A lazier day I've not had in years. The house is clean and there are no kids around to mess it up now that it is clean. I have an appointment this afternoon so I need to make sure I take extra care while showering. It's a bit tedious doing the mundane but it's for something extra special, something my husband would have never thought I would do. Naturally I'm nervous and I am unsure how I am going to pull this off. There is no need to do the hair and make up, this place does it all for me so it'll be like being pampered as well. I got the idea to do a pin-up photo shoot awhile ago when I saw a tv show on this woman who did one for her husband. Here's to hoping they can work with what I have.
I arrive about 10 minutes early for my appointment, I am almost always early. The receptionist behind the desk looks nice but opening that door is taking a lot of will power. "Hello, you must be our one o'clock. Hannah right?"
"Yes that's me. Sorry I tend to be a bit early."
"Not a problem dear. Have a seat. Can I get you something to drink? Some of our patrons find the process a bit easier with a little bit of help. We have champagne or wine if you would like that or water."
Knowing full well that I can use all the help I can get to go through with this I ask for some wine. The receptionist heads to the back to get my drink and let the make-up artist know I am here, as well as the photographer. When the receptionist returns with my wine I am still sitting on the edge of my seat, trying to decide if I should bolt or not. She hands me the wine and with a smile says, "Here drink this, it'll help calm your nerves. Don't worry hon, it'll be great and you'll look superb. You're husband will be the happiest man alive!"
I smile and take a sip, the wine is delicious. "I don't know what he'll think. I've never had the guts to do something like this. Always thought I'd wait until I was thinner but that day seems too far away sometimes so in the spur of a moment I made the call." I gulp some more wine down, could time drag any slower?
"We can't all be thin hon. Don't you worry your pretty little head, you're very pretty. Think of yourself as voluptuous not heavy. There are many people out there who would take one look at you and find you astounding just as you are! Would you like some more wine?"
I look down at my glass and realize that I managed to gulp the whole damn thing. I smile and nod. As the receptionist walks back the make-up artist comes out and tells me to come out. "Don't worry she can bring your drink back here." I sit down in the chair and get made up. It's kind of nice having someone else do all the work. As she is working on my hair and make-up I finish off three more glasses of wine. I am feeling pretty damn good now.
