California Girls, We're Undeniable {Florence}

[blake lively]

For someone who wasn't a huge fan of crowds, Blake really did not mind spending some time shopping at the local mall, especially with some friends. Most of her Gossip Girl cast mates had been too busy to accompany her, but recently she'd found herself a new shopping buddy. She'd met Florence at one of the many events she had made an appearance at, and hit it off with the fire-y redhead quickly after that.

She'd spent time with the singer after the event, both of them occasionally lurking and hanging out at the other's work. She'd never been in a recording studio before, but had since gotten the experience of watching someone lay down some tracks and gotten to see the inside of a recording studio.

Which is how she found herself currently in the mall, a couple shopping bags in her hands and her arm linked with said redhead. Music could be heard overhead throughout the mall, and occasionally Blake would sing along with a couple of the lyrics before laughing. Rearranging the bags in her hands to distribute the weight of the purchases already done, she turned her head to grin over at Florence. "So, where to next?" she asked, looking around at the stores around them.

Florence hoisted her own bags higher on her arm so they wouldn't end up falling right off, her other arm connected merrily with her companion's. She was having a wonderful time already, as she always did with the Gossip Girl star when they were together.

She'd pay attention to the music in the background every so often to make sure they weren't playing any of her music. It was a strange quirk with her; hearing herself on the radio was terrifying! Every so often she'd belt out a couple of the lyrics to whatever was playing as well in a bad impression of herself singing.

"So where to next?"

The singer grinned as she thought, caressing her chin with a hand in the universal 'thoughts' pose in a joke. Suddenly, she shot her arm out to point at a small vintage-looking store. She was always a sucker for those.

"What about there?" Florence inquired, her grin never leaving her face.

Florence usually didn't mind being out in a crowd. She wasn't the type who was equipped for the high-tech age and usually got places on foot; it still surprised her and felt unusual when she got recognized.

Looking over at the store pointed out by her companion, Blake grinned as she caught site of the name. It looked like a cute little vintage shop, which were always some of her favorite places to look for clothes. Most of the time they weren't something that Serena would wear, and people always seemed to be surprised when she pointed the little shops as some of her weaknesses. But ever since she was a teenager, Blake had loved the vintage clothing, and couldn't resist peaking in the shops when they presented themselves.

"To the cute little vintage shop!" she said in a voice that wasn't terribly loud, but not the most quiet either. It was her quirkier side coming out, and the blonde let out a laugh afterwards as she pulled her newest shopping partner towards the entrance of the store. The store was small, but it seemed quaint. There weren't many people in the store, and a bored looking teenager at the cashier station, flipping idly through a magazine.

Taking a quick look around, Blake smiled as her eyes caught some of the clothes and items around the store. Unlinking her arm from Flo's, she quickly took a couple of steps over to a green wrap thing before holding it up to show her friend. "I think this would look great on you, my dear." she said with a grin as she held it up in front of her.

A semi-loud laugh escaped the lips of the singer as she trotted off in the direction of the cute little vintage store with her companion.

Upon seeing the clearly bored teenager at the counter, a grin swept across the redhead's face for the umpteenth time that day. She motioned towards the kid with her free hand subtly and imitated the kid with an idle expression on her face and motions of her hand that mirrored that of the teenager's before breaking her character and letting out a small giggle.

The kid clearly didn't see her poking fun, too involved in flipping through the magazine and half falling asleep at the counter.

She watched curiously as her friend whipped out a green wrap clothing item and held it up for her. "You think?"

[/b] Her British accent inquired as she broke into a bigger grin as she did some fake model poses behind it.

One of her favorite parts of having Florence as one of her best friends - other than the fact that the singer was simply amazing and they hit it off practically upon meeting - was that she seemed a lot like herself. She didn't take herself too seriously, and could easily laugh at herself. Plus, she made for an amazing shopping partner when the mood struck Blake to shop.

She watched Florence imitate the girl at the counter. It was a dead on imitation, and Blake had to stifle a couple giggles to avoid drawing too much attention to themselves. "Of course!" she said, letting out a laugh as she held her arms wide to show off the wrap before coming closer and wrapping it around the singer's neck playfully as she struck a pose, "Green is definitely your color." Blake nodded to emphasize her point, letting out a small string of giggles once she did.

