Prevalent at malls in the 80's, maybe before, maybe after. I haven't noticed one in a long time. Seemed like every girl went at least once back when they were popular. My wife went, and I hinted and hinted that I'd like to go (this was back when she was accepting), but she never gave me the OK. So, I did what most hard-driven crossdressers would do. I did it behind her back!
I came in with very little makeup on and my hair straightened with a round brush. Part of the deal was the "glamour" makeup and hair. I typically wore a lot of makeup, but they caked the makeup on heavier than I ever did. I loved the way they did my eyes! They hot rolled and teased my hair, so I definitely had the big hair goin'. For the poses, you could pick from different tops and accessories they had or bring your own. You didn't completely change, because the photos were only of your head and torso.
This was the only pro photo shoot I ever had. The poses, the way they had me tilt my head and twist by body and hold my hands, seemed very strange, but in the photos it actually looked good. I think the sitting fee was only $20, but as I recall the least expensive package was $100. I went back after a week or two to look at the proofs. I wanted those pictures so bad, but $100 was a lot of money to us back then. I wasn't going to buy anything and was ready to leave when they offered to sell me a proof. I don't remember what I paid. Not very much. I had to hide it, but I'd occasionally take it out and look at it. I don't have it now, and I don't know for sure what happened to it. I think I got rid of it during one of our moves. Either that or the ex has it.
I spent a while shopping throughout the mall after the photo shoot. I wanted to be seen with that makeup and hair as much as possible! Then I had to get home and get the makeup off before my wife got home.
Anybody else had a Glamour Shots?
