Yesterday I was at yet another proceeding wearing another dark suit. Luckily no powdered donut holes were to be found as it was an afternoon proceeding. As an aside, it is not really fun to go to the grocery store with people that read your blog like, say, your brother and his girlfriend. They just end up saying witty things like "stay away from those donut holes," "watch out that has powdered sugar", and "the corn is not giving you the evil eye." Back on point - at a proceeding in a dark suit. In the middle of the proceeding, as one of the in charge people is speaking, I can see and hear one of the guys across from me whispering (not so quietly) about me. I hear snippets like "her glasses" and "see, look at her." I loudly proclaim "I CAN HEAR YOU" which stops them for all of two minutes and they are back at it again, disrupting me and the proceeding. When the person in charge stops speaking, the guy across from me announces to the whole room:
YOU LOOK LIKE SARAH PALIN.
Oh boy. I really look nothing like Sarah Palin. I am pale, she is not. We have different facial features. I have about 1/100 of her hair (seriously my hair is super thin and super fine). So I tell him it is probably the dark suit. My client chimes in with "and your hair is up." But, he was not satisfied, that man. He declares that I do not have the right glasses and that I should put on his client's classes. A man. I repeat "you want me to put on his glasses?" Oh yes, he did. Well, as soon as I put them on, there was a collective gasp from the room and everyone chimed in "oh you DO look like Sarah Palin." The injured party says "maybe if you had a little more poufy hair on top." Thanks?
However, after expressing concern as to whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, I was told I was a beautiful woman so it was a good thing. I was also told that I was much more smarter than Sarah Palin. I will take that as a compliment. Sarah probably will not.
Then they asked me to do math and my reign as a really smart beauty queen came to a screeching halt.

marketing gurl - yes he did, but considering he wears jogging suits there, he pretty much didn't care.
