In the original “Genesis of Kandi“, we discussed my amazing photo shoot with the incomparable Amanda Richards. Amanda, I understand you will probably never see this, but you are going straight to Heaven. You meant so much to me, all these years later, from one 6-7 hour session. God Bless You!
So I mentioned that I was four completely different girls that day. Girl one, as you can imagine, was a bride. Here are a few looks back at the “other” Kandis!
Look up the word “Joy” in the dictionary and this is what you will see.
Please remember, these pictures were taken in 2015, not more than three months after those hideous Detroit pictures, the birth day of who I am.
We conclude our nod to Genesis with an observation by yours truly. My favorite Phil Collins related songs are what I say are led by the drums. The iconic “In the Air Tonight” is the perfect example. For me, Phil’s “I Don’t Care Anymore” is a superior song. From the Genesis catalog, the songs “Mama” and our feature today “Abacab” are drum dominant songs. A free subscription to anyone who can tell me (without cheating on Google) what Abacab means?
Okay, now you’ve seen girls one and two. Here is girl three!
Then I got goofy! Heisman time!
More to finish the day……
And this is how Amanda sent me out the door, to go to a GNO in the Philly area, I knew not a single soul.
Oh, to be young and pretty like that again……
Time’s up! Abacab is a chord progression, A-B-A-C-A-B.
Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
There’s a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there’s a hole in a window pane
Do you think I’m to blame?
Tell me, do you think I’m to blame?
you’re never there
(When you show it) just stop and stare
(Abacab) he’s in anywhere

I love these!
If someone had told you on that day what you would achieve by today, would you have believed them?
Easy answer there….heck no!
Kandi,
To me it shows what a difference hair/wigs can make , if only I could grow my own hair !
Every 4-6 weeks I have to bite the bullet and make an appointment to have my ( own ) hair cut . The lady is a sweet Lithuanian she’s perfectly OK with me entering her salon as Teresa , I then pop off my wig and place it on it’s stand while does the trim . At the end I always apologize because her work is going to be covered up but them give her a big smile and say , ” That’s better ” once the wig has gone back on . Last time I mentioned that I will need a new wig again soon and did she think I should go a little greyer at my age . She then said but I don’t know how old you are , and then guessed at 50-55 , so I gestured higher with my hands but eventually I had to tell her I would be 72 this year . With that she flopped in her chair saying , ” No way !! ”
Yep wigs do a great job !
We always appreciate you sharing!
KANDI…MY LADY
YES A DIFFERENT WIG CAN MAKE FOR A DIFFERENT LOOK, MOOD, PERSONALITY AND SENSE OF JOY>
