Who knew?

Years ago, when I was about to turn 50 years old, I had a TCA peel, which is an acid wash that takes a few layers of your skin off and gets you back to this baby like skin. It not only takes away old dead skin, dark patches, but it also removes for a time the fine wrinkles around your mouth, nose and eyes. Like I said, for a time, as the fine wrinkles did make their way back. A friend of mine gets this done every two years but she has a darker complexion and is often prone to sun spots more than I am.

I posted each day on my blog, showing the progress of the peel and this has turned out to be the #1 reason why people show up at www.dangermond.org – go figure. Today a production company, Glasshead in London, doing a document on TCA peels for Discovery Networks contacted me about using the images from my site. It’s the peel that keeps giving. Who would have thought that what would get me noticed after writing my heart and soul into a blog for nearly seven years would be having my face acid washed.

Whatyagonnado? Where’s the documentary about how to screw up your marriage? How to survive a Federal Flood? How to keep up good cheer in the midst of great opposition? How to renovate a house in post-Katrina New Orleans? How to switch teams successfully? How to survive the loss of your mother? How to adopt the perfect child?

I guess those topics will have to wait.
