...still had these pictures," she says. "Then I was touched that he still had them." Even more effective than the appeal to her heart was the appeal to her vanity. "I liked the way I looked back then. Your body changes as you grow older," she says. Plus, her boyfriend was very supportive of her decision. "He thought it was pretty cool.
