I was really into posting pics on Flickr for a while, makeovers and photo apps as my journey to the egg crack was happening, you can see some of them if you visit my profile here. It’s a bunch of treated pics from everywhere else but I think the only un-FaceApp’d or youcam’d pics are from the day at BWBG.

I will add a couple caveats: You still will probably be jealous of clients she has who you think look better than you did, especially if you’re in the same garment...just like in any other situation unless you are really lucky some people are just more blessed genetically. But you will probably look better than you’ve ever looked in your life.

And I finally related to models who said ‘it’s hard work’. Sitting in the chair getting made up is fun, but once you’re up doing the poses she really makes you work it, and somehow captures pics of you looking relaxed on an armrest or some such pose that look like you’re relaxed and not totally on edge about how every bit of you is posing for the shot.

And a tip: not only do I regret not videoing the makeover I wish I had taken more video of each look, I took a few bursts but having video helped me deal with being in the closet especially when covid came along and dressing time mostly went away for months.
