Ciao Bella!

It’s amazing what straight hair and contacts can do. I walked into a pizzeria (Famiglia Pizza) that I usually go to, today. I said hello and ordered my slice. The guy was very polite and playful. I of course couldn’t help but smile.

When I’m done eating and start heading out he says “ciao bella.” Although this guy doesn’t usually serve me he’s always there and always sees me come in and order. Yet, this is the first time he’s been this nice.

What kills me is that when I have my glasses on and my hair is in a pony tail, I’m lucky to get a second glance, but today I even got doors held for me. Crazy how this world works.

I can’t say I wasn’t flattered, it’s always nice to be seen. I just wish looks didn’t play such a huge role in the way people treated me.
