Ridici-busy is what I am today, so no REAL post.\u00a0 However, I just wanted to share.\u00a0 Just like we always croon on about how magazine pictures are photoshopped and are not accurate representations of the actual models, it can occur in real life.\u00a0 No shopping or mal-intent necessary.<\/p>\n

Enter the photos from the yelp event last month.\u00a0 I usually like this photographer’s shots of me, but this time, ugh.\u00a0 I might as well be 50 lbs heavier than I am here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The angle is all wrong, all you see is my gigantic protruding chest because I’m arching my back a little, but you can’t see any of my waist to realize that – hey, my whole body is not proportional to my shoulders\/bazooms there.\u00a0 My hair is all nappy and I’m doing the cheesy smile where I squish my chin back which displays some pudge that I can only produce that way.\u00a0 I had half a second of “uck” when I saw this, and realized that it wasn’t because I somehow gained back like 50 lbs, it’s just a TERRIBLE photo.\u00a0 Maybe I wasn’t looking so hot that day, but I wasn’t looking THIS bad.<\/p>\n

Then, today we found the other photos from the “photo booth”. These photos were taken within 30 mins of the other ones.<\/p>\n

Picture one: RAWR!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And picture two: I see what you did there?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, if I ACTUALLY looked like that, I’d probably throw a freaking party (especially that first pic).\u00a0 She’s using the famous down angle trick.\u00a0 If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try it – get a camera, hold it above your head, and snap a picture.\u00a0 It’s a good way to get a very flattering head shot.\u00a0 Our heads are in focus, and our bodies are stretched out weirdly.\u00a0 I’m not cut off at that weird part under my boobs where it looks as if I am about twice my weight because that’s just the biggest part of me.<\/p>\n

In person, I’m somewhere an average of all my pictures taken recently.\u00a0 And I think I’m ok with that for now.\u00a0 I just always have to remember that some are going to be winners, and some will be losers.\u00a0 But I can certainly put the best ones up on facebook and let the other ones fade into obscurity…<\/p>\n
