The 1st Thing I Noticed Was Her Elegant Pendants

I was seated at a table across from my companion when I first saw her. I had just finished studying my menu and had set it back down on the table when something distracted me. It was woman entering the restaurant. I will never forget how impressed I was by this striking woman. She had brushed by so quickly and then she was gone. The first thing I noticed were her pendants.

Her escort followed closely behind. During the few brief seconds I observed him, I noticed how proud he was. He was making it obvious to all that the arresting woman was with him. It was easy to see that they were newly courting. I wanted to look at her longer and appreciate every detail. She really knew how to put herself together. Her jewelry was a pretty combination of purple and pink and they matched beautifully with her pretty blouse. The pendants sparkled somehow, I think it must have had some sort of crystals on it.

I remember thinking how flawless her outfit was. It was nothing overly expensive but the look was so refined and elegant. She must have spent weeks preparing that ensemble.

Not being a person that admires pink and purple together, I was amazed that she was able to pull it off. There was something about this woman but I could not quite put my finger on it.

I thought about the pendants again, which was the first thing I noticed when I saw her. And then it dawned on me. Perhaps I noticed because I am an artist, but I clearly saw the intention. I am sure that I was the only person to know her secret.

The woman did not have an especially attractive face or body. As a matter-of-fact, she was taller tan average and had a belly that protruded more than average. It was the pendant that distracted me. Her magical pendant was leading the eye away from her problem features. Her beautiful pendant had become the focal point of her person. Her exquisite ornament had become a freshly frosted round cake that was now resting on a otherwise lonely cake plate.

She had kept me from realizing her true height, and she had kept me from noticing her belly! She had used the pendants as a clever ornament to present her package. What a terrific secret. Are these the powers of the pendant?
