This devastating rejection sends Doll Face into a tailspin, causing her to question her entire career and purpose. Fueled by desperation and disappointment, she turns to her trusted boss and manager, Mike, seeking his guidance on what to do next. It is then that Mike, a wise and ambitious strategist, devises a plan to salvage Doll Face's image and increase her appeal to a more refined audience.

Although initially apprehensive, Doll Face eventually agrees, thinking that this will be an easy way to capitalize on her existing fame and garner new fans.
