...there lived a librarian, who loved Marilyn Monroe films, worshipped at the style altar of Audrey Hepburn, looked her best in fifties-style dresses, and wanted to be Dita Von Teese when she grew up. She loved to read vintage magazines, and in her wilder daydreams reinvented herself as a burlesque star. Only one thing stood in her way. Herself.
She had never had a realistic idea of what she looked like; at sixteen, she was convinced she was huge, and yet when she looks at photographs of herself then, she sees that she was a skinny twig. Although since then she has grown curvy, she stepped upon the scales, and realised she had billowed past curvy....to fat.
She would love to wear stockings instead of tights, and sew herself a wardrobe of pretty, sexy clothes. Alas, she feels that if she wore them now she would look a little ridiculous.
Then, one day, she was in a secondhand bookshop when she stumbled across a treasure. As she held the cornflower blue book in her hands, she just knew it was special. She traced the silver title with her finger; 'Mirror Mirror On The Wall' by Gayelord Hauser, and opened it to see an invitation to beauty.
Upon taking it home and reading it, she decided that a lot of the advice made sense, and decided to use this book as a guide to her makeover into a retro beauty. Gayelord Hauser promises that if you follow his advice for ten days, you will be full of energy, vitality and beauty, and will want to carry on for the rest of your days.
So Monday will be the first of my ten days...
