Last week I did not watch Top Model, therefore no recap this week. From what I gleaned from http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/, Teyona had the weekly winning photo. She's odd in a way I don't like. And hitting the bricks, London for being too fat. Huh? Evidently, she's gained about 10 lbs since the filming started on Top Model. I call bullshit. I remember from Cycle 4 bitchy Kenya gained 10 lbs and she made it to the top 3. What kills me is that London is not fat, obese nor even pudgy! I do not understand the judging criteria on the this silly show.
Now you may ask yrselves, what could have been more important than watching an awesomely bad reality show? I recently re-connected with an old acquaintance that I knew from grade school through high school via Facebook. One of her passions is photography and as a favour to her, I sat for a portrait session. And it was also free therapy to get over my picture phobias.
It was amazing, I had forgotten what a great time it can be hanging out w/ a female w/ no other dudes hanging about. I learned a few lessons, my hair doesn't take to the curling iron, I can love my flaws, accept things I cannot change and popcorn and avocados make a fantastic dinner.
Tell me what you think.

I think you're beautiful and that you have amazing eyelashes. :)
Leslie, thank you. I really am trying to overcome low self-esteem. can't take all the credit for the lashes, i did have on mascara : ) and if you think i have great lashes you should check out my oldest brother. it's not fair really
Well, we all have to wear mascara. It is totally unfair.
Anyway, I used to *hate* the way I look. Even now (esp. while being pregnant) I sometimes get down on myself about my appearance. But something happened in my early 20s (not sure what) that made me not care as much. I usually feel pretty comfortable in my own skin. I have accepted the fact that I will never be a supermodel - in fact, usually the most I get out of people is "cute." And you know, I'm okay with that.
Good luck with your self-esteem issues. To me, you are beautiful inside and out; hopefully someday you will be able to see yourself in a similar light.
Very nice. I like the 3rd one down the best. I wanna get real photos done...not self-portrait basement crap!
awwwww les, yr too sweet. thanks for all the support.
WM: thanks, buddy : ) you gotta do it
Love the photos! I need to get some new photos done too, but with no photographer friends, will likely need to rely on the hubbie's less than desirable photo skills. :)
You look really great. It's always fun to put a current face with the blog.
Lilseed: what? you don't like the Darth pic : ) gotta be honest I'm very curious about yr visage : )
I thought the same thing about your eyelashes. I have a mascara fetish so I zero in on things like that :)
My hair is curling iron resistant as well. Good thing I really don't like fussing with it anyway.
I have a photo on my "about me" page (titled "Am I Who I Am") but it's edited with a PhotoShop filter.
SC: I think I have a curling iron phobia as a result from growing up in the 80's : )
Ooo, ooo - work it, girl!
I used to hate getting my picture taken, but after living with a camera lover, I kind of have become used to it. Plus the more you take, the more you realize what angles and lights are better on you.
Also, a couple of cocktails also helps. Man, I turn into a myspace cam-whore after a few drinks! (Is cam-whore outdated? I feel like everyone is jumping off the myspace ship!)
AJ: it's true about angles and lighting. The boyfriend is quite the shutterbug and he gets sick of me saying "Stop taking my damn picture!"