She always felt like a kid whenever she did something with Flo, especially when they went shopping. Then she always felt like a little kid let loose in a clothing store without adult supervision. Letting go of the wrap she had been holding, the blonde made her way farther into the store, picking up a couple items every now and then before setting them back down. Her attention was caught by a wide brimmed had, and she pulled it over her head. "What do you think?" she asked, tugging down at the ends and striking a couple silly poses.

If it were even possible, the British singer broke into a larger grin when the clothing item wrapped around her neck. "Do I look like Christmas?" The redhead inquired playfully, striking a pose as well that looked somewhat like she was doing the Egyptian.

Florence's personality had the ability to amaze people. Around those she didn't know (with the exception of preforming, of course), she was quiet and shy like a little rabbit. Then, you could put her around Blake or her band, and she'd act as if she didn't know what the word shy meant.

She followed Blake down the aisle, flipping through items herself, keeping the soft green wrap curled around her neck just for kicks.

"What do you think?" the actresses's voice automatically forced her to lift her head, and she automatically broke into another smile. The hat was pretty on her, but wasn't pretty on Blake Lively?

"Gorgeous, darling!" Florence exclaimed with a grin, adding the 'darling' to make it sound as if she were some kind of fashion expert or photographer.

Letting out a giggle at the question, Blake pretended to look over Florence carefully before nodding seriously. "I'm afraid you do, doll," her tone was serious, and she had to work to bite back the smile that wanted to cross her face. After a few minutes, she let it go and grinned. "But that's alright, I've always loved Christmas best!" She paired her words with a wink and another laugh at the singer's pose.

Gripping the brim of the hat sitting on her head, Black tipped it towards the redhead as though it were a cowboy hat. "Thank you, darling!" she said in a heavy southern accent as she placed her hand on top of her head, pushing the hat back a bit and striking a couple poses as well. Even though she had started making a career in modeling as well, her poses resembled those that little girls would strike while playing in their mom's make up and jewelry.

The blonde didn't take off the hat yet, instead left it on as she wandered though the rest of the store with a smile. She would look at some of the clothing and accessories strewn around on random places, most of them looking like they didn't actually have a place to call home. Moving closer to the back, Blake spotted a large white dress hanging along the wall. It was white, covered in sequins, and it looked like it had tons and tons of layers of fabric on it. "Can you imagine getting married in that dress?" she asked her companion with a giggle, pointing towards the dress in question. "I can't imagine even making it down the isle without falling down countless times!"

Florence's face dropped to a serious look as she inquired as to whether she looked like Christmas, as if her answer would change Florence's life as immediately as she said it. She managed to keep her face serious up until the actress answered; all seriousness diminishing from her face, the redhead broke into yet another bout of giggles. "At least I'm your favorite holiday!"

Taking a moment to wonder what would've happened if Christmas was Miss Lively's least favorite holiday, her mind moved on. A little smirk dared to creep up on her face as Blake imitated a Southern accent.

Florence mimicked her with a Southern accent of her own, though hers simply mingled with the British and sounded all sorts of strange instead of believable. "Don't worry 'bout it, hun!"

[/color]

After a brief moment contemplating her failed accent, the singer wrinkled her nose and shook her head with a smile stuck to her face; it was clear that she understood how bad her accent had been. Afterwards, she giggled. "I think I'll stay British...and never do that again."

Florence followed her shopping comrade down the isles, eyeing different pieces of clothing and briefly picking some up before placing them back down neatly on the rack. Blake stopped at a sequined, long, white gown, and Florence laughed softly.

"It's a bit flashy," she agreed with a follow-up laugh for good measure. "I bet Lady Gaga could pull it off though. I mean, if she can pull off a giant egg..." she trailed off, pondering Lady Gaga in the dress. Perhaps it was a bit too normal for her.

"You should feel quite special!" Blake teased over her shoulder, sending a wink Flo's way. Christmas had always been her favorite holiday, ever since she was little. Of course, then it had been about Santa bringing her presents and eating all the cookies they had left out for the jolly fat man, but once she had figured out that it was just her parents doing that, it had still remained her favorite holiday. There was just something about that time of the year, and spending it with her family that made it special. And since moving to New York for Gossip Girl, she hadn't always been able to be with her family during that holiday time. But she had her cast mates, who were her second family, so it wasn't a whole loss.

