"Crazy Eyes. They're Watching Yooou."

July 22, 2008

in From PlainJaneMom.com

They see your eeevery moooove.

This is what happens when a photographer says “OK, I’m going to count to three and on three you’re going to open your eyes wider.” Sounds sexy, right?

Hawt

Plus my mouth is crooked. Did I have a stroke at BlogHer or was it just too much coffee? I guess excessive caffeine (or electrocution) would explain the hair.

Yikes. Oh, and in return for letting you see this terrifying picture of me, that admittedly isn’t the worst photo of myself I’ve ever shown you, I’ll leave you with this lovely little ear worm.

Didn't she shoot another one? Because I saw you right after this was taken and you looked awesome.

Of course, I wasn't goading you to open your eyes all wide and crazy at me . . .

Hey that girl, "now"? I would have thought you'd have been terrified long before today!

While we only met very briefly – and almost went to a party together – It was LOVELY to meet you in person.

I have an allergy to photos of me. Seriously, I had some corporate photos taken earlier this year and he actually said to me "what's WRONG with you?"

Your hair is DARLING, by the way. Such a great haircut!

Bad picture – you are very cute in person! To me your eyes are saying…"Dude are you fucking kidding me with that?" to the photographer.

You look mahvulus! I signed up over at BlogHer, where I was asked to post a picture, to make my profile more "personal". I don't know what I did, but the picture was ginormous, and I realized how bad I need to have my eyebrows waxed.

At least you don't look like Walter Mattheau!

Thank you Sammanthia, but if you looked closely you'd see that my eyebrows are shapeless caterpillars! :)

I don't know if you were still hanging around while I was being bossed around, but I got a lot of "Okay now (fill in obscure facial command)" followed by a lot more of "Ew, that didn't work."

Toward the end, my lips were quivering and I just gave up.

My favorite? "You have a really peaceful face. Try not smiling… (click click)… Oh. Um, never mind."

Sweet.
