So I've finally managed to put up some real pictures of myself.

March 30, 2007

in From PlainJaneMom.com

Not a bug-eyed cartoon girl. Not a crappy DMV photo. Just real pictures of me — so you’ll know who to look for at BlogHer. I want to meet all of you, so if you see me, come on over!

I’ve set it up so that one of these pictures is shown randomly in my sidebar [UPDATED: I liked A best, so I stuck that in there. Oh, and also? My GOD I have a HUGE forehead!!], but I’m thinking of just picking one to show. SO… let me know which one you like best, please.

A

B

C

D

E

F

Or if there’s one that makes me look like even more of a world-class dork than the others, please point that out instead!

My favs are B and E, but I won’t be going to BlogHer. :(

My favorite is B, closely followed by E. And I’m not just copycatting Homemom, either. They are good shots. :)

I like E, too, and I also kind of like the vibe in C….like “yo I’m Plain Jane Mom.” These are great shots and it is cool to see what you look like! I think I could drink a margarita with you. ;)

I like A and F – but really I’m just peeing my pants over meeting you at BlogHer.

The first one…you look very relaxed and natural.

I’m not going — but have fun!

I like A.

Not going to Blogher, but I’m jealous. Does that count for anything!

I’m lovin’ C. You look like you’ve just heard a good joke but you know you’re not supposed to laugh.

Can’t wait to meet you! Guess I better go out and buy another green feather boa for the conference since that’s what I’m wearing in the only picture I’ve put of myself on my blog.

I was going for A or C… I like A a lot because you look very natural, and C because… I don’t know, just kinda cool.

great shots!! :)

My favs are A and F. But, I’m not going to BlogHer unless someone out there promises to hold my hand and let me cling to them and pretends to be my friend the ENTIRE time. I’m too big of a chicken to go to this thang without knowing someone first. Y’all are brave!

Um, did you not read Table 4 Five? She pretty much said she would do exactly that! So c’mon down!! Oh, and me too — I know no one else, but I’d be happy to meet you!

I like C, D and E. Although I’m not going to BlogHer so I don’t know if my vote still counts.

Ivy March 30, 2007 at 8:06 pm

I like C and E. And I’m going to BlogHer, whoo freakin hoo!

Um apart from you looking like you are in college…how young ARE YOU!?

Awesome!

Plain Jane Mom March 30, 2007 at 9:10 pm

39, and thanks. I don’t think I look young in person… must be the magic of photography!

mel March 30, 2007 at 10:19 pm

I like A. I’m not going to BlogHer either. If it were in CA again, I’d totally be there. :( Have fun!

Posybunny March 31, 2007 at 1:14 am

E…and you look way younger than 39! You look like a college student…

Reply

boogiemum March 31, 2007 at 4:29 am

I like them all, but A looks like a photo you would see on a book jacket.

I am not going to Blogher, but really wish I was… Have enough fun for me too!

Cute glasses! I also like A best.

See you in Chicago. :)

Janet a.k.a Wonder Mom March 31, 2007 at 5:08 am

I like A and F…

And tag, you’re it…Promgoer.

Reply

shaz March 31, 2007 at 5:13 am

yeah… I was gonna say too that F looks like you’re still in college! you do look really young! :)

I’d be scared of blogher as well, plus I don’t drink, which clearly seems to be a prerequisite.

Just for the record, all the drunken stories from last year’s blogher were a real turnoff for me. And seriously, magic of photography — in person I do not look like a college student! I’ll borrow a macro lens and do some closeups of my eye wrinkles!

You’re cute! I like A and E. It’s so hard to find photos you like of yourself, isn’t it? Unless you’re a model, I suppose….

Have fun at BlogHer!

Reply

Jessica March 31, 2007 at 10:33 am

I vote for D and my husband votes for F. Wish I were going too!

Oh, The Joys March 31, 2007 at 10:55 am

I vote A. Though I like them all!

Reply

Kalyn April 1, 2007 at 9:48 am

I like A and E, but I agree, they are all pretty good. Interesting how lots of people prefer a different picture. There is a lesson there I believe. See you at Blogher!!

Reply

Lila April 1, 2007 at 8:10 pm

I prefer A for two reasons (and no, I haven’t read the other comments, so people may have already said this):

1. It is the smiliest of the photos

2. The head tilt makes you seem playful. It is as though you’re saying ‘Yeah, I blog about life and family stuff. Let’s go have a martini!’

i was kidnapped by wild goats for the weekend and am therefore late in voting. however, in case you haven’t already selected…i like A. and F, which is actually a more traditionally “good photo”, but A makes you look chill and fun and like someone whose hand i would run up and hold at BlogHer.

probably you’re relieved i’m not going. ;)

I like A or B – B is best but needs the glare taken off the glasses.

cheers from Australia,
