I'm pretty sure I look like a celebrity!



This is going to be one of those "I'm not Wonder Woman/I'm not immune/The Really Real Truth" kind of posts. Let me start by saying that I was prepared for my modified body, going bald...all of that stuff.  It's just hair and I can wear a wig. I can wear falsies...I haven't yet but I can. I typically get up and put on makeup because it makes me look better.  What you cannot really prepare for is when you take these things and add the other effects - pale skin, dark circles. Yep you guessed it, you wake up one morning, au naturale, and you gaze at yourself in the mirror and realize that you look very much like this guy...

That is NOT an image you want in your head...especially when it comes to your own reflection. Yes, friends, The Uglies have hit! I told a friend the other day that I feel fine but if you saw me without makeup, hair, etc, you would think I looked sick. You have NO idea how much that irks me. I...AM...NOT...SICK!! So if you see me and I look like I'm wearing 1/4 inch of makeup, know that it's simply to cover those annoying dark circles. 




As much as I hate it I do know that this too shall pass. 

Now, let's have a laugh!  Another one for Bobby.  lol
