So I say: Contacts, lip gloss, a little brow-liner, no turtlenecks until she's more relaxed and animated on camera, and lots of muted dusky colors in the rose/brown/mauve range when it comes to wardrobe. Velvets and soft wools when possible.
She's like the shy nerd girl in every American high-school movie ever made, who only needs to take off her glasses and shake out her hair and put on her new prom dress to be stunning. It usually takes a cheerleader or a promiscuous "outsider" girl to indoctrinate her into the mainstream view of what's aesthetically pleasing, so that the big brawny football guy who reads Emily Dickinson in secret will fall in love with her at the dance. I know how these things work.

At least Pete knows how to do his make-up. Ah, that's not fair. Pete becomes very appealing once you listen to him for a while. He's so enthusiastic about Latin conjugation that you just know he's got to be a wildman in the sack.

Have done.

It's technically not a 7-11, though.
