Last evening in pictures
Last night, I was feeling especially girly.


Here are the things I bought at Walgreen's on my way home:




While I read the Cosmo and ate the Haagen Dazs, I drank this:



After finishing the Cosmo, the tea, and the ice cream, and reading lj, AND eating an actual dinner...AND talking to Adam, I decided to give my troublesome skin a purifying mask.

I actually love the way I look with one of these masks on. I reminded myself of a Dada-esque model, something from Man Ray. I decided to take some self-portrait shots.

I'm really amazed at how well this first one came out. There's no blur, even though I was holding the camera in one hand, and the shutter was open for a comparatively long time, because there was no flash. I only wish that I'd been better able to center myself in the frame.



The camera wasn't as steady for this one:



I think I was unconsciously channeling a portrait of Meryl Streep by Annie Liebovitz, but I didn't make the connection until this morning (and I couldn't find a very good image of it):



Then I washed off the mask. My skin was pink and smooth. And I went to bed.

The End

how fun to see a pic of you! Your eyes are beautiful--like pools of sea water.

Aw, thanks!

What really surprises me about these pictures is how much I love my nose! I think it's strong and ethnic -- and it's exactly like my dad's. This is a big thing for me because my mother wanted me to get a nose job -- when I was a teenager! Heck, she probably still does.

You have a fabulous nose. There are few interesting noses in this world as it is. (Mine has about as much character as eight year olds carve into pumpkins). Now I want to go and have a girlie night... hrm... maybe THursday. Good idea.

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply -- it's been a crazy week.

I have a mental picture gallery of famous beauties with sizable noses: Meryl Streep, Anjelica Houston, Claudia Black, of Farscape, Carrie Anne Moss. If I changed anything about my face, it would be my weak chin, but the nose is definitely staying!
