Forget Me Not

Even Hollywood movie stars have days when nothing goes right and glamorous is the last word they would use to describe themselves!

Gene hurries into her dressing room to change into the next costume for the publicity photo shoot, her famous blue eyes still dazzled from the flashing bulbs and Klieg lights. “Only five minutes to change, Dottie!” she says to her happy white terrier, stopping to give her a fond pat. Gene steps out of her gown, sighing with relief as she adjusts the too-low bodice of her exquisite longline bra with its French lace of forget-me-not blue. All during the last shoot she worried about revealing more than anyone had intended!

Does the next gown require the white crinoline or the silky full slip? Gene reaches for the photo schedule and snap! There goes a garter belt! As she fixes that, her fingernail snags and runs the seamed nylons! Gene huffs a wayward curl off her forehead in exasperation, smoothes on another pair, slips into a pair of fluffy mules...and loses a pearl earring! The wardrobe mistress pops her head in. “Miss Marshall, we’re ready...oh dear me, troubles, honey?”

“I’m a mess,” Gene says with a charmingly wry grin as she searches the carpet for her earring.

The woman laughs, “Dear, no matter how messy you feel, even in your dainties you still look like a lady that no one could every forget!”
