Mirror Past

This picture was taken before I learned about eyebrow waxing...and when I thought perms were a good idea for spending summers in Key Largo...you know, already damaging my hair with saltwater from the ocean and chlorine from the pool wasn't enough for me.

The scars on my legs are from the Killer Key's Mosquito's, and are still visible today. The plastic shoes came from Saks Fifth Avenue (complete with matching plastic tote)...I should have saved them.

The fish is a dolphin...not the kind from Sea World.

I did stuff when I was younger. I was courageous. I took risks. I wore blue sunglasses with mirrored lenses, not large black frames to hide behind. I wore a white cover-up, not a slimming black. I clearly wasn't afraid or cared what I looked like. ( this is a lie, because if you look close enough you can see my Loreal Pink Sportif lipstick matches my nail-polish...who wears PINK lipstick in the middle of the ocean, when red would be so much better?) I smiled from pure joy.
The beauty mark is still above my upper lip before a stranger told me it was just an ugly mole and I had it taken off. I believed a stranger more than my mother.

I have changed so much.

My eyebrows look better.
