So....Missy came across a GROUPON....

for skin injectables, fillers, etc...
and the deal was SO COMPELLING, that she figured she'd check it out...
for it NEVER hurts to gather info on injectables when you re a woman over 35 !
She called the office listed on the GROUPON page,
and the only time available for a "consultation" was verrrrry, verrry early in the morning....
(Missy had never been an EARLY MORNING kinda gal...)
Nonetheless....
the GROUPON was "calling her name"...
no question about it...
So, she took the absurdly early appointment for the next day...
The alarm rang at the CRACK of dawn...
She rolled sluggishly out of bed....
threw on a pair of old sweats and some inside-out teeshirt...
got in the car, and drove the half hour to the Drs office....
Now, here's the thing....
I'm gonna try VERY HARD not to be UN--- PC right now...
Missy knew the neighborhood where the good Dr was located...
and knew it to be predominately ASIAN....
So, she ASSUMED that the Dr would be ASIAN...
How to explain this??   
mmm...
In light of this assumption,
she further ,
made the RASH SWEEPING GENERALIZATION that
the DR would be a "mad scientist" type....
nerdy....tiny....
LOL
and that he would be focused SOLELY on the injectables...
but NOT on HER particularly ...or on how she was dressed, etc....
My point is that it was NOT her finest hour, vis a vis her appearance...
NOT by a long shot !!!
So...
IMAGINE her surprise when FREAKING,  ""DR Mc STEAMY""
came out to greet her !!
GORGEOUS !!!
A DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, 6'5", plastic surgeon who did the injectables on the side...
(NOT Asian !!)
She suddenly felt EXTREMELY self conscious,
and WISHED that she had AT LEAST brushed her hair....her teeth....whatever...

I really have NO IDEA why I'm sharing Missy's silly, little story with you !!
(The injectables were administered brilliantally, by the way !)

IS IT ALL RELATIVE ?

What makes a traumatic situation real and not somehow sensationalized or exaggerated ? What constitutes real trauma ? Is it all relative ? I...
