#848 Runway Blackout- Tara Betts
Fashion models as we know it are a thing of the past. Inter-racial coupling has created many interesting cross-traits, some bad and some good. The most interesting has been the passing and growing trait of shapeshifting. A generation of shapeshifters called: Therianthropes, because of their special abilities have taken over the fashion world. They can be anyone at any time.
“No more worries about weight complaints, skin discolorations, or scars. In fact sometimes, an entire magazine only required one model for all the issue’s glossy pages.”
The common trait among Therianthriopes was their black ancestry. So when they weren’t shifting, most of them donned a black form. Thus, one day the most popular shifter, Voile, a visionary proposed a radical plan. She wanted all models to stop shifting and work the upcoming fashion week in only their black skin. She wanted to show the world the beauty of their true selves. Some balked at the idea, having become exceedingly wealthy pretending to be something they were not, but most agreed.
At first it seemed like a great coming out party, and fashion week was fine, but the aftermath was a disaster. The fashion executives stopped booking the Therianthropes claiming that they were freaks and stealing jobs from legitimate beauties. Funny how the rules change when you refuse to.
