So just these last couple of months, between working in Alaska and North Dakota, I heard anything from that I look to be about 22 to 48!
That's a wide range, I must be a great actress, where is my Oscar? LOL! Last night at work there were two guys that said they thought was 48, but at the same time they both thought that I was hands down the prettiest girl (well, at 48 I would be more like a mature lady) in there. One of them kept on talking about how good looking he thought I was to everyone around him. He must have had a thing for older women.
So yea, people really do perceive things differently.
Recently I also heard that I am a Victoria's Secret commercial come alive. And somebody also said that when they see my butt they just want to spend all their money. LOL. Besides the regular "oh, you are so pretty/beautiful" etc. And then I had the guy that blurted out "You are 35 on a good day, huh?", while I was on stage. It goes in one ear and out the other.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't frown at compliments. But I don't obsess over getting them or not getting them.
Of course I'd rather look closer to 22 than 48, I am neither btw......lol......but I can't control how people see me.
IF I was 48, I would probably be selling my secret to aging so gracefully to the tabloids right now. Or have my own skin care line.
I understand that guys will tell the girls in the clubs I work at the same compliments, or should I say lines, sometimes. That's why I don't pay too much attention to compliments. Of course some people are very sincere when they tell me something nice about the way I look and that's lovely.
But I also know the difference between compliments and true love. Somebody that is there for me when I feel bloated and have full on angry PMS episodes. Or pick my nose. Or look tired. When I wear some ugly sweats and a t shirt. Act cranky. All that good stuff.
But I guess I don't look that old and worn since there are all kinds of photographers that want to work with me when I go to ........ next month.
Good photographers too. I have already booked a few shoots, going to schedule a few more.
But hey, it's late, I need to get my beauty sleep so I can continue to look like a 22 year old.
DA NANG!
