Way to Go Inventors of Face Tape

Still obsessing over fat-neck photos,  I had a revelation.  We need face tape to suck back the neck fat when you get your picture taken.  I thought I had invented this product, but a quick Google search revealed I was wrong. 

According to Peculiar Beauty, there already is a face tape to elieviate the droopy chin look:   

For the chin life the gauze of tape should be attached just below and behind the ear lobe.  Again, pull the elastic up tight and tie at the back of the head.  You can sew hooks and eyes on the ends of the elastic if you know the exact length you need.

I think all seasoned masters of photography should carry this product in their travel bag.  No woman over 40 should have to be photographed without at least being given the option to artificially restrain yourself for better visual appeal. 

To Look Hot or Not

I spent the day working on my closet:  organizing shirts by color, folding t-shirts and putting them all in one spot.  Monday I'm having my "style consultation."  $100 an hour to have someone come over, and tell me what body parts need camouflage, and what I  should never, ever buy again.

I've come full circle on my opinion about fashion.  I did the Farrah Fawcett hairdo in the 70s, the college sorority girl bob in the 80s, the grey suit with the bow-tied blouse in the 90s, and  the upscale hippy-wear in the holistic new millennium.   

I've shopped like a holic to decompress after a stressful day/week/month of trials, client conflicts, and bookkeeping hilarity (a subject you most definitely DO NOT want to be funny).

In this age of economizing, scaling back, and considering the environment, is it still right to dress for success? 

Will you'all think more highly of me if I stop wearing JC Penney suits?  (Yes- go ahead... refuse to hire me.  I DO wear that Worthington Petite Brand  when it goes on sale. )

Is it more Green and socially conscious to wear Goodwill?  But... will you really feel good about paying me $360 an hour if I sport greasy spots on my Target fall collection?  If I invest in a $300 perfectly proportioned blouse will I stand taller, act smarter and treat other human beings with more civility thus warranting a raise on my hourly rate?

We'll find out Monday after my consult with the trained, fashion professional.
