The One time I was Glamorous

You never know what awaits you when you open an email. Usually my friend Karen sends me photos and video and tales of her life in California but this email brought back such memories of a really fun day we had back sometime  in the 90s . You have to know Karen is a GREAT record keeper; she takes photos and videos and makes great scrapbooks.
 I on the other hand, forget easy but she had sent me a photo that reminded me and also made me laugh.

Just look at it . You can see why it made me smile. It was supposed to be a 'Glamour shot" These photo shoots were all the rage in those days. And I remember Karen had pushed me into going as i really didn't want to go. What a laugh it turned out to be . We sat with a  bunch of very average ladies and waited for our turn to be made over in the latest in "overdone' cosmetics.  Then we were ushered into the studio, a hotel room with a guy with a camera and a back drop cloth.
Oh I forgot before that we were told to choose  outfits and accessories to wear. That bit was fun , just dressing up in all the fur and fluff and fancy hats.
Then our photos were taken before of course we were passed out to the person who did the sales pitch. Yes we were all to get a free 8" by 10' glossy and naturally we would be silly if we didn't order a whole bunch of photos of our new glamorous selves.
I had no intention of ordering any photos but as I remember it, Karen's husband bought a set each for both of us. 

 Karen unearthed one of the photos of me in her treasure trove of memories .And now I think of it at the back of Mike's workshop on the wall in the mixture of cars and tools there is the other.
The one time I was "glamorous".
Thanks for the memory Karen.
