Evelynella, Queen of the Ball?  (Contest)

Virtual Halloween Costume

Everyone can identify with the Cinderella story, where she was visited by her Fairy Godmother and with her magic wand, Cinderella became the bell of the ball, complete with fine clothes, as she was taken to the ball in a beautiful carriage that was transformed from a pumpkin.  Well, you know the rest of this delightful story.

Most women would like to fantasize being Cinderella, but what about that stroke of midnight, when everything returned to its previous state?

This is a different take on what happened as I became Evelynella.  The following video shows what was not portrayed in the story. The evening was delightful, as I danced throughout the evening and met a real Prince (did you know Larry and I met at a dance?).  My evening couldn't have gone any better, but as the clock started to strike twelve o'clock midnight, I ran out of the castle so fast, I lost one of my shoes, but was able to jump in the carriage that would take me back home to my previous, not so elegant lifestyle.

 

Evelyn, as Cinderella, or now “Evelynella”

 

Sometimes, we see what someone else has and long for what we have been told about them, or have seen their best and outward appearance, only to find out that it stinks and is not what it appears.  The same goes for Real Estate. It's better that we create our own dreams and strive for them, instead of envying what other Agents have accomplished.  We can learn a lot from Evelynella, as she showed us that not everything is as we imagine.

Thank you Kimo Stowell , for hosting this Halloween contest.  It was a lot of fun playing virtual dress-up and deciding on a charactor, although the pumpkin was a bit wet and slimy after the stroke of midnight!
