Hello,

I haven't posted or been very active lately... I appologize. I came to lurk from time to time however. Now, I feel like I'm barging in the conversations with this sudden post, but I so want to share with you my new wig and fall look.

I have been through a very difficult time lately. But I feel I am actually now being born, coming out of my shell. Anger can yield to some good things too.

I spare to you the circumvolute details of how I came to make the following discovery, nevertheless, here it is: butt enhancing shapewear + booty lifting jeans! OMG! Ok, maybe I'm late in this game, but it's making all the difference in the world to me now. See pics below.

1 - New wig. Not expensive, so we'll see how long it will last. It's called Gabriela from Janet Collection in the color Golden Blonde (although it is a fiery, coppery red really). I plucked the part and front to try to make it more realistic, but don't know still if the result looks believable. I'd love your input of this one.

2 - Turuoise tweed pencil with a Marciano bodysuit, some big buckle belt and Naturalizer golden loafers. I'm also wearing a silicone padded brief shapewear here.

3 - For the sake of comparison, same skirt, no shapewear, different hair (mine).

4- 3/4 classic "coat" by Only: this is definitively a transitional item though, more of a jacket than outerwear even, as it is not lined and quite thin.

5 - Columbian made stretchy booty lifting jeans from a line called Levanta Cola. I've never had such a shape! And to think all my life I thought I had to drop weight... when in fact I needed to gain some.

6 and 7 - Another pair of booty-lifting jeans, front view. As you can see, it's business as usual from this angle, but...

8 - You guys, I am NOT popping my booty out. This is how it looks with the padded shapewear and special jeans! They are made with extra fabric in the behind region.

9-10-11: more backviews.

So call me crazy. I don't care if the shapewear sometimes gets to feel a bit too warm. I don't care if people say I'm too old. I LOVE IT! (I feel a little bit like Meryl Streep in Death Becomes Her, after she drank the potion... I just hope I'm not heading for the same fate lol!).
