The day I went to get Glamour Shots as a gift for my hubby...

It was the big thing at the time, early 90's, everyone was going to do this photo shoot where they would put make-up on you and do your hair and give you different outfits to wear for a variety of poses.  I had been wanting to do it for quite some time and finally decided to suck it up, over-come my fear and get it done. 

My niece agreed to go with me so off we went...

I get there, they put tons of makeup on me and curled, teased and shellacked my hair until it was full and styled.  I felt like a million bucks!  They had me change my outfits and posed me with and without my glasses and it took a long time.  After we were done, my niece and I decided that since I was all gussied up, we might as well walk around the mall for awhile.  I asked the lady for something to help me clean the makeup off of my face and she said they had nothing but baby oil.  SAY WHAT?  I decided to give it a shot and at least remove the heavy foundation.  YUCK!

That finished, we strolled out of the store and into Burdines.  We used to like to look at the makeup and try different things so we were walking around the makeup counter and the Sales Clerk walked up and asked if she could help us.  I noticed that she looked at me funny but I was feeling like a high-fashion model, so I just let it slide.  She said, "Did you just get Glamour Shots?"  Man, my face lit up, "I sure did!" Smiling as big as I could!  She kinda smiled at me and walked away.  We left there and went to several other stores in the mall, the whole time, I was strutting my stuff.  

After awhile we decide to call it a day and go home, I had a blast, we always liked to walk around the mall and window shop.  It was quality time for me with her.

I get home and go upstairs to brush my hair out and take the makeup off.  Looking in the mirror in the bathroom, I picked up my hand mirror and looked at the back of my hair to see how she styled it and...."WHAT IN THE HELL DID SHE DO?!"  She teased my hair and curled it....and PARTED it down the middle and pushed it all forward and around my face!!!  Can you guess what was going through my head at that moment??? I wanted to KILL my niece for not telling me and letting me walk around the mall like some woman that thought she was all that!!!  I can feel the embarrassment even now!

THANK GOD we didn't run into anyone I knew....or maybe we did and they hid when they saw how I looked!  

Did I tell you I used to like my niece?  LMAO!  I still do, and still raze her about it....I can laugh about it today, but can you imagine?

Laughter....it's good for the soul. :)
