Mandarin Gypsy Slob
My intentions were good. This morning I took a long bath, deep conditioned my hair and gave myself a facial. So, what went wrong? How did I end up looking like a Mandarin Gypsy slob?
Things started to go bad when I didn't rinse all of the conditioner out of my hair. It turned out sticky, so I had to pull it back. I next used a new kind of body moisturizer that , once applied, smelled like insect repellent. I should have taken a shower and started over, but there wasn't time.
Next, I decided to wear a pajama top to work. It's Chinese style with a Mandarin collar and embroidery down the front. Instead of the matching bottoms (It was just too cute), I wore denim scrub pants. Denim goes with everything right? Not in this case, but I wore it anyway.
My clothes were wrinkled, but I didn't really care. All I needed to complete my outfit was a safety pin because one of the snaps down the front broke.
Feeling naked with my hair pulled back, I wore my largest, flashiest earrings to compensate. They hung down almost to my shoulders with amber, red and purple stones.
So, with grimy sticky hair, stinky skin, wrinkled mismatched clothes held together with a safety pin, I went to work. So, what happened when I got there? A half-dozen people complimented me on my appearance and said that I looked especially nice today. Go figure. (How bad do I normally look?)
