An alternative story
Characters:
The Queen
The Mirror
The Narrator
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, but bad queen, who was always looking into an
ORIFLAME mirror and forever asking:
Q: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful woman of all?
M: It’s you, your majesty, but Snow White surpasses you in beauty.
Q: How is that possible?
M: Don‘t you know? You have been using the same old cosmetics for years now, while she
hasn‘t.
Q: What miraculous things has she been using?
M: Her hair is so black and soft because she uses only HEAD & SHOULDERS shampoo to wash it
and L’OREAL to dye it.
Q: Oh, indeed. And why is her face so white and clean?
M: Because she washes it with DOVE and uses IVATHERM cream.
Q: Oh, really. And why are her eyes so bright?
M: Because there‘s a lot of AMWAY waterproof mascara in her make-up kit.
Q: And her lips, they are magnificent!
M: Because she paints them with MARGARET ASTOR lipstick.
Q: Does she? You know, she works so much and her hands are so soft and delicate.
M: It‘s because of the HERBAL CARE cream. But look at you! Your dress is so old fashioned, while
she wears only BERSHKA collection.
Q: I can‘t stand it anymore. I want to talk to her right now.
And guess what? Snow White and the Queen became the best friends as Snow White promised
to provide stepmother with the best cosmetics and fashion advice. So they went together to the
Mall to buy the new ZARA autumn collection.
And they both lived happily ever after.
