I have several L-S products now, but I have yet to really use them all. Mostly I\'ve been concentrating on AE/w (going to try out the products one by one so I can see the effects of them individually before I attempt to mix anything), and I almost always wear PCC. The last 2 times I\'ve gone out in public with AE (I work from a home office so I don\'t leave the house every day), I\'ve noticed that people (women especially) have been friendlier, and I\'m getting more attention from men than I usually do...
Tuesday I spent all morning out photographing flowers in 80+ degree weather, and stopped by CiCi\'s Pizza for lunch. I don\'t think I was looking *bad*, but I definitely looked like I\'d been out working for a few hours (grungy jeans, cut up athletic style t-shirt, hair not even brushed at that point, makeup suffering, etc). As I had passed the pay point and was starting in the buffet line, I noticed this man over at one of the registers (customer) staring at me. I had been standing closer to him just before, when I was still paying (probably about 5 feet then), and I didn\'t notice him staring then (although I was a little distracted with the paying and all), but when I was starting the buffet line (probably about 8-10 feet away), he was obviously staring. When I smiled at him, he looked away quickly (as if he realized he\'d been caught), then looked back at me. I went about my business at that point, but he watched me for couple of minutes like that, until he\'d finished paying for his order and left (take-out). Then I decided to wander next door to Sally\'s to check out the BTZ line that you guys raved so much about. Now I should tell you that I go into Sally\'s periodically but not enough that the people who work there know me. As I\'m walking around the store trying to remember the name of the product line (BTZ, but I\'d forgotten to write it down so I hoped I\'d just know it when I saw it), the sales lady was *really* friendly and helpful. *This*, I do NOT usually get in Sally\'s. She asked if she could help me find anything, and then took me straight to the BTZ section when I told her it was comparable to Tigi\'s Bedhead. It was near the back of the store, so once she\'d shown me to the spot, she went back to her work area but kept chattering about how much she likes the products and don\'t miss the coupons, and oh here\'s another line you might like and they even have a free gift, etc... are you new in town? (!!??) So, I said no, and we chatted for a few more minutes. Well, I didn\'t end up buying anything that day b/c I couldn\'t remember which products you guys had recommended. Oh, I had on 2 drops of AE/w (one on wrists and one behind ears) and about 6 inches of PCC (god, I LOVE that stuff!) that day.
Ok, then today I had on the same combination, except three drops of AE (one on each wrist and one behind ears). I was just going to the tanning salon, so I didn\'t put on any makeup or worry about my hair and had on running/yoga type pants and a t-shirt. Let\'s just say I wasn\'t exactly looking my best today. Anyway, after I tan I look like I have a sunburn for about 3 hours (due to the tingle factor in the lotion, not an actual sunburn), so add that to the image and that\'s what I looked like when I walked into Sally\'s today. As soon as I walked through the door, the guy who works there asked me how to pronounce the name of my car (he\'s a real cutie, BTW), so I told him (it\'s a red 2003 Tiburon, 6 speed MT 6 cyl., leather seating, etc), and kept walking toward the BTZ section. [Background: I don\'t ever assume a guy is hitting on me unless he\'s being obvious about it, or persistent, and I get comments about my car all the time so this didn\'t seem odd to me] Well I\'d been back there looking at the products for less than 30 seconds when he shows up again and asks if I need help with anything. I had forgotten my list and there was one that I couldn\'t remember then name of so I told him and he\'s standing there trying to help me narrow it down. Finally he gave up the pretense and just started talking to me. Here\'s me, making a valiant effort to figure out which product I was forgetting (it was the Super Sexy Styling Sauce btw) and picking up random products in the process- I must have looked like an idiot. Anyway, the conversation would down and he started to walk away when he turns and comes back asking if I work at the hospital b/c I look familiar. This starts up another conversation which ends with him getting my name and IM information (exchanged). So I get home and add him to my contacts, and I wasn\'t home for more than an hour when he comes online. We chatted for hours- longer than I\'ve chatted with anyone in a long time. Anyway, he mentioned that he\'d seen me in there a couple of times (I asked him to open a bottle of Snapple for me last time- had been struggling with the d@mn (\"d@mn\") thing for about 10 mintues and he just pops it open) and had wanted to ask me out but it didn\'t seem professional to be macking on the customers. LOL! So I asked him what persuaded him to talk to me this time and he said \"for some reason i seemed unusually drawn to you\" and \"something about you turned me on today\" (after talking to him for a while it seems as though this was true the first time he saw me too, but I thought it was interesting that he phrased both of these comments as specific to today). That\'s *gotta* be a hit. Woohoo! Sweet. Anyway, I\'m seeing him later today (since it is now morning), so I\'ll we\'ll see how the AE+PCC works in closer quarters. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Just thought I\'d share my story!
