Day 1313 - Photo Shoot

Tomorrow I have to get my glam on ...

I have been contacted by Canberra Weekly Magazine who want to run a story on Cheer Chick Charlie which will include an author photo shoot.  They suggested this might end up as a cover story.  Wow! So yesterday I got my instructions and the shoot will take place with a professional photography studio who specialise in glam photos. Eeek! I am starting to wish I'd gone shopping and organised a trip to the beautician, hairdresser and make-up artist.



But alas time and money aren't allowing for such luxuries right now so I will have to settle with clothes that are well worn and a beauty regime at my own bathroom mirror.

It's time to dig into the Deep Fried Toolbox:

Hair:

• Washed and conditioned and let to almost fully dry naturally. Add velcro rollers for fullness and then use the flat iron to give the hair some control
• Use mascara to cover up any greys
• Spray with a shitload of hairspray

Make-up:

• Estee Lauder foundation with fancy stuff in it that helps smooth out a Deep Fried face
• Bronzer to give the illusion of some youthful glow
• An eyebrow pencil on standby in case my eyebrows disappear
• some natural eyeshadow tones
• A lipstick with some "wow"

Clothes:

• I'm not allowed to wear block white or block black and patterns can't be too fancy.
• Black dress pants, cream top and button up red blazer (option one)
• A black and white patterned dress with hot pink through it (option two)
• Red dress with black shoes and fancy stockings (option three)
• First two options have already broken the "not allowed" rules! 
• Panic

Beauty regime:

• Bath tonight with special oils 
• Dehair face, legs and under arms
• No alcohol
• A day of fruit and veggies
•  Lots of water
• Cold green tea bags on eyes in the morning
• Warm water with lemon as a kick starter

Exercise:

• Exercise my smile muscles

Have I missed anything?

But seriously - what the hell am I going to wear (that I haven't already been photographed in before)?

Arrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
