20/20 is overrated
I don't know.... I talked someone into showing me how to put a picture up here, but now I'm not so sure about my choice. I was going for realistic but not too recognizable, so a half-face shot seemed to fit, but now I wonder if it comes across as wannabe hoochie. Please note that says wannabe; I have no grand delusions here folks, the girls just aren't that big. Oh well, whatever.
At least he gave me the Photoshop treatment first; a little blur and some angled brushstrokes fixed me right up. It is my theory that the world looks better with 20/60 vision. Just a little fuzzy, just blurry enough to smooth out the edges and erase some natural imperfections. Same goes with the after-shower look. Everyone looks good in a foggy mirror with a towel and skin still slightly flushed from the hot water. Like makeup, it never lasts long enough.
What does?

LOL- I like the choice of pics.... Not tooo personal- not too in your face-so to speak.
It's different than the usual head shot- a not quite perfect head shot---- makes you a mystery woman! MUCH more interesting!
Serendipity's is a head shot, but hers has a dreamy faraway look that makes her's interesting and intriging too. Not your average head shot.
I'm not very photogenic so I don't have a pic posted.Not that I'm quasimoto or anything....I'm a classic blue eyed blonde and I did a bit of runway modeling years ago- but I don't photograh well at ALL.
As for that shower thing......hmmm..... I must be missing that gene too- I look HORRIBLE fresh out of the shower- my best look is waking up tousseled. As the day goes on it just becomes more work to keep that look going.
Maybe I need to nap more.
Love the long comments, btw- so keep em coming!!
Great Pic! You are quite the delicious and mysterious one...
Want to go for coffee sometime?
You choice of pictures is both interesting and catchy. It's enough to make someone browsing through random blogs to stop and take notice, even...
The picture caught my eye, too, so I think you made a good choice. I didn't immediately think "hoochie", I think my initial impression was "Oh my god, this girl was born without a face!" but now I realize I was wrong. Phew.
The "just out of the shower" look rules! If you could somehow manufacture a product that would give you that look all day, it would sell like hotcakes (especially if it smelled like hotcakes). Get to it, times a-wastin!
A mystery woman - who knew? I should try hiding half my face more often. Arts and Craft time with paperbags here I come!
Foggy Hotcakes - now in spray form! Sounds like a band. This is going on the "To Invent" list, right after that magic diet pill and invisibility cloak.
