Pendants Are Not Magical But They Can Create Illusions. I suppose I always knew this but I recently discovered why. It was at a restaurant when I came to the realization that pendants do hold a certain power. Perhaps not a power, but a definite influence. I had just decided what I would order when I noticed a couple enter the restaurant. Or rather, her. She had completely captured my attention. It was the area directly below her chest that drew my eyes. Amidst a colorful pattern of delicate pinks and purples, she had two matching pendants that completely took my attention.
Her date followed perhaps a bit too closely. No doubt he did not want to take a chance that another might stop her. It was easy to see that he was proud to be at her side. She did have presence. He passed but it was her image I kept in my memory. Everything about her was perfectly in place. The complete outfit matched perfectly. Each piece of clothing and jewelry was tasteful and stylish. She was a lovely vision in shades of purple and pink.
Everything she wore matched perfectly and complimented each other so well. Her accessories blended beautifully with her wardrobe. Even her hair was nicely arranged. She walked past as if she was used to making an appearance. She walked fast enough to allow only a glance.
Not only did she put together a perfect outfit, but she had done it in the hardest combination of colors. Purples and pinks are not easy to work with. Most women would never even try. Yet, this woman had completely pulled it off. She pulled off something else too, but I was not sure what.
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?
