What I’m Not

This thing always happens to me when I peruse other people’s blogs. I look at their photos and I think, “Wow, that’s a really nice photo. I wonder if it’s really a photo of the blogger.” And I’d admire the composition of the portrait, and the clever poses and outfits, the beautiful figures and skin, and I’d think, “I wanna post a photo of me like that.” But I don’t have any. I wish I just had a recent nice pretty photo of myself. Something I’d look at and feel good about. Where some huge flaw wouldn’t wave at me, like maybe my thighs look huge, or I look midgety, or my face is pudgy, or my skin is horrid, or my upper arms look obese, or I look pregnant. It’s been awhile since I’d been pleasantly surprised by a photo of myself. Just now, I looked in the China photo collection, and what kind of photos did I take? Crap like this:
Times like this, I’m inspired to draw the way I wish I looked. Beautiful, slim, dreamily gazing into the distance of some beautiful horizon, hair long and floating around me, tall with slender (but toned) limbs, nice perky butt and boobs. Sigh…
Like, what happened to THESE days?…
These photos are from LAST YEAR!
It’s the hair, I’m telling you, it’s the hair. It has nothing to do with anything else. You’re not fat, pregnant (that I know of), and your skin looks as smooth as milk & honey. Your longer hair makes you look like a completely different person.
hair can change the way you look.. true dat.
there is nothing wrong with the way you look NOW.. but I know hearing that doesn’t make it better because it’s our OWN self-image that we hear….
i feel the same way
crap crap crap photos.. but atleast I can say to you that your photos aren’t crap
All I can say is looking good is hard work.
Flat Coke – but…hair doesn’t make my thighs look fat or thin! But just in case, I’m growing it out again.
Jordan – did you not notice that I’m the only one in the 1st photo that’s looking off all retarded, while everyone else smiles at the camera? But thanks.
TurboTiger – I wouldn’t know. I haven’t been looking swell lately. But Jordan and Flat Coke would know, AND they make it look easy!
