Prepare to be fabulous.

Well, Poly. This is Dawn and I have been well and truly enabled to bring you this dapper gentleman straight from Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games series.

Poly, this is Cinna. Just... Cinna. He needs no other name and he's here to make you look your best. (And possibly incite a rebellion, but really that's just an added benefit.)

Tim Gunn wishes he could make it work this well.

I'm in the process of adding everyone, and I'll intro him a little later in the week. (Mici, Haku, when are good times for you?)

Any questions? Good. Carry on.

...and friend add threadthefire. You know, 'cause you can.

They did make it a point to note that of the Victors in the Quarter Quell, Peeta is the most decent of all of 'em. Also, he's always shown that desire to hold the Capitol accountable for the shenanigans they pull and to stick it to them in his own quietly rebellious ways. I think he's got what it takes to be the next president.

Which would also play into their "star-crossed lovers" bit. They're pretty consistently shown to each have strengths that cover for the other's weaknesses, so if you take Katniss as the revolution half of the equation, that leaves Peeta for the post-revolution administrative side of it.

Also, it's better than him dying. >> And since I really can't see Katniss being happy to be the president's wife, it would also leave her and Peeta forever connected while still giving them an out so they don't have to do the romance stuff. Because at this point, I'm honestly betting that she won't end up with either Gale or Peeta.

I'd like her to end up with Peeta, but at the same time, I also feel like there's no real satisfactory way to resolve that triangle except for having her end up with neither. I mean, she cares about them both and is tied to them both in different ways, and I feel like it would set a bad precedent to have her actually pick one over the other.
