HNT #4 - Maria Callas

I have shed my inhibition - I will post my face, only when it is obscured in some way. In the beret shot, it was my fringe and sidelong glance; in this one, there is something off happening with lights and mirrors.

This is one of the oddest pictures of me, so I better explain it a little. I had just got out of the shower, put on some lip gloss as I was going to work. My hair is all up in a pink towel, and I noticed that the room was full of really bright light.

I was doing typical myspace style shots in the mirror, and this photo was a test to see what angles would be best so I have no real expression. But for some reason, it came out with this bizarre darkness above my head and green tones decending into my eyes. My eyebrows too, which normally are not particular conspicuous, have reached Maria Callas proportions.

This photo reminds me of the song "La Mama Morte", because of the Maria Callas association but also the expression on my face. It looks distant, sad, introspective.. it's also funny how my eyes are set in such moody colours, then the rest of my face is so candy-ish. I like it.

Wearing the fishnets that graced my legs as I played a Can-Can dancer in Annie Get Your Gun!

HNT #2

Gratuitous boob shot, I know. It's a photo I took a couple of weeks ago to 'hide' on Lucien's computer for him. But luckily he has expressed interest in helping take some pictures for this little endeavour.. lucky me. Maybe lucky you?

HNT #1

I jumped on the bandwagon. But can I think of a better way to get my kit off than in front of strangers? Especially those that I can show the not-so-bad bits too, without having to accept their judgment if I don't want to?

Yes, it's a pretty poor effort for a first go. Oh well, until next Thursday!
