I want to go to one of your wii parties. You looked sizzling in your tennis gear.

[beastieangel01]

I love that dress, Marjo. And Cos, that is excellent.

I went to a fancy fund raiser last night and I wanted to pull off a certain look to match my dress. And I'm happy with how it turned out! I used b&w for effect, since it captures the era I wanted to go for ;P

[hpdrifter]

Great. Now I'm even more depressed. I got some photos from a party I went to this weekend and I'm pretty sure one of the photos is, in fact, the worst picture ever taken of me. And that's saying a lot.

woman. we've seen your picture before, and we all know you are very pretty. so post somethin already!

[hpdrifter]

I have some on my phone, I'll post 'em when I get home. I'll also post the bad one so you can see how bad it is.

[hpdrifter]

Okay, first the good pictures. Taken with my phone.





I don't know if I can post the bad one. Its so horrible.

[hpdrifter]

I have to believe that I don't look like this.

[alruggs]

Dude, I was expecting sooooooo much worse.

Courtney Love knows a thing or two about unflattering photos.

[Lyman Zerga]

when i try taking a good picture of myself i need about ten billion shots till i find an acceptable looking one and i look ALWAYS shit when another person takes a picture of me

different angles, different faces

[DandyFop]

HP hot damn your eye makeup looks amazing!!

We all have horrible photos, whatever. I look like a fat fuck in most of mine. Hence my usual "face only" approach.

Here's a friend and I at my house when she was really drunk. She doesn't remember this. How does someone look so cute when they are so wasted?



I really like how my bangs turned out and I can't get them that way again

haha yeah same here, most didnt believe me that i was fat (never gained on much around the facial area) or they thought i was just fishing for compliments till i told them my weight..

the camera can be your best friend or your worst enemy

Thanks guys. Sorry, I had to take it down, it pains me to look at it.

Anyway, I'm with Randee, I usually have to take a lot of pictures of myself to get one that looks okay. And I never seem to look good in pictures taken by other people.

And sometimes if you put different pictures of me next to each other it seems like it isn't even the same person.

My face has wierd angles. I dont have much video of myself. I guess that would tell the tale of how I really look.

[cosmo105]

i've been told many times that i look like a different person in every photo. whatever, it means that i have a unique look and don't look like every broad out there. it's a good thing. there's no use in making yourself feel bad about what you can't change, so why do it? seriously. i'm a slammin' babe, and it has nothing to do with what anyone thinks about me but me.

[cookiepuss]

I really haven't posted a pic in a while....this is me and my sweetie at his parents wedding...I was going for the retro look....he was going for his regular look..hhe hee




you have no idea how difficult finger waves are to do. I ended up faking it, cause I didn't really have hte right tools. I don't know how everyone did it back in the 20's and 30's.

ohhh...and hpdrifter....I didn't get to see your bad picture. I'm so sad. I love bad pictures. hee hee. you are lovely though. you knows it.

[Yeti]

Very nice. It is hard to find a man that likes to roll up his short sleeves.

[cookiepuss]

oh you have no idea. but as soon as I saw how smoothly he rolled them, I knew he was a keeper.

[venusvenus123]

i like your man cookies. i mean, he looks nice. *ahem*

hp, i like your "bad" pic, because you're making an interesting expression. v pretty lady :-). i have a mobile face (a ladyboss once summed it up so)... not too keen on pix either.

nice tache cosmo
nice tongue dandy
nice tits b~angel :P is that a 50s look?

[beastieangel01]

HP you look lovely, I even saw the bad photo and it wasn't even bad. Silly girl.

nice tits b~angel :P is that a 50s look?

And yes! That was what I was going for. Not necessarily 100% accurate but at the very least inspired by the 50's. The dress was the starting point (zoom out color version)



$20 dress I bought last year (only the second time I wore it) for a super fancy $100+ ticket fund raiser.

And I've been watching a lot of Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardener movies lately.

Still turned out nice! I LOVE the flowers and the glasses. The flowers are real, yes?

[Yeti]

beastieangel01, you look very classy in your dress.....but I keep wondering about why you chose to sit on the toilet for your photo. The shower curtain does make a nice tropical background.

they are not. Silk flowers and I made the clips myself. quite easy to do...you are crafty so I'm sure you can do it.

you need:

your choice of silk flowers
floral wire (green or silver what ever you prefer and you can use a thin guage...not to thin, but thin.)
Wire cutters or some sort of sharp sheers (the thin wire is easy to cut with regular sissors)
a lighter
and your choice of hair clips. I would not recommend a bobbi pin. you want a clip of some sort...the size and shape is up to you. something with a figure 8 shapes is the easiest.


to do:

you pull the silk flower off the plastic stem keeping the green base part in tact.

get your wire ready and heat up the end of the wire using your lighter, until the wire glows red.

Then push the hot wire through the green flower base. it should slide through easily, but it's gotta be super hot and you gotta do it quick or you won't make it all the way through.

then you can wire it to a clip.
you just have to play around with it and you may need to trim to get it to lay flat against the clip. that's why the figure 8 clip design is easier...cause you can shove that green base through one of the holes in the figure 8, slide your wire through and trim off any excess and wrap the wire around the clip to secure it.

these square ones would work too:

or these:



Ta-da!!!! floral clips. cheap and easy...well fairly easy.
