Wanda08_25_04.jpg

It is "Wanda's Weird and Wacky Wednesday" again. She wanted to check out how she might look a few more years from now. She tossed on a short haired wig, painted her eyebrows on, slash marked the rouge on her cheeks, ran the lipstick out of the lines and added just a bit of lipstick to her teeth. The big dirty glasses are mine. Button up the collar on the shirt and she was there. I tried to Photoshop some wrinkles but it wasn't working.

I have to laugh when I look at this image. When I was putting on My make-up and doing all the things you typically see "old ladies" do, like smear the lipstick out of lines and fail to blend the blush, I found Myself wondering WHY they did that. Well, several months down the road, NOW I know why! My "close-up" vision has finally started to fail Me and the need for bi-focals is just around the bend! I am counting on the kids and grandkids to TELL Me when My make-up is a mess. They better not let Me wander around out in public looking like an old lady with poor vision. (laughing) Wanda

Jeanne I was thinking the same thing NAUGHTY LIBRARIAN! Bill I don't care how hard you try, you could NEVER make Wanda look ole .... Not even with Photoshop. It just isn't that good a peice of software to achive such a thing. LOL Wanda you will make a very good looking older woman one of these days. I love your Wacky Wanda Wed. photo's. Again great job Wanda & Bill

Fun photo... although i am depressed about you TRYING to PS wrinkles onto her and not being able.. Sigh

Wm. Bates		26-Aug-2004 14:27
Yep Wes, you see some of Grandma Betty cuz those are HER pearl earrings!

Richard, the idea for this shot was Wanda's. She is the one that comes up with the weird and wacky ideas most of the time. Usually what we do is one of us comes up with the basic idea. Then as we work on we both collaborate on the refinements. About the only thing I'm totally responsible for is the technical stuff like the lighting, choosing the focal length and making the camera adjustments.

Very clever! Shame on you for making her look old!!

I have been having a peep from time to time to see what Wanda has been up to. Today I think you have “hit the spot” this may be because I am male and 58. Thank you both very much.

On a second thought....Maybe its Wanda that has the imagination and if thats the case...Take alot of vitamins Bill...you have a tigeress by the tail. !

Guest		26-Aug-2004 05:31
Bill, Bill Bill, whatever are we going to do with you? And what is Wanda going to do with you? I bet she shutters at the thought of " What Will He Have Me Do Next?" Do you sleep at night or just stay awake and conjour up these ideas. LOL. Actually Bill, you know I'm kidding with you. Bill you do have one H... of an imagination and whats neat is Wanda puts up with it and goes along with it. Richard
