briefs! That’s too weird for me. Boxers, I guess. I’ve worn those to sleep in before.”
    “Well, don’t just stand there, Trevor, wasting my time,” Benito chided. “Make yourself useful. Head to the Beverly Center with that list. We need it all.” He turned back to Avery. “You and I are going to be real busy for at least a couple of hours. My dear, I’m gonna have to give you a crash course, the 411, on how to look, talk, think, and act like a vato .”
     

     
    WHEN TREVOR RETURNED several hours later, Benito grabbed the large shopping bags from him and disappeared into the back. Before Trevor had time to finish scrolling through the emails on his phone, Benito came bustling back in and announced dramatically, “Brutal Strength’s newest member es muy, muy gaupo.”
    The transformation was remarkable. Avery looked every inch the stylish young teen heartthrob wearing a structured jacket with an attached hood over a button down white shirt. A thin black tie was wrapped around her neck. She wore low rise straight fit jeans and stylish black boots to complete the ensemble.
    Trevor nodded his approval. “Amazing,” he whispered. “I can barely believe my eyes.” He clapped Benito on the back. “Ricky, you are a freaking genius. Avery, you look fantastic! Clothes really do make the man. And the haircut is perfect. Chicks are going to dig you!”
    Avery scowled. “That is so… not what I want to happen.”
    “Sorry, Avery, just saying.” Trevor gushed, “You are as pretty as Bieber himself. Black Cat will love your look. You’ll bring a whole new demographic to Brutal Strength’s fan base.”
    Benito chimed in with additional instructions: “The urban metro look is really popular with the west coast bands. I suggest you google some pics of Bryce Soderberg from Lifehouse or TobyMac to get ideas to maintain the look. The layered style they favor really works to your advantage. Mira , look, it covers up your curves, top and bottom.” He smirked at Avery. “I would stick with leather jackets or loose military ones like you have on. Boots for casual, keep your feet covered. They are a dead giveaway that you’re a woman. You can dress your look up with button down shirts. With your coloring, dark green and black will be the most flattering. I’d get some newsboy caps, too. Do vests and go for thin loose ties, or a scarf, to cover up the fact that you don’t have an Adam’s apple. No shirtless rock concert performances for you, eh chulo ? Also, shiny black jeans will work for dressy occasions. I’ll text Trevor some examples of more outfits I think will work for you.”
    “Great,” Avery responded, overwhelmed by the plethora of details he’d given.
    “Did you deepen your voice just now?” Trevor asked, eyes widening.
    “Yeah. I did that earlier at the tryout, too. It kind of goes with the disguise, don’t you think?” She wiggled her brows.
    “Good thinking.” Trevor nodded. “Well, we’d better get going. Our flight’s early in the morning.” He extended his hand to Benito. “Congratulations, Ricky. You are incredible.”
    “Absolutely,” Avery agreed, wrapping her arms around the stylist and giving him a hug.
    “Whoa, hold on.” Ricky took a step back. “Remember what I taught you. Guys give man hugs.” He demonstrated by putting the proper body width distance between the two of them and then double hand-slapping her on the back. “Also, don’t forget about the walk. Guys stride purposefully, shoulders back. No more girly hip swaying action.”
    Avery followed his instructions, swinging her arms like he’d shown her earlier.
    “ Bueno . Bueno . I predict you are going to be a big hit, Avery. And the publicity, maldita sea , when you let the cat out of the bag, it’s gonna be stratospheric. They see you,” he pointed to her, “they’re gonna remember me,” he pointed to himself. “It’s gonna be great for my business!”
