Tricks of Light

[catelin]

I've been asked a couple of times now if some of the icon photos I use are from a long time ago. The question always shocks me because I wouldn't ever have even thought of doing that. For one, I tend to like the way I look better as I get older (minus the few bothersome wrinkles and sags, mind you!). Second, I'm not nearly that tricky. I had no idea that people really even did stuff like that at all!! So for anyone else who might be wondering, all of the icon photos (and any others with the exception of my super 70s photo) I have were taken in the last year. The only reason I can think of that some look different than others is likely due to lighting and/or the fact that I was wearing makeup in some and not others. I dunno. And why am I even writing about this? Well, vanity, I suppose....and the feeling that I need to defend my honor! Heh! I really was aghast to think that anyone would think I was doing that. Oh, and this one (taken shortly before I moved from my old house)...it's because...well....just because I owe someone.

How strange that anyone would ask you that. I've always assumed that your photos were current.

You do take a lovely picture I must say. :-)

Thanks. : ) I sure am glad to see you're feeling a bit better now. Yay!

What she said.. you are one of the most attractive women on lj (inside and out!) *hugs*

I've never thought that the pictures themselves were from another era, but there is an air of glamour about them which recalls earlier times- the era of Audrey Hepburn, perhaps. That may be what people sense in them.

Why has no one doubted the currency of my icon?????????

(I tried to comment on North Dakota, but was shutdown by the web trolls. So here I am. I have time to check LJ approx. once a week now, so pardon my lack of conversation. I'm hoping once we're moved in and the holidays over, our lives will assume a sustainable pace, as opposed to the absurd anaerobic exercise in sound and fury signifying you know what that it's recently become...)

You need to call me and/or send me your new address. And as to the currency of your icon, we count your age in dog years, so it's not time for you to worry yet! ; )
