I am sure we all have memories and stories about events that could have happened, related to CDing, in our younger days, but did NOT because of our own fears, missed opportunities or some other factor that interfered with it. How we regret not following through with an opportunity for a great CD experience follows us around for the rest of our lives. In My case, back in the 60's I was about 13 years old, not really into serious CD (although I played around with Lipstick when left alone at home). My mother's Friend's 19 year old daughter, Barb, was complaining that she had to attend some Librarian's seminar meeting that seriously interfered with her plans. She had thought of sending one of HER friends in her place, but she couldn't make it. Even though all she had to do was sign in and sit through the program. My Mother JOKED to them " Well, You could put Marty in a dress and wig and send him" Everybody got a good laugh at that. I was Horrified! (Not really brave enough to even consider something like that) Admittedly, it would make GREAT fantasy material though
I often wondered what it would have been like to have done it. I COULD have spoke up and volunteered ---provided they would PAY me 10 or 20 bucks to do it.(I would have a GOOD excuse then) but didn't think of it at the time, nor did I have the courage. But looking back, it would have been GREAT fun. I could have imagined getting two or three days to practice and get ready with perfect Makeup, clothing etc.---Perhaps it would have even gotten the CDing out of my system. But it wasn't to be. I was wondering if anybody else had some stories of NEARLY having some great CD experience when younger, but MISSING OUT on it.
I found a virtual Makeover program (Mary Kay) and was doing some experiments with it----when I found a 12-13 year old picture of MYSELF-- it INSPIRED this thread. So I did a makeover on it for fun. Hey, I woulda looked great. It makes me regret missing this chance even more
