But alas like with every vaca...there is of course one small problem. A few days ago I was flipping through the pages of the album of my last Pike fishing trip, and I realized something. I do not look very womanly when I fish in Canada. As a matter of fact, I look quite frumpy and fat. Now I know this is because of the layers that one must wear to...you know...not DIE of frostbite but still...for the last two or three days, I have been stressing over how to make myself appear more girly while fishing or at least while being photographed with a fish ;)
See...I know you guys don't think about these things, and I always take some pretty girly products along with me when I go...like nice shampoo and conditioner...or nice soap...these are things that make a girl feel good when she gets off the lake after a day of smelling like fish slime and goo. BUT...I want to look like a girl in my photos. I mean whats the use in catching a Monster fish in Canada if the fish is prettier to look at than you in the damn photo. (Okay I know that if I am catching Monster fish in Canada the fish is definately gonna be the awesome part of the photo...but it wouldn't hurt to be a sexy fisherbabe while holding it right?)
I have been asking folks for suggestions...and they have not been too helpful. One friend suggested I wear pink...well I do wear a pink parka but then I just look like a big fat man in a pink parka so that is really not helpful. Another chickie offered to bedazzle my stocking cap...LOL ummmmm yeah probably that's a no!!!! I might want to look like a woman but bedazzling isn't even in my vocabulary...LOL!!!!
You know...sometimes life just isn't fair. Men look so hot when they fish...all manly and dirty and stuff. I do not understand why it is impossible to look like a supermodel while holding a fish...but I am going to figure it out. So I am off to the make-up counter to find some awesome new crap to slather on my face that won't come off and will make me look like Heidi Klum no matter how much fish S**t I have on my face!!! ;)
Happy Shopping All :)

My suggestion would be to ware your big frumpy clothes. And underneath them be all girlyed up. Then all you have to do is take off your coat and sazam! you look like a girl. Or just ware pink under armor:)
ReplyDeleteLOL Ben...I like the idea of Sazam!!! But my under armour is Blue. They had pink but the blue was prettier :)
ReplyDeleteOK Lizzie, here's the deal - The big pink coat may make you look like (in your opinion)a fat Fisherfrump. BUT - there is a benefit to bright colors in photos. The bright colors usually show clear, distinct lines of the fishes outline when you hold them in front of the brightly colored fabric. So you get better fish pics. And, remember, the lakers you're bound to catch may just dwarf you, and no one will be able to see you anyway. Especially if you use the "Secret Lures".
ReplyDeleteYou can be the Fisherbabe in day-to-day life, and the Fisherfrump on your trips to the far North.
Can't wait to read about your adventure and see your Frump pics!
