"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand

Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

Deep In The Mud

<p>"I couldn't help but fall into fits of laughter at the sight of 'pretty Aurora'. Comparing myself to the likes of clowns would only serve as an insult to the latter. The shade of foundation used on my face was ten shades lighter than my skin tone. My eyebrows were shaved off and in their place replaced by two perpendicular lines drawn in an attention seeking charcoal eyeliner. The concealer used on my eyelids made the eye shadow colours stand out and what my little make up experience has taught me is to always use a matte shade of eye shadow for the transitioning of the edges of the outer corner blended into the inner corner but Rosa used a glittery pink. For the blending, she used a neutral colour that fell into the brown category, instead of using concealer to cut the crease, she went in with a blood red and used white highlighter for my inner corners. To top it off, a raw green was violently smeared on my lips.</p>
