A friend of mine was planning the first edition of her colourful online magazine,Ardent, and I had the privilege of being featured in it. For once, I wasn’t writing for the magazine. My role was simple: get dolled up and pose for photo shots. Since we were all to be ‘el naturelle’, I stretched my hair at the salon and headed to another friend’s beauty studio for the makeup session. From then on, it was a matter of hanging out with a bunch of cool and beautiful lady friends. Having the touch of a professional make-up artist has a way of making even a beautiful woman look more gorgeous and making everyone want a snap shot of their beautiful self. So I got to play armature photographer taking pictures of friends with their phones.
Though it seemed like fun, it soon turned into something meaningful as I found myself being helpful in organizing the ladies being transported to the photo-studio of another friend of mine where I ended up playing hair-stylist on set. What started at 10:30am ended up taking the whole day with me as the last person to be photographed. How best to end my day than a meal of Scotch Egg, Cake and Ice Cream. Now I not only looked pretty, I felt pretty for being helpful. To end the day, I kept up my appearance to impress hubby when he returned from work and when he saw how pretty I was, he went ‘wow’. But these amateur shots of me and a few others are nothing compared to the professional shots taken.
