OK, how about a pic thread with horrible photos!
Here's one ... "Not the best hair day" ... let's see some you're particularly embarrassed to have had taken.

7. Oh, I've got a ton of 'em.
MOST of mine are horrible. And I delete 'em as soon as my stomach settles.

You've just got the courage to post yours. Me? If I was any bigger a chicken, I'd grow feathers.

3. Oy...This is a bad one.
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 08:11 PM by Chan790


Me:
No sleep
No comb in sight
Pasty
8AM on a beach in Houston in December on my 25th birthday
It's cold, it's windy and because there is no cloud in the the sky the temperature is dropping
I'm working
I hate this shirt
I'm unshaven
the lighting makes me look like I have no chin
and the color is skewed.

It's also the only picture I have of me in a computer format. :(

15. that was part of the weird allure :) .. I think that's the first photo of
you that I've seen where you weren't smiling.

Here is another taken seconds later (I'd been out working on an exceptionally hot & windy day):

23. My dear qnr...........
So you find my pic weirdly alluring?

Hmmmmmmm..........OK.......:shrug:

It's not horrible...but as you say, I wasn't smiling, and that does not benefit me!

I look jowly, and old.

*sigh*

Now, as to yours.......I like it! You look healthy, active and strong...

All very good attributes, IMHO......:hi:

24. No, I meant the darkness of mine added to the "horribleness" of it, which
is what I found weirdly alluring - I thought your photo was wonderful, not horrible at all, just a little jarring in that it didn't have a smile :) :hi:

11. You kind of look like a cross between John Lennon and Ted Kaczynski




in the bigger one.



Okay, fine. I have no pride:


No makeup, tragic hat-head from a baseball cap, sleeping in public in a very UNladylike position with my face mashed into the back of my worn velour seat. In addition, at the time I was very ill, which is lavishly illustrated by my pasty white complexion and the dark circles around my eyes. My MOTHER thought it would be "funny" to snap my picture at this very inopportune time. Oh, ha ha ha. Thanks Mom. :eyes:







Look. It just doesn't get much more embarrassing than that. Okay?


Happy now?


Sheesh.

out if that is a comfortable position or not.

20. It is, actually, a very comfortable position. At least for me.




I discovered it on that very flight. And it is now my preferred method of sleeping in an airline seat.

Eurailpass, so if I fly I'll try it, otherwise, I'll try it on the train.

You are SO BEAUTIFUL! And look at you just sleeping like that. So sweet. I mean, I kind of heard you rambling about how it was awful or something, but I wasn't listening. All you have to do is look at that picture. You look so peaceful.

And I'd rather it be you than anyone else.

Thanks so much for your kind comments, ma fille plus belle. You bring such joy to my world!

39. LOL! You give us this sweet picture of you-
What's not to love? Thank you for your compliments, mon bijou!! I'm so lucky to know you. Hey, I'm still looking for this blurry picture of me from last year- I'm wearing sunglasses indoors, hurricane-struck hair. I'm wearing a black tee-shirt that says "FUCKED" in caps in white- and I do, indeed, look fucked-up. I'll post it when I find it.

Hey, it's good for you man people to get a little dose of reality once in a while. Us Ultra Glam Babes don't always look like we do when we're strutting down a catwalk modeling the newest Vera Wang gown, or posing for a spread in your girlie magazines (which you purchase only for the well-written and informative articles). :eyes:


Hey, any guy who sees me here at my worst and still flirts with me gets a gold star in my little black book. :thumbsup:

My turn! What on earth is wrong with this picture?

Well......it's a little fuzzy, that's all!

You don't need makeup, IMHO........

A little smile wouldn't hurt, of course, but it's too early for you to be smiling!

Nice pic, sweetie! :hug:

35. The fuzzy happened, I think, when it got resized...
The original was small and dark...so someone lightened it for me. I really do have to get a better camera. THEN y'all are in for it.

But my two-year-old nephew was randomly pushing the button on my cam making the flash go off...he managed to capture this pic of me.

45. I can't believe I'm posting this...
But, after not blow drying my hair straight for about 3 months (I wear it curly 90% of the time), I took this picture to send to my mom to show her just how damaged my hair had gotten. It was like STRAW. Luckily, I was able to get myself in to see a hair stylist later on that day.

This was on a group trip. There were 6 of us in a hotel room. I am pretty sure this was the morning I woke up my nemesis-buddy by whapping him on the head with a pillow.

Good times, good times...
