Made Over in the Click of a Magic Mouse

Wanting to look attractive to a significant other is part of the relationship package. I’ve often stood in front of a mirror; changed clothes four times, put my hair up and then combed it back down. What if I could experiment with a new look and get my honey’s opinion without a potentially devastating haircut or purchasing accessories?
We had the opportunity to find out using a tool on mylifetime.com. We cuddled up together, shared the computer and made changes to my uploaded photo. In three clicks my hair became spiky and green. Well why not add a tiara, eyeglasses and a tattoo? We played around with all of the changes I’d dare only in the virtual world.

“I crown thee princess of the Green Coolies.”

Even though we sat side by side, my honey sent me a text message picture of a dozen virtual roses via cell phone. I chose an MP3 song to dedicate to us.

After the initial fun we managed to be serious and picked out a potential new hairstyle and compared the before and after images.

When the fun ended, I needed to escape the virtual and experience something real, a real kiss and a real cuddle. Later I'll make the real visit to the salon for my new ‘do’. Then I plan to try on all the dresses in my closet, choose my highest heels and then when I’m satisfied, I'll twirl in front of my honey.

“How do I look?” Part of the fun is asking the question with only one answer.

“Sweetheart, you look great in anything.”

THE END
