Out come the Dacron royalty
wrapped in rings of ribbon.
spotlights direct the ogling crowd
to the polyester women.

Terylene ballerinas with limbs of paper-maché
crayoned rayon-cotton blends sport arrogant pliés.
rouge smiles that cry out flamboyancy
hide plasticine-induced buoyancy.

The men in the front row point and wink
and lick their lips and fingertips
and the ladies see who the night will be
stoking bashfully
the secret creed
that came with the job.

sucking and cringing their way to the top.

There go the warriors of excess
coated in thick acrylic.
floodlights expose their flowers-
petals stitched
because it’s oh so chic.

Passively posing mannequins
not worth what their milked,
dying on the runway,
tongue-tied with silk.
grossly exagerated opinion of models

This flowed really well, do you use a thesaurus or are all these words pre-stocked in your head?
