After my last post it is time to lighten up again.

I have found a fun new hobby.  Traveling on the bus each day I sometimes get bored if I have nothing to read, so I now do makeovers on people.  Not just women of a certain age but of all ages. My first makeover was a doozy. She was a young woman in her early twenties who I assume does not like to shop and does not own a mirror. I will start from the bottom up. She wore boots that looked like brown paper bags with fur trim, grey sweatpants that were at least two sizes too big, and a ski jacket in a red, black, and white abstract check design. Hopefully it was warm as that would be the only good thing about it. Then there was the hat. This was the most atrocious looking excuse for a hat.  It was a knitted hat in a rainbow of pink, mauve , and turquoise, (went really good with the coat) with a pom pom on top and two more on ties under the chin, and ear flaps. Really, is she four? Is she going tobogganing? No self respecting woman should wear such a hat. No self respecting four year old would either. I knew this makeover would be rewarding if only for my benefit. I could see the potential as this was an attractive girl with flawless skin, pretty eyes, and perfectly shaped brows. I can only guess at hair colour as it was completely hidden under that hideous hat. So from the bottom up again. I visualized her in knee length leather boots, skinny jeans or leggings with a tunic style top, a knee length black down coat, the new slim line kind belted at the waist,  and since she obviously likes colour, a close fitting hat and matching scarf in perhaps a bright red. Cashmere of course. To top it off a cross body bag or tote depending on how much stuff she had crammed into her backpack. I would nix the dark framed glasses, play up the eyes with a little colour and lastly a natural looking lip gloss. Now she was a girl ready to be noticed in a positive way. Too bad it was all in my  mind. I think I may try this new hobby on an unsuspecting male next time. So many subjects so little time. Tell me about your secret hobbies.
