A Little More Truth in Advertising .. and in Real Life Too!

Membership certainly has its privileges .. and the bonus plan has a little bit extra too!

I do not really have many captions in reserve at the moment .. February was a bit of a mental health month for myself, and March is set up to be the same where I have to deal with things I would prefer not to if at all possible, so I am making things often on "the fly" as the last few captions have been.

I don't necessarily view this as a disadvantage though, because it's like doing an improv comedy sketch, or just jamming out with a few friends musically .. often you can get some deep satisfaction from just being creative, regardless of whether anything fruitful comes out of the exercise. And so far, I've been good enough where I don't mind posting the captions here without a delay.

And this one is no exception. I just went to a few of my favorite amateur sites, and I thought that this photo would work really well, and there were some colors I could bring out in the text setting that would make it pop, no matter what I came up with. The model, Alaya from Southern Charms, is also a great muse to work with when I want to get inspired, and this time, without her trademark amazing legs in pantyhose and heels making an appearance at all! 

What I've noticed when making captions the way I have these last few times is that it's a much more visceral and "in the moment" plot that is very direct. The only idea I had in mind was that she was definitely shopping at BJ's Wholesale club .. I could tell because that is a "house" brand, and I recently joined and started shopping at one about 15 minutes from the apartment. Since I'm living by myself now, it isn't necessarily convenient to shop in bulk, but there are still some things that are definitely worth it, and since I split the membership with a friend, it works out to like 25 bucks for the year.

So I knew that at some point, the BJ would come up, and why not just write until you find out what the punch line is going to be? I did that, and then changed a sentence or two afterward, and WHAM! You are now reading it a few hours later. It feels good to not worry about something that much .. if people will like it as a trade caption, will the readers enjoy it, etc .. I've made me peace that it is what it is, and let the chips fall where they may. I need to start living my life that way too. One day at a time, I guess!

We've got ourselves a blog exclusive, so chat up the caption down below, and remember, I am still offering a AMA (Ask Me Anything!) so feel free to do so there, and I'll do my damnedest to answer!
