An Unlikely Beauty Queen

Yesterday I subbed at a nearby middle school. The actual classes were fun and no one had to be written up, but I wore a pair of sandals that ruined my left foot. It was killing me as I walked in the local mega sized drug store and spotted two comfortable stools in the cosmetic department. Women in bright pink coats were giving free facials and hand treatments to customers sitting in those chairs. Not wanting to pass up a freebie, and needing to get off my throbbing foot... I sat in the chair ... You can probably guess the rest of the story.... But before you laugh too hard.... the gorgeous women in bright pink coats assured me that this was the best product on the planet... it came from France and aren't all French women beautiful??? Nothing would plug my aging pores and they just happen to be giving coupons worth $9.00 AND if I bought one product at a time I would get a $10.00 coupon from the store after my first purchase.... which I could use on the second one.... Not to mention the beautiful bright pink cosmetic bag I would get for free... and the free samples all brightly packaged to tempt me even further... and the Beauty Club Member Card. I spent so much money that I only need one more pink dot before I get another free coupon for 10.00 towards more cosmetic purchases. And when I walked in that store all I wanted was a bottle of ibupropen for my aching feet....
