Use Lipo and Laser to Keep the Mirror From Scaring You

My cousin is from Sudbury, Canada, which I think is about a 5 hour drive NORTH of Toronto.  I am from Houston,Texas, which I think is just about an hour’s drive north of the equator.  Not sure why, but we became best friends the first time we met.  We would not see each other for years but it was like we had not been apart when we did get together.

She was the one who introduced me to a Canadian comedy show called SCTV.  It seemed to be the Canadian answer to Saturday Night Live.  One of the characters was Count Floyd, the vampire host for Monster Chiller Horror Theatre.  The Count Floyd character was funny because it was a regular TV station guy who had to take on this job as a host for a weekly “horror” show but all the movies that were shown were just plain bad and not scary.  Count Floyd had to continually try to sell how scary the movies were.

He wasn’t very good.  Sometimes he would be talking to a person off camera, not realizing he was live, and after watching the movie clip he would say, “Is that it?”  Then, realizing the camera was back on him, he would go into his fake Transylvanian accent and say, “ooooooh, isn’t that scary, kids?”  Hilarious!

I don’t know why I still remember Count Floyd and those goofy skits.  But I still do remember them from time to time, especially around Halloween.  In recent years, I remember staring into the mirror and thinking maybe there is something scary staring back at me.  It was like I was staring into a carnival mirror that was distorting my image.

I love Halloween.  I love to dress up and go to costume parties.  I love to see the creative costumes other people create and wear.

Christmas is still my favorite holiday, but Halloween is a close second.  I think it is because you have the opportunity to be creative.  I have enjoyed cutting scary faces into pumpkins.  Some years we have put three or four pumpkins out because we had so many great ideas.

I like helping my kids come up with costume ideas.  My kids have been a movie popcorn box, a fish tank, a robot, and even a stick man (black clothing with glow sticks – very cool outfit!)  I like coming up with my own outfits as well.  I have been a vampiress, a cowgirl, and a witch.  My husband and I have been Ken and Barbie.  In my heavier days I have hidden my body by dressing up as a green M&M.  Yes, going to the bathroom was just as difficult as you are imagining it would be.

In more recent years, I still have loved Halloween but felt stressed about what to wear.  Sure, I live in Humble, so I do own cowboy boots and a hat.  But going as a cowgirl year after year gets a little boring…for everybody.  I want to dress up as something funny or scary, with just a hint of sexy.  This is the first year in a long time where I feel I can do that.  I can wear an outfit that shows off a little skin to add just the right amount of spice to make people want to look at my outfit a little more.

And I like that I have the confidence to wear such an outfit.  All it took was a visit to Lipo and Laser.  The free consultation started me on my way.  Laser liposuction (SmartLipo) was just what I needed to lose those last few pounds.  SmartLipo and the expert skill of Dr. David Carpenter gave me the body I wanted, the body I knew I still had.

So this year, don’t stand in front of the mirror each day and feel like you’re staring at a carnival mirror.  Get the image you want!  Get that slightly sexy costume you want.

Dr. Carpenter and the Lipo and Laser staff got me to the point where I felt I could get more daring with my Halloween costume and this year, there won’t be anyone saying, “ooooooh, isn’t that scary, kids?”

Until next time,

Dee

P.S.  I am sooooo glad I don’t live in Canada.  Showing skin at the end of October is likely to get frostbite in uncomfortable areas!
