This one started as a simple makeover clip. However, after discovering the song “Turning 40″ by Stewed Roots on the “In The Middle Of This” album I was reminded that every decade is a transition. I hope you enjoy. Thank … Continue reading
MAKEOVER! I didn’t know I could look like this anymore
Nancy found herself unexpectedly single after 22 years in a committed relationship. She was about as tough of a nut to crack as any midwestern woman who had been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt could be. I’m a … Continue reading
MAKEOVER! More Polished, Professional and Sophisticated
