playing dress-up

Yesterday I got the urge to play dress-up.

Yep, I'm almost 35 and I still play dress-up sometimes. Come on now, I bet you do too.

Anyhow, I got out my make-up and did myself up in a way I'd never done before. It was a bitch to wash it all off but I have to admit, I loved it. I've never put on so much eyeliner in my entire life!

Then I had my very own photoshoot. Most of the photos were absolutely horrible but I kept going in the hopes that taking 30 or so pics would end up with at least one decent picture. Well, I ended up taking WAY more than 30, and I deleted all but about 3 or 4 of them. Heh. It was fun though just hamming it up.

The funniest part is that I normally HATE having my picture taken. I almost never take good pictures. I'm very fat and I usually have a very hard time getting a decent facial expression out of myself when my picture is being taken. That makes it all the more fun when I get in the mood to play around. Well, I have to be in the mood for it...LOL...because I'm going to end up taking tonnes of pics and only keeping a couple!

Anyways, I narrowed down the pics and played around with them in paint shop pro.

When I look at these pictures, especially the one above, I can't help but think that it doesn't even look like me.

But I guess that's sort of the whole point of playing dress-up, isn't it?
