Ok, some of you will think I'm silly, or even stupid. That's ok. But my friend called me today to tell me she saw my picture in Rite Aid, right when you walk in, near the makeup. So I run up there, and there it is. I almost cried!!! I talked to the manager; she took my name and number so I can have it if they take it down, but she says it will be up for a long time. I bought a disposable camera, and took pics, since I broke my camera.

Here it is. Sorry it's a horrible pic but it was a great moment for me. I've always wanted to be one of those girls you see in the beauty/makeup areas while shopping.

One dream down...many more to go! big_smile

Thanks everyone. I called Bruce, who shot it, obviously since the shot is in my port. Got his VM but I'm sure he will call back soon.

Very cool. Congratulations. Sorry I don't have something typically sarcastic to say. Sometimes life calls for smiles by genuinely being happy for someone instead of by making a snide comment.

Damn, AT. I'm so happy for you. You truly deserve all of your dreams to come true. But, doesn't it seem so surreal to see yourself plastered all over the ace? Photoaphers don't get the exact feeling. Since it's their product and not their face. I got nervous and almost couldn't talk for ten minututes the first time I saw my image on a pster. (there were also three other guys in the image, but still...)

Keep dreaming. Is going to keep coming alive.

Thanks again everyone...

I could still cry...

when I wrote down my name and number, my hand was shaking.

I have a gig tomorrow. I'm never going to sleep tonight, lol. And I forgot all about lunch and dinner.

If you are serious,

my family checked out 2 other Rite Aids, and so far, they don't have it.

But it's a part of the display. I don't see them taking it down...but if they did, I would be honored to. (Does that make sense? My brain is totally not working, seriously.)

The manager said it's not a seasonal thing. It's a part of the store display.
