OUT OF FOCUS: An (un)natural woman

My feet are still aching from the high heels. My fishnets got snagged
in a baby stroller, and taking off eye shadow is akin to stripping
paint off a battle ship.
Yes, on Saturday evening, I daubed on the makeup, squeezed into a
little black dress, smoothed out my luxurious synthetic locks and
competed with 25 other equally deranged cuties – including co-worker
Mark Sage—in a male beauty pageant to raise money for the American
Cancer Society.
The brainchild of Bland County's Strock Family and Friends Relay for
Life team, the second-year Mr. Bland Relay 2008 event generated tons
of cash and tons of laughs inside the Bland High School gym.
Channeling my inner talent-devoid female celebrity, I entered the
competition as Broccoli "oops I did it again" Spears. The field also
included Sofonda Men, Tan ya Hyde, Tomeana Josephina and Lula Jo
Darling.
