Looks like you are trying to follow our govt’s instructions on how to take your own passport photo. Needless to say, I did not.
Yep, my glasses are similar to the Messieurs Cain and Hammett, however my gravitas is not 😉
🙂
“Hello, I’m dooowwn heeerrre!” Those photos are cute, you look like they were shot in zero gravity, as if you took them while floating on the space station. Vickie Lester, Serious Author – and Astronaut?! 😉
When a certain young man walked by and saw what I was doing he said, and I quote, “Cut it out. People are going to think your book was written by a twelve year old,” end quote.
You look very cute with the glasses …. congratulations that you’ll publish a book!
Thank you – I’m in the “I can barely wait” stage 😉
If I were you, I’d probably answer to that young man, “Be thankful I’m not recreating ‘Aladdin Sane’!” On second thought, my Bowie reference might be completely lost to that young man …
Bwahaha! I taught him well — and thank you for making me laugh 🙂
Must admit my first thought had nothing to do with glasses or not to glasses but was similar to that of a certain young man, save that my reaction was something along the lines of, “Holy crap she looks FIVE. There is no way, NO WAY that woman is over fifty.”
So I even beat the young man by seven years. I bet that there are plenty of us with a camera that would be all too happy to take the photo and as I am on the “wrong continent” *cough, cough* I will demurely decry, “tg, get your derriere over there pronto!” 😉
And there has been an unfortunate dog incident here that has kept me off the interwebs. Much gratitude to Mr. Kaplan for sending out a search party…
Bon Weekend!
But, Darling – you’ll note you can’t see my neck… 😉
Derriere to Provence? Any time!
Hope the dog incident is all better!
Does timing count? Is there a better season (during the year) to publish a book? Today I read a little letter about publishing, although it is an ancient letter, I find there is some truths in it, I will write a brief post on it ….
Timing does count in movie releases, but I don’t know about publishing… I have to head over to your weblog and read about the truths in an ancient letter!
Ha! I love this. You clearly still get carded and maybe even asked if you’re available to babysit 🙂
Have a great weekend, Ms. V!
You too, Love! And, I’m going to try one of those mojitos from your post 🙂
reminds me of neil gaiman who likes to look his dishevelled, ardorkable best on any of his portraits.
adorkable! many thanks, and I’ve learned a new word 🙂
Dearest V
As I find myself frequently saying to myself.. “Where’s Horst when you need him?”…
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
And, some decent light, a bounce card, and maybe some lipstick — oh, for a Horst haunting!
Dearest A
Personally I never allow photographs without full make up and then only in monochrome!
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
Too funny!
I agree!
I will give $100 for a video of you singing “The Milton The Monster” theme song from that angle and, of course, with those glasses!