Blake turned around to fully face Flo when she had stopped, biting back a laugh at the British woman's accent mingling with a Southern one. It was easy to tell that she was British, but the Southern one gave it a weird sound, one that was quite strange if she had to say. A couple of giggles escaped her mouth, and after a minute Blake let go of the rest before nodding. "I think that would be a good idea, it sounded a bit odd." she teased once more as the redhead reached her before turning back around to face the dress in question.

Flashy was one way of putting the clothing, and to her it was putting it lightly. She tilted her head to the side, however, and pretended to analyze the white death trap through all the layers of lace and sequins and imagining the singer in it. Gaga had always had an outrageous fashion sense, and Blake could almost picture her in this monstrosity if she squinted enough. "I bet she could," the blonde agreed with a laugh after a couple of moment, straightening her neck and grinning over at her friend. "I mean, she pulled off the giant egg, so this should really be a piece of cake!"

Florence was always a Christmas girl herself, and not just because her hair had one of its colors. Though she wasn't particularly a religious person, though she was nearly obsessed with religious iconography and the ideas of heaven and hell that seemed to show up in her music, she loved the ideas of making other people happy; that was what the whole season was about. Sure, she might say a prayer on a plane (simply because she was afraid of flying), but other than that she hadn't had many religious experiences of her own. A familiar smile spread across her face, she returned Blake's wink. "Oh my god, Blake Lively loves my holiday!"

[/color] Florence exclaimed in mock excitement, waving her arms around in the air like a crazy person.

Impressions had never been Florence's thing, though she did recall doing a mean impression of herself in an interview once. It went something like, "Singing! Loudly! Out of tune!"

She held back a laugh at the memory. Miss Lively already thought she was insane (though from what Florence could tell she thought it was a good thing), and the last thing she needed was to be teased about laughing at nothing! Or perhaps it could have turned into a fun conversation. The world may never know.

"I made up my own accent!" Florence declared proudly in response to Blake's teasing. "One day there are going to be people walking around talking like that!"[/b] She nearly shuddered at the thought.

Florence extended an arm and caressed the side of the dress gently, simply to get a feel for the texture of it. She'd always been sort of fascinated with Lady Gaga; she thought the blonde woman was some sort of force of nature in the pop scene. "Do you think I could pull of an egg? Perhaps I'll dress in a full on chicken suit next gig," the vocalist joked.

Letting out a stream of giggles, Blake twirled in a circle with her arms spread wide, "That she does! Yell it from the rooftops!" The blonde let out another giggle as the few people in the store other than them turned to give her an odd look before turning back to their shopping. She had to say she was kind of glad that they didn't swarm them like some other people had done in the past - it made her shopping experience much more enjoyable, especially when she was out with friends.

Laughing at her companion once more, Blake put on the heavy southern Belle accent once more, "We can't have that now, though, can we darlin'?" she drawled before flicking her blonde hair over her shoulder playfully.

She turned her attention back to the dress in question before tilting her head to the side once more. She could easily picture Lady Gaga in it, though maybe with a bright red spot in the middle to spice it up a bit. Alone it seemed like it'd be too plain for the outrageous singer, but maybe with some large holes in it or something...she turned towards the British singer once more before looking her up and down. "Possibly," she teased, "Though I could see you in a chicken suit...I think your fans would find it quite fascinating." she joked as she let out another laugh.

She giggled once more as Blake demanded that Florence yell her companion's love for Christmas from the rooftops. “Maybe I'll just write a song about it!”

[/color] Florence exclaimed. Oh god, she could see it now. It'd be entitled 'Oh My God Blake Lively Loves Christmas and I'm So Excited!'.

She brushed a fiery tendril away from her cheekbone, tucking it behind her ear as she attempted to think up lyrics for it. Nothing. Perhaps because she was more focused in her makeshift studio back with Isabella Summers, or 'Isa Machine', the nickname for the British blonde deriving from the olden days when it was just Florence and Isabella. They'd called their little band 'Florence Robot/Isa Machine.'

In response to Blake's Southern Belle impression, Florence was laughing just a bit too hard to reply. She was sure that if Blake went around using that accent all the time, people would be in shock and continually ask questions about what it was like down South.

“Well, that fan with the permanent tattoo of me might start thinking about another one!”[/color] Florence laughed. “I can't believe he did that. I mean...my face is on his arm! Forever!”[/color] It was strange to think that someone would like her enough without even speaking with her to tattoo her face onto his skin, an image that would be there for as long as he lived, and even a little longer after that.
