Photo Shoot

I decided I needed some professional pics taken for publicity pictures and by coincidence Groupon had a deal going with a local professional photographer.  Last week I headed off with my trolley case packed with costume changes and props feeling very nervous.  I got changed and then the make-up artisit attacked my face, now I like to think after 50 years I have acquired a few skills when it comes to applying make-up but this lady completely transformed me.  I looked in the mirror and though OMG! to be honest it was a bit scary - lots of black eye shadow and huge red lips, it was very dramatic and I was not sure if I could carry off the look.  Alex (the photographer) put me at my ease, he asked me to dance and I felt a little self conscious however I eventually relaxed into it and struck some nice poses.  Yesterday I went to choose my pics.  Alex had over 50 for me to choose from and trying to decide on the final ones was so hard.  I can only think that guy is a miracle worker, I barely recognised myself and am now the proud owner of some rather sassy looking pics.
