Big mistake…big mistake …huge

So today was my day. It was another balanced day of duties. I was refreshed and had the energy to do myself up with the outfit I bought after the store owner wouldn’t let me in. I come out of my room and my boss and his guests see me. They are so used to seeing sweaty, tomboy, no makeup deckhand, that they couldn’t believe I was the same person. Not that I looked cute…I just look really bad the first half of my work day.

The guest who has been here before. The New York dress designer, says in her accent, oh my love, you look beautiful! I have a gift I brought for you after meeting you last time. She brings out one of her designs, in my size, with sunglasses and her signature butterfly necklace. Now mind you, this is a high class woman…with a heart truer than true. She 💯 believes in me and my soul and wants to see me succeed…I do think tho, she looks at me every morning and thinks, does she not care how she looks? She has me change into the dress she brought me. She says “ my love, do you ever wear mascara?” I’m thinking…I just put my version of full makeup on, which includes mascara…am I not doing something right?…oh my love let’s put some lipstick on you…ok I did that too…so she touches up my face then tells me…twirl, as she takes pictures with my camera. She says you know, pose, be free! I’m moving in every awkward pose I’ve ever seen a Victoria’s Secret magazine model do…but somehow she’s not impressed so she just keeps snapping my phone away knowing nothing is going to be model acceptable in her beautiful gown. But she loves me anyway. She says you look like the Hamptons, you are the Hamptons, BAM! You go show them.

Well I was just doing this to go knock on that boutique door and get the ladies response now…I fully intended on changing my clothes and going to my crew bar where I fit in. By the time my makeup and photo shoot was done it was too late to go to the boutique, so I changed into my version of sexy and headed to the crew bar.

So I had a relaxing dinner in too much makeup for what I was wearing..,but all is good!
