The Perfect Picture

So some of my faithful readers may have noticed that I removed my picture. Others may NOT have noticed, and still others may not really give a crap either way. In any case, I feel obligated to let you know why it is gone – plus it gives me a chance to showcase my insecurities again.

There was a time when I thought that picture was a pretty good one. Obviously, that time wasn’t too long ago, since I posted it pretty recently. But as of late, while perusing other blogs, I have started to feel less and less confident about that picture. And eventually, I started scrutinizing it and thinking such comments as “Gee, your head looks like it is floating. How stupid!” and “You don’t even HAVE bangs anymore! And your face looks fat, too.” I started doing this because it seems that most of the blogs I have been reading have comments on them from all these really attractive 20-somethings. Nothing against them, of course, but I feel pretty BLAH when I look at their pictures. Now, obviously I am no longer a 20-something, but I really feel like I deserve to be considered eye candy just like the rest of the female bloggers. And that particular picture just wasn’t cutting it.

Now, the PROBLEM here is that I don’t consider myself to be all that photogenic. Whether that is true or not is yet to be determined, since I am always TOLD I am photogenic. But we’ll find out soon enough, because I am going to make Roxy take a WHOLE BUNCH of pictures of me, until I find one worthy of posting on my blog. And when I do, there damn well better be some guys commenting on how hot I am. Or I will be really depressed. Don’t you people realize that I need my ego stroked?? (By someone OTHER than Mr. South Side??) And I DON’T want any pity comments, either. Because even though I may be somewhat insecure at times, I DO feel that I am still an attractive woman. Or at least not butt-ugly. Rest assured, the picture I post will definitely make people see me in a different light. (No, it won’t be anything pornographic – Roxy is taking it, remember??)

So there you have it. The quest for the PERFECT PICTURE. Stay tuned.

Pictures NEVER do justice anyway! If anyone has met you they would envy your crystal blue eyes and your thick ass hair that never looks messed up! Not like I have or anything with my stringy brown straight ass hair! Do you want me to go on???? If someone is going to judge on looks then they are not worth it and you know this! hello! do you need a crack up side your head??? (smooch you know I love you!) anyway we all know that there is just something about you that is irrestitable! (read your blogs! ha ha)

Getting the perfect pic is traumatizing! Smiling but not cheezy, not posed but not too natural, bangs/no bangs...so many choices! Good luck!
