MORE HISTORY

THAT LAST ENTRY BROUGHT UP MORE AND OLDER MEMORIES ...
WHEN I WAS SIX MONTHS OLD I CAN REMEMBER MY MOTHER AND MY UNCLE ( WHO WAS A PHOTGRAPHER) USED TO TAKE PICTURES OF ME AND ENTER THEM INTO BABY CONTESTS IN HOPES OF GAINFUL INCOME. I CAN CLEARLY REMEMBER BEING PLACED IN AN ENAMELED TUB THE KIND YOU PLACE ON A TABLE AND WHICH WERE USED FOR BABY BATHTUBS IN THOSE DAYS AND THEY PUT A BAR OF IVORY SOAP IN FRONT OF THE TUB AND TOOK MY PICTURE WHICH THEY ENTERED IN THE IVORY BABY BATH CONTESTS.
I AM SURE I DIDNT WIN BECAUSE I WAS POOR FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AFTER HAHHA.
I REMEMBER A LOT OF BABY HISTORY, ONCE WHEN I WAS 3 YEARS OLD I HEARD A LADY TELL MY MOM THAT I HAD SUCH LONG EYELASHES AND HOW VERY BEAUTIFUL THEY WERE, I TOOK A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND CUT THEM OFF. I HAVE NO MEMORY OF WHY BUT JUST KNOW THAT MY MOM SCREECHED AS SHE FEARED I MIGHT POKE MY EYES OUT!!
WHEN I WAS 4 I LEARNED TO SING "PEG O MY HEART" A SONG THAT WAS POPULAR THEN, I REMEMBER PEOPLE AROUND ME MAKING THOSE EYES OF INTEREST .. WAS I GONNA MAKE MONEY SINGING? LOOKS.
HAHHA
BABY MOVIE STARS WERE A BIG THING THEN. I WAS A BEAUTIFUL BABY I HAD PLATINUM BLONDE HAIR AND BIG HAZEL GREEN EYES IN A FAMILY THAT WAS HISPANIC LOOKING. PROBABLY A GENETIC GIFT FROM MY GERMAN JEWISH FATHER.
