Ever watched a make over show on TV! Dull drab men and women are transformed to look like a movie stars! Its like watching a ugly duckling transform into a swan:)
I was traveling on work and everyday evening with nothing to do i would end up in Macy's, shopping as it was right next to the hotel i stayed! On one of those days i decided to shop for my all time favourite perfume and found myself in the Elizabeth Arden counter! I picked up a few perfumes and assuming that i would also be interested in buying the make up Chinese girl at the counter (who could have really used a lil perfume herself) was trying really hard to sell me some make up.. Not convinced by my "I don't use makeup", she said why don't i give you makeover! The wannabe movie star in me wanted to try the larvae to butterfly transformation!
I agreed to be the guinea pig and perched up on the chair! The Chinese girl asked me what kind of look i was interested in? 'Dramatic" or "Natural"? Why the hell would i apply layers of make up to look natural? I quirked "Dramatic" Give me dark shadows and works, i said! I was imagining myself to look like one of the kohl lined beautiful eyes actresses on television running around trees, while the Chinese girl continued applying some gooey stuff on my eyes! While i sat there dreaming about what song could i picturize myself with my dramatic eyes, the Chinese girl was running about bringing more and more gooey stuff telling me, "Don't look in the mirror until i am finished" Well OK! I like the anticipation and the climax! After about 30 minutes, when i had almost dozed off imagining myself in some some bollywood thriller, the Chinese girl in her sugary honey coated tone said "Now you can look" Slowly as in a climax of a soap i turned towards the mirror!
"Screeechhhhhh" Who the hell is that? I was staring at a face i didn't recognize!!
"Dramatic"? Yes it was! Transformation? Hell ya! Only it wasn't the ugly duckling to swan transformation! It was more like a transformation of gender! I looked like a "TRANSSEXUAL HOOKER"
So much for my make over! Sigh some of have to contend with a lil less drama in life!
With that!
Drama Queen
