Last night, Trivia (Smart Doll Symphony) decided she wanted to look just like her Instagram twin Izzy Gray (@izzygray_n_justiceekpo).
Most of their clothes match, although Triv says that Izzy has cuter shoes. But since the shoes wouldn't show in the photos, the next step was
to snap some pics.


This is the photo of Izzy that Triv wanted to emulate.


Unfortunately, Triv was not at all happy with the way the photos turned out.

"Izzy is, like, a gazillion billion times cuter than me!"

"Well... that's probably a slight exaggeration, Triv, by several gazillion billion orders of magnitude.
Why would you say such a thing?"

"She's skinnier than me, for one thing."

"That's impossible. You're the exact same body type. Definitely ectomorphs, with a waist to height
ratio that would make Barbie envious."

"Look at the pictures! I'm thick around the middle! She's not!"

"It must be the lighting. Or the camera angle. Or the pose."




"That's another thing: I look awkward and uncomfortable, like I'm trying to hold a totally fake pose.
Izzy looks all relaxed and casual and slinky and sexy. I look like some kind of arthritic spaz."

"Now you're being silly!"

"No, I'm not being silly, but I LOOK silly, because my eyes are crossed!"

"Say what, now?"

"I. am. cross-eyed. Like that lion on that old TV show. Just call me Barney Google, with the goo-goo-googly eyes."

"You do NOT have... well... I mean... if you keep saying obscure things like that, nobody will know what you're talking about."

"So I AM cross-eyed!"

"I... suppose you might have a touch of strabismus. Barely. Nobody would notice if you didn't mention...."

"NOOOOOoooooo!!!! I'm NEVER gonna be cute like Izzy! I'm a freakin' fat cross-eyed freak!"

"You're not fat, you're not a freak, and I think we can fix your eyes."

"Really? I mean, about the eyes?"

"Yes, really."

"But I'll still be awkward. And fat."

"It's not you, Triv. It's your photographer. In technical terms, he sucks."

"And he's fat. Fatter than me, even. So we'll get my eyes fixed and fire the fat photographer?"

"Yes... and maybe. Or we could give him one more chance."

"We could. But I'd rather fire him, just to be on the safe side."


Now Trivia can't sleep. She very much wants to look like her Insta-twin Izzy, but her photo shoot didn't go well,
she feels awkward and pudgy, but mostly she's worried about being cross-eyed.

So she's waiting for her favorite TV show to come on, hoping that will cheer her up. It's a show about an Indian chief who lives in a colorful circle.
It doesn't come on until really late at night, after the show about the flag that streams gallantly oe'r the ramparts.
