With the image of those pearly whites burned into my memory, I just couldn't help but notice the same photo at a gas station in Colorado when I was there this summer. I can't remember what they were advertising, but it sure wasn't a home.
The same thing happened with another guy in stock photos. So the couple picture was the same in both Utah and Colorado. But have you seen this man?
The man on the left is in so many stock photos, I'm convinced! I first saw him on a billboard, advertising the new Utah Jazz Ticket Buddy promotion. I then saw him on a couple websites. It's weird (a) that I looked at that billboard so closely and (b) that I now see this guy everywhere!
These random photos took my train of thought to glamour shots (chugga chugga choo coo, right?). When I was about 6 years old, my sister Jordan and her best friend (was it Taylor?) got glamour shots. I was really confused because I didn't understand that "shots" was another way to say "photos." I imagined a little of this:
I saw the pictures later (and was really jealous, I must admit, of the blue 80's prom dress, the mounds of hairspray, the red lipstick, and the boa) and thought the glamour "nurses" had given Jordan literal "shots" to make her look like that. I stayed far away from glamour shots because the beauty was just not worth the pain!
And the train of thought made its way to the final destination of funny advertisements. About a year ago I started noticing these outlandish advertisements popping up on Yahoo! mail. I just had to start saving them so that I could, you guessed it, show these beauties to all of you.
The first ad (which I didn't save but instead found the picture on Google) shows the cure for dark circles *IN CASE YOUR EYES LOOK LIKE THIS. They're not going to sell anything!
I'm afraid to say it, but nobody walks around with black football paint underneath their eyes!
And then this is for all those girls out there who are self-conscious about their small lips.
But make sure you don't get the wrong lip plumper! The results could be mortifying.
You could say I'm observant.

You've sold me...I want plump lips. But not like the bottom girl.
The glamour shots were with Kelly Mullins. :)
It's funny that you mentioned that because when we went home for Halloween, Mom had a framed glamour shots photo set up in our room. Quin loved it!
Then, before we left, Asher saw the picture in our room and said, "she's so beautiful to me!"
Those pictures are hilarious!!
Oh yeah! Kelly! Duh.
Wow, that's funny that Mom framed it and put it in your room. That's actually really awesome. Asher says the funniest things. I'm excited to see all of you in about a month!
haha.. great great stuff! I love telling Pierce my train-of-thoughts...(?)
I love how they just photoshopped Angelina's lips. weird. Oh and Stock photos.. like that Real Estate billboard about buying a house as a young couple and I knew the guy and he wasn't even married.
p.s. Whenever I think of Kelli Mullins I think of Jordan's b-day party with Brett, the gymnastics coach, where all the girls stuffed water balloons in their swimsuits.
Katy! i am so happy to find your blog!
wow. you have a great memory with that. amazing! I had never seen your blog. I'm glad I found the link to do so. But the Julia part of your name is throwing me off. Did I miss something?
