SHOW YOURSELF! (The Obligatory Pics Thread)

A shot of me being silly on vaction.

 

It's finally getting warm here! Also, forgot that covering my hair 1) looks hecka cute and 2) makes me Feel Better in ??Ways??, so I'm gonna try that more.

 

@IvyLB
uh, not sure where my post of really appreciating your make up list went off too. Can't remember what else I wrote on it...

Yeesh, look at how many times I posted here without joining in on the main subject. *slaps warning labels everywhere* Bald, age 28. December 2011. My hair grows insanely fast so it's now down to my fingertips again. -_-


I thought I looked good. No one else did. There's a new photo in the top serket forum photo thread if anyone cares to see that I've, apparently, found the Fountain of Youth.

^context: glaring at former roommate's cat. It was eating/trying to eat toilet paper as I was trying to do a selfie. So my exterior actually matched my inner crazy feels for once. Or possibly looking for my glasses, but the cat was there, not that I, you know, can see the glasses. I'm legally blind without corrective lenses. D:

Spoiler: TLDR, EGL photos, body dysphoria, mutilation, bad humor,

It's true what they say, don't look straight at bright, explodey things, kids! You might end up colorblind too. An incredibly good outcome, all things considered.

Oh, EGL. Exhibit A: at my heaviest with a 30G bra size. I'm shocked I managed to stuff myself into burando. That poor Victorian Maiden blouse.


And, like, 2 lbs of make up. Another reason EGL is just not feasible anymore. I really miss my ruffled and pin-tucked armor though. It forced people to give me space. My head pieces were often elaborate enough that I could hide behind them. I was just floaty, delicate layers of beautifully constructed DO NOT TOUCH.

Also does not look good with spinal braces. -_-

I never NOT take the opportunity to enlighten small breasted women who moan about their, uh, lack of charms by telling the ugly story of my out-of-control breasties. I hate them so much. If I could, I'd chop them them off and give them, for free, I'll even pay for the other person's surgery , if they want them them that badly.

I was in my early 20s when I tried to remove them myself, got thrown into a psych ward for my troubles and had to lie my ass off until they let me out.

SO, stupid story of how I figured out how much the twins weighed: I was really angry at...someone or something, whatever, anyway I am short enough to be considered disabled in the state that I live in. Yeah. But that also meant the regular/standard kitchen counter top height was just high enough for me to plop the bathroom scale on and plop one of the flesh bags on after. No bending or stretching needed!

At 30G, the left breast was 3 lbs. The right was 2.5-ish. -_- I was carrying a bowling ball on my chest. I'm 117lbs and 28FF now but my breasts still have the same weight. >_< I am desperately hoping my benefits cover the breast removal surgery, or a good chunk of it on "health" reasons. :D I can't wait for the surgery, regardless!

 

well for starters wow you have SUCH a great face like holy shit. You are really very beautiful.
(and also sympathies on the thing behind the spoiler wow that sounds like a nightmare to deal with. Hope things go well with that!)

 

@AnneCliche I think you look excellent! your face is really aesthetically pleasing.

 

@AnneCliche a+ face dude, I love glare-able faces
...that's a weird thing to love I guess
eh

also your hair looks so fuzzyyyy I am a lil jelly

 

(this picture is huge for some reason)

 

(and face without glare)

 

might as well post here too B) the lighting makes it look like my eyebrows are hilariously, outrageously unbalanced!!! they are only slightly unbalanced in reality

 

@aspectDestroyed HOLY HECK YOU ARE A CUTE!!!!

 

@applechime ahhhhhh thank yOU!? YOU ARE CUTE AS WELL

 

@IvyLB , @blue, @kmoss,
Thank you, I'm trying to be better with compliments. For the longest time I always thought it meant people wanted something from me. And I...ugh, used to be, the fastest way to get me from 0 to murder was to say anything nice about my appearance.

And nope, not at all weird. I happen to really, really like people who have a strong, aquiline nose who's perpetually confused looking. I don't know why but that's the profile I tend to draw.

Heh, I miss that aspect of my hair. I'm going to give myself a mohawk

@aspectDestroyed ,
I adore your glasses! You look a lot like those girls on the cover of teen novels...okay, that sounded waaay better in my head. *scuttles away* DD:

@applechime ,
You are very lovely. I've noticed a lot of professional work are including these kinds of things though, one side is darker than the other and there's some detail subtly missing on the brightened side.

 

@AnneCliche ,
Thanks for the compliment! I try to take interesting pictures of myself so I can use it as a reference, or confidence booster. /)v(\ so you're very sweet to say something like I'm pretty enough to be a "character face".

@applechime ,
Anne is right! It can also be one of those "how the light hits you" sort of pictures, where it can appear you can have a completely different shape in light vs dark and that stuff is fun!

CROSSPOSTS -jazzhands-

 

That fashion <3

(Edit: I wish I could repeatedly hit the like button)

 

@IvyLB, I love that you name every look, and the very boyish 'Botanical' is great!

 

fun fact: the names are either the original "theme" or a dumb phrase I come up with while bored and usually are the same as the tumblr post :P You seem to get more notes on Tumblr when you say something on your posts so I started trying for "poetic aesthetic tag lines" and now it's habitual
and aw thanks, i ADORE that button down shirt it is pretty much one of the most "me" things I own.

 

Dumb phrases or not, they tend to suit, and clearly this is how the fashion industry names things too (coming up with things when bored).

 

one of my favorite things is the names on makeup shades. NGL that would be a fun job, naming lipstick shades after puns :P
