Hidden Message

A few years ago, there was a scandal that suggested advertisers were hiding messages in pictures to subconsciously influence innocent consumers into even greater avarice.

Thursday night, out to celebrate, I gazed into my gin and thought -- I know what hidden message I see in the melting ice.

Do you see it?

Speaking of judging by appearance, I am beginning to wonder what image I project. The restaurant wasn't busy, so the bartender served as our waiter. He asked Husband Dearest, if he'd like a beer or a glass of wine. Asked me, if I'd like a lemonade or maybe some iced tea.

I replied, I want a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire Gin and don't be shy pouring the gin.

I swear, he did a double take, then said, a girl after my own heart.

Oh really.

Tim Gunn says, "You can't control how you're perceived, only how you're presented."

Apparently, my presentation is somewhere south of Queen Victoria.

Alas.
