I got another makeover a couple of days ago from a GG friend of mine, she was my previous nail tech. She is a real cutie and a lot of fun to be around, We were supposed to do this at her house, but at the night before she said her brother was home, so could we do it at my house? OMG, that meant I had to clean like crazy, so I spent a good 6 hours trying to at least make the downstairs look presentable :) I was worn out when she arrived....

So, while these pix aren't my favorites, and I wasn't going to post them here, I decided "aww - what the hell", so here they are, for better or worse.

DanaJ

P.S. I am going to post the pix one in each new post, so that anyone who is curuious will not have to open each pic. The thread title reflects the fact that there are pix here for the "modem impared".

This is not the best pose, but I finally got to my feet.... I always find it hard to pose well. I sometimes look at magazines and catalogs to see how the girls pose, but when the camera gets on me, I forget everything.

OK, after we took a few pix (or should I say a few dozen) in the previous outfit, she picked out something else for me to try - a red sweater and black pleather mini. She also changed my lipstick to a red. This was a holiday look she said, but I think it is a holiday look at the bordello myself :D

This pic shows me standing. She really wanted to do something more with the wig, but she didn't bring any "product" (beauty pro's decription of hair spray, but also is used for any beauty product).

Since she is a nail tech, she wasn't going to let my nails go undone for these pix. I already have my nails grown out pretty far (about 1/4 inch free edge) so she did the whole works - base coat, 2 color coats, one quick dry top coat and then one really glossy top coat. She wanted to use this UV activated top coat that works well, but she didn't bring her light.

I gotta say it - I love red nails!

Thanks kimm and G, I don't think so and trust me - the pix look much better than me in person :) But it is real sweet of you to say so :)

I only was able to view the 4th post picture - the others don't show an image just that there is supposed to be one. But the one that I saw... definately passable. I like the outfit also and the color coordination is great. The bracelet is a nice touch also. Wish I could find a bracelet large enough for my wrists. Wish I could see the other pics. All in all - Super! :)

All in all - Super! :)Ashleigh, when that happens, try refreshing your browser, sometimes that helps. Is anyone else having trouble seeing all the pix?

Here's a little secret about that bracelet - it is actually a necklace wrapped twice around my wrist :)

Thanks everyone, you are really all far too kind :) If you could see me in male mode - yikes! Since I am a big burly construction worker, I am afraid my build doesn't allow for any real life passing, so I try to do it in photos.

If my GG friends wouldn't mind, I would post some pix of us together, and then you could see how big I am compared to normal GGs :)

Dana;
You look great, and even better as a blond, that I think it is a better style cut for you. Nicely done with the makeup and all, I wish I had a friend who would spend time and teach me how to apply the war paint correctly.

And so what if you are a big boned girl, I know quite a few GGs that are physically large and carry their size daintally.

BTW: I'm considering buying a log cabin style home do you have any reservations that you could reflect upon? Maybe we could chat sometime about it.

Dana,

You look great, and I love your nails.

I'm sure that you could pass, if you had enough confidence to try. Self doubt is always the hardest thing to cover up, I think.

Dana, great pictures! You're lovely and very lucky to have GGs. I have two sisters :rolleyes: and it would be wonderful if they could help me, but they would never understand.
Ciao! ;)

Dana:

I will have to go along with Sharon, Genevieve and all the other girls that have posted here. You are one beautiful lady, as your excellent pictures reveal. ( Besides, I always liked big girls).

In another thread, I was talking about this very thing, meaning pictures of us just like the ones you have posted.
Very informative, good instruction, and you have demonstrated the skill and techniques ( even on calling upon a professional) to transform a " huge, burley construction worker" into a very gorgeous doll, that would "pass" anywhere, and anytime.

Love it Dana. You have my vote !!

Love

Ahhh, Dana. Very nice pics as usual. And you are fortunate in all the makeover contacts you have. There is some courage there to make those contacts, you know? So next time ... should you choose to accept the mission ... drive home all prettied up and sit in your own chair for awhile!!!!

Well, actually this time she came over to my house, so I got to stay dressed for a bit longer than normal. She tried to get me to go out to dinner with her all done up - but I chickened out :)

Yes I like the shorter blonder wig.... it's not too blonde

LOVE the nails. I am so jealous... I teach art and my nails a probably the wost for wear of all the girls here.

I need a french maid who can do nails.

DanaJ
12-23-2004, 08:39 PM
Donna - LOL! Yeah, I should but I don't think I'm ready for that yet :) How about PMing me or YM me and you can kick me in the butt for not going...

Celeste, I can actually do nails a bit, I have practiced a little on my previous nail tech. I have always wanted to visit Oz too ;)
