after that... it's mental changes. 

But she has a dollar. If she quits now she won't be able to fund her replication project-- and they'll all know what she was on here for. 

Even if she gets a terrible Voice, she'll clearly be net positive on appearance. She'll probably even be net-positive on people taking her seriously, what with Professionally Beautiful. She can quit after the physical changes are over, and even if she didn't get any money she'll say she committed to not going beyond the physical changes, and it will be reasonable and no one will have to know that she wanted this. 

"Seventeen." Her voice shakes a little. 

"Money! Leah, you are now up to $10."

"I think I'll buy a book to read!"

"A smutty one?"

"No comment. --Twenty-one."

"Bad luck, Leah, the next one is... Voice!"

She knew she was an idiot to go on this show. Ten dollars. Nothing ever goes her way.

...Okay, she's an incredibly gorgeous goth with wings and a tail who can orgasm from giving blowjobs and can't get STDs, so some things arguably go her way, but COME ON. She could have got those ANYWAY. 

"Remember, Voice only changes the way you sound. The specific words you use are affected by Vocabulary, which is a mental change.

"Our first option is Low and Husky. Leah will have a deep, resonant voice, like Lauren Bacall. Every word she says will drip with sex."

That's not too bad, and it fits with the aesthetic that the voters have been going for. She might escape this unharmed!
