You softened the lines in your face (I do that all the time in my pics!) and dressed up- but you are showing your true self. This is the glory of an artistic statement. Sure the image doesn't have the real life bad angles but it does capture your spirit, your character that I'm sure is shown loud and clear in real life, regardless on topical appearances. xo.

What does that say about me? That my ideal self is sparkly-eyed like a Disney princess? I guess I want to appear happy, but sometimes I look tired in my pictures so I tweak them.

I think you look very lovely in your selfie. I love the colors you're wearing, and think you look very vibrant.<br /><br />I don't think cameras ever capture who I am. I am confused with my camera and mirror self. But probably because I feel like a snobby Englishman, a young wizard, a super vamp, or any number of fantastical things on any given day. My brain is often taken over by book characters. I tend to think through filters of them. It's hard to connect my plain outer self with my inner-self that is filled with so many stories.<br /><br /><br />(Btw, I got your invitation today. I wish I had the gas to make the drive, because I would so be there.

Aging gracefully its called. <br /><br />However, I empathize with your situation and how its important to you to relive some of your younger years as a woman now that you have more freedom of expression, so play away! <br /><br />Editing photos is fun, playing with computer fashion avatars is fun. I totally adore taking say my yahoo avatar and dressing her up with fun cloths. She looks a little like me with the same kind of hair and skin tone, but is obviously more idealized since its an animated doll.sara starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826686885318466824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-9047768414208429702012-02-13T13:12:30.955-05:002012-02-13T13:12:30.955-05:00You look gorgeous in your portrait.

I painted one several years ago of myself with pink hair as the 'Queen of Cups' that I was really happy with. Since then I haven't given much thought to how I would portray my ideal self. If you have ever taken an art class they really give you some great insight into these things. But I'm not sure what I would want in my own self portrait anymore.Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728987175842227417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-63240048860809125422012-02-13T12:50:13.343-05:002012-02-13T12:50:13.343-05:00Ally, You are absolutely beautiful and this self-p...Ally, You are absolutely beautiful and this self-portrait does your spirit justice.<br /><br />I have one photo that is exactly how I see myself even though it was taken nearly 25 years ago.
