Seriously...

My sister just wrote a funny blog about how we perceive ourselves and how we really look. I think I fall somewhere in the middle. Most of the times I think I look just fine, glance in a mirror and think I look just fine. Other times I think I look smoking, other times, not so much. The only time I am truly shocked by my perceived image vs. reality is when I pregnant. Nothing can prepare a gal for that one. One of the times I thought I looked smoking hot was on my honeymoon. I've posted a few pictures below to help show that I did, in fact, look okay. Why am I doing this? Because one of the very worst photos of myself was taken on my honeymoon. A time when you are supposed be at your most beautiful because you've recently spent a fortune on make up and a gym membership (mostly because Sean liked to go to the gym, so I bought one so we could have something in common, but it worked).



Please prepare yourself for the next one. I call this paparazzi photo, mostly because if I was a celebrity it would've been plastered on the front cover of every tabloid. It also begs the question...why was Sean taking my photo of me coming out of a bathroom? Oh, wouldn't we all like to know.












BOO YA!

  1. oh my dear friend. I have always thought (and still think) you look beautiful. And if that is your worst photo, that just boosts my opinion. I have some truly wretched photos of me lurking out there. Including one similar to this only much, much worse. My brothers once waited outside a public bathroom for me just to catch me off guard. It was bad.

  7. Okay, so the thing that is so great about this photo is not that you look bad, it's that it really, REALLY looks like something that should be gracing the front of every tabloid; the hat, location, facial expression, unflattering position of the bad. Paparazzi to a T. Love it. Oh and it's also paparazzi because you have to be beautiful enough in the first place to even qualify for a "caught off guard" moment.
