Mychal: a Bellingham High Senior

She was checking out the dresses before settling into the makeup artist’s chair and I was asking random questions.  Very random questions.  It’s what I do to start conversations and break the awkward ice.

“What do you think of the color yellow?”

She poked her head around the corner, stared at me like I had lost my mind, and tried to figure out the point of my question.  If I’d been holding a yellow dress or suggesting yellow shoes, it would’ve made sense. I wasn’t going to make it that obvious, though; that’d be too easy.  I wanted a theoretical answer to my theoretical question.

The pause was brief.  So brief, I decided to not ask any more probing questions: she’s too intellectual.

“Well, my teacher told me that yellow is the color of cheerfulness and if you wear it, that’s how people will think of you.”

Suddenly, I wished I was wearing yellow. 😉

Yes, Mychal, that actually does make sense.  But know what else makes sense?  Coral is a beautiful color and when you wear it,  people stand in awe of your gorgeousness.  The end.

In a collaboration with Gown & Glove Bridal Consignment and Love Beauty Bellingham, I hung out with and photographed fabulously beautiful Whatcom County high schoolers. This story is part of a series.
