Day 1645: A sort of magic in not knowing you can't.

Variation3, classic print, collage & digital

I came across this picture yesterday 

for Throwback Thursday, me at 19.

 

I had been selected as member of Mademoiselle's College Board.

Mademoiselle was a fashion magazine published 

from 1935 through 2001. 

 I entered in my freshman year and was accepted.

I thought about this for quite a while today, 

trying to conceive my mind set at that time

and the bravery to even apply.

As I got older I began to realize odds & limitations etc.

But, there is a sort of magic in not knowing that you can't.

. . .

But, because I was selected ... 

during the summer before my Sophomore year 

Mademoiselle Magazine sent me to Bullock's Wiltshire 

where I was outfitted with my official college board uniform. 

The striped v-neck sweater & a skirt that I thought was divine.

Then to the George Masters for a hair styling. 

He was famous & even looked like a movie star.

He asked what I wanted & seemed pleased that I left it to him.

Next they took the photo (below) & then I was official.

. . .

Neither Diane or I were selected for a guest editorship.

But I was hired by Ball Stores and Seventeen Magazine,

 

which provided great college jobs & experience.

. . .

What about you? Were you braver earlier than now?

Just wondering?
