Vanité beaucoup plus tard.

SO how'd the ol' chemical peel go?

Am I disfigured for life or a beautiful butterfly that has emerged from its chrysalis?

Neither.

I am definitely lacking in the freckle department now and I have a weird hot-pink patch of skin on my left cheekbone. When I put a little cheekstain on my right cheek, I look positively symmetrical!

Was it worth a week of hiding and rude stares from strangers?

Meh. While I feel I do look refreshed, I don't think a week recoup time was a fair trade...

And thank you, all you sweeties, who think I'm nuts, too! I am, you know.
