    Don`t need any make-overs here, I`m already glamourous. I`ve never had
    a mirror lie to me yet, especially with my new hair cut. :')

	But maybe someday you'll stop using a funhouse mirror.....

	Terrie, my sister used one of those. I didn't recognize her. :-)  They
did a good job with her. She kind of looked like the early years of Suzanne 
Sugarbaker from Designing Women. But alas, she lives in Georgia, so that won't
help you out here.

    	Terrie,
    
    	I went to one of those once.  This company traveled to different
    	places though, rather than having one permanent spot in the mall.
    	It was actually a lot of fun.  Kind of a "be a model for a day"
    	type thing only you pay them instead of them paying you.  =)

    Thanks for the responses.
    
    Actually, I already went. (Yesterday)  It was alot of fun.
    I had a great time, and I can't wait to see how they come out.
    I'm going thursday evening to pick up the proofs, before school.
    
    I was just curious to see if anyone else had ever done it, and if
    they were satisfied with the pictures.
    
    Thanks again,
    
    Terrie
    

    
    I did something similar once. It wasn't a makeover place in a
    mall, it was a studio in NYC that specializes in publicity
    photos. For 10+ hours, a half dozen gay men fussed with makeup,
    fussed with my hair, and fussed with the strange clothes they
    kept hanging on me. Through all of this, they insisted that
    I wear absolutely no underwear. Supposedly it was to eliminate
    lines in the tight fitting clothing, but I wonder... :-)
    Unfortunately, it was rather cold in the studio that day and
    spending that much time naked didn't help ... :-) :-) :-)
    
    Anyway, from what I hear, it cost several thousand dollars to do
    this, although thankfully, it wasn't my nickle. The end result
    was a stack of glossy 8x10s that made me look like a runner-
    up in a Village People beauty contest.

    those guys weren't gay.....they were brilliant :>

    I've had a lot of friends do this...all of them had a blast...none of
    them look like themselves in the pictures...all of them would do it
    again.

    Many moons ago, on my 21th birthday I decided it would be nice to go
    the glamour route and present my mom and dad with a nice studio
    portrait. The first time my kids saw it they asked who the lady in the
    picture was, and I understand my granddaughter did the same thing when
    she went to visit for the first time. I guess that photographer was
    pretty good.

Speaking of make-overs, Rosa Lopez got quite the
new 'do, etc, over the weekend.

    
    
    Actually, as I was telling Mz. Deb a little while ago, when the
    hair and make-up were done, and I looked in the mirror, I still
    recognized 'me' looking back.  And, I did my hair and make-up this
    morning the same way that they did it there.  Several people have
    commented that I look 'different' today.
    
    I think that the only real difference is going to be that I was not
    allowed to wear my glasses for the pictures. (You should have been
    there to see me try to *feel* my way around the studio!) hehehe

    Double exposures?  :*)

| I wonder how they handle double chins ?


	With a trowel-o-make-up..... :-)

    
    
    I was only kidding.  I have no idea how
    they would handle it.

    Proper head angles and lighting can hide a multitude of flaws 8^).

    
    "Lift your head, miss thing, that second chin is showing."

	If I ever go for this, I'm thinking of just showing my eyes
	and forehead peeking over a big Chinese fan.  That should
	take care of most imperfections.	;^)

    i meant to tell you...about your forehead, i mean...
    
    jeff

The Southern Belle look...  perfect!

    
    
    Actually, I think when people see these, they are going
    to think I was going more for the Playboy Centerfold look. :}
    
    
    
    I really wasn't, but I think that's how it worked out...
    
    
    Terrie
    

    
    
    	I assume I'll get to view these pics Terrie dear.....:)
    
    

    
    
    Yes, my little Cheeky honey.  I'll show you 'most' of them. :*)
    
    
    
    Terrie
    

    
    
    	only most?!?! I'm crushed. After all we've been through
    together....;*)
    
    
    

	Just what HAVE you two been thru together??? And Jim, why aren't you
running??? :-)

    
    
    And, another thing.....um, oh!  Never mind!
    I'll keep these comments to myself. :*)
    
    
    
    Terrie
    

    
    
    	ow! I had to bite my tongue so hard I drew blood....:)
    
    

    
    
    Go wash your head out with soap, Jim........we have gotten together and
    hooked your keyboard up to a special device where we can read all your
    thoughts.  You ought to be ashamed.......
    
    
    Mike

    
    Oh yeah, same to you.

    
    
    	so that's what this big antenna is for!
    
    
    

    NO  NO   NO  not \nassar readings again!

    
    
    Actually, they are from the waist, up.  :*)

	I'll be needing a bigger fan, or maybe a parasol.

    I looked into it at the Natick Mall and it is very expensive. It was
    over 100.00 for the package. $30 bucks just for the sitting. It does
    look like a blast though.
    
    Lynne

    
    
    Lynne,
    
    The one I went to was only $14.95 for the sitting, but you
    are right about the cost of the pictures.  It was $70.00
    just to buy your proofs (8 shots), and the packages went 
    up from there.  It was a great time, and the pictures really
    came out nice!
    
    
    Terrie
    

    
    of course, when i had mine done 2-1/2 years ago (in texas), the sitting
    fee was free (had a coupon) and the pics ended up costing me over 200$. 
    but, then again, i got a lot of pics for that...8x10s, 5x7s, a ton of
    wallets, and the proofs and a couple of frames.  and besides,
    professional photos don't came cheap in the first place, and it's a
    nice little way to pamper yourself (or the deserving woman in your life),
    if only for a short time...and the results are wonderful!  they (the
    pics) make great gifts and they even allow more than one person in the
    pics, like mom and daughter, sisters, best friends, or even couples.  i
    remember seeing some of the promo pics on the wall and there were a few
    guy/gal shots...it is really fun...and you get to see yourself in a way
    that you normally don't...like i had one shot with a purple boa, one
    shot i was in a leather jacket, another looked like an evening gown and
    there was one where i had on a cowgirl hat and gloves...definitely a
    treat...

	ah jes cain't fathom the whole thing.  nope - cain't.

    
    
    but ladydi...it would be most fun....they do your hair (and they will
    do something that you are used to or try something new) and they do
    your make-up...sorta like feeling like a model, just for a few hours...
    you nevah know...ya might like it... :> :>
    
    

How do they turn the boa purple?

<---they rub linseed oil on it

    
    gerald...i was not refering to a snake...
    
    

	raq, I don't think he was either.... :-)

    torture, i can assure you i'd hate it.

	Milady, I take it that you're not talkin about the good kind of
torture, right? :-)

    
    	re: Di
    
    	I abhore having my picture taken as well but I had the
    	glamour shots thing done and it was a lot of fun. Even
    	convinced a friend mine, who hates having her picture 
    	taken more than I do, to do it with me.  The pics came
    	out great and are really the only ones that I like of 
    	myself.

	"glamour" and I don't mix very well, JJ.  ;>

    
     Then stay away from behind the bar!!!
    

    
    
    	well di, having never met you, I'll have to take
    	your word on that......
