“For 12 million people, I was the girl with the big lips. Tonight, I just want to be Sofia. Let’s talk about what’s behind the pout.”
“Of course,” Sofia said. She didn’t plump. She didn’t pout. She just smiled a wide, full, crooked smile.
Sofia smiled, a genuine, un-photographed smile. She typed back: “Yes, Mami. Lots.”
The next morning, she woke up to chaos. Her engagement had tripled. But the comments were different. They weren’t about the gloss or the shape. They were about her eyes. Her soul. One comment from a woman in Ohio read: “Thank you. For the first time, I feel like I don’t have to be a photo. I can just be a person.”
Later, hiding in the bathroom—a private, orchid-filled sanctuary—Sofia looked at her natural lips in the mirror. Without the filter of a ring light, they were just lips. A bit chapped from the constant reapplication of products. She touched them. They felt real.
A young girl, maybe nineteen, with braces and a hesitant smile, snuck into the bathroom. She was holding a phone. “Oh my god,” the girl whispered. “You’re Sofia Pout. I love you. Can I… can I get a photo?”
She hit post.
The girl took the photo. “You look… different,” the girl said, confused. “Happier.”

Any additional instruments (Piano in this example) are indicated by "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.
This woodwind quartet is for 1 Flute, no Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 Bassoon, 1 Horn and Piano.
Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this:
