Did someone say Runway Model?

I just found out that I was nominated and won a spot at Project Pink!  This is a fashion show for breast cancer survivors.  I will get a makeover, HAIR, CLOTHES  and MAKE-UP!  You could have nominated yourself or someone could nominate you.  I was talked into nominating myself.  For me, that's a hard thing to do, to talk about how much "I" deserve something when there are others who deserve it too.  The nomination was due around the time when I wasn't emotionally feeling that great about myself, so I couldn't and didn't do it.  I figured, I'd just go to the show and have a good time.

Next thing I know, Denice at the Cancer Center tells me I won a spot in Project Pink.  I said "how did I, I didn't submit anything", she said I know, so I nominated you.  Again, the people at the Cancer Center are so wonderful, I feel so blessed to have met everyone of them.

So on with the makeover!  I can't believe how involved this is.  We hear that the show "Better CT" will be there to shoot a segment on it.  Starting next week, a 3 hour appointment at the Red Door Boutique in East Hampton to pick out clothes/outfits!!!!  A 90 minute appointment at the EG Salon in Middletown for hair and make-up.  Not sure what they plan on or can do with this head of mine!!!  I'm sure they'll do wonders with the wig I have.  I'm not ready to let my own hair all hang out yet.  The Cancer Center also wants to show a 10 minute clip before the show with some of us telling our stories with breast cancer.  They gave us a list of questions, we can pick one or two if we want and we will be videotaped.  They aren't making us do this, so I haven't decided whether or not I can do this.  I'd get so emotional.  Talking in front of people, let alone videotaped, if one of my fears, so why not try and conquer this fear now??  No time than the present. It's a new beginning for me now.  So, if any of you want to see if I faced and conquered one of my fears, come to the show and see!

The show is Thursday, April 26th at the River House in Haddam from 5:30 to 8:30.  Tickets are $40 a person.  This is a great fundraiser for the Cancer Center.  If you'd like to go, I can give you information on tickets.  By then, I'll be back to work, so I thought I'd just leave work early and go to the show, hell what do I know, I've never been in one before!!!  I just found out last night that the salon wants us there at 11am for a day of pampering before the show.  Imagine me asking my manager for a day off before I even get back to work.  But as I see it,  it's part of the healing process!
