We all assumed it was likely to be something like mall photographs with silly hats and a cheesy backgrounds. We found the camera store that provides this service and settled in to watch the few other young girls in front of us have their photographs taken. While watching the girls in front of us transform into bedazzled Asian goddesses, we realized we were in for so much more. We three were ugly western ducklings about to emerge as lovely Asian swans.
After waiting almost an hour for the girls before us to finish their photos, we were up. Each of us received a full face of stage make-up complete with eyebrow shaving, some kind of eyelid sticker that makes your eyes wider, approximately 7 layers of pancake make-up (which only loosely resembled any of our skin tones) and fantastic false eyelashes. Then on to hair; each of us had our own fake hair piece, teasing and hairspray dousing session and emerged with the most gravity defying hairstyles ever. Then, it was time for outfits. We each picked our own hue of two piece traditional dress with various accessories chosen by our dressers (I got the bronze chicken perched on my shoulder - what does that say about me exactly?).
The three of us dazzling ladies had 8 glamorous (and authentically posed) portraits taken. The result is unbelievably stunning if I do say so myself!
It only took two days to removed the make-up!

I have looked at these photos twice now, and my brain still can't comprehend. Amazing. And a tiny bit terrifying.
Have you thought about new careers with a new line of Mary K cosmetics: Glambodia?!
