Selfies aren't just for doing in the mirror anymore
I have spent the last couple of days playing with self portraits again on my phone camera b/c I still haven't figured out the mechanism on my real camera. Anyway that tends to be my go to perk me up when I'm not feeling myself as I am more than a tad vain and hell it's just fun to pose and then edit. I think I spend as much time laughing at all the bad pictures as I do cooing at the good ones. I discovered the magic of taking video and Das introduced me to iMovie, editing videos is much harder but just as much fun albeit in a different way.
My brilliant masterpiece is me walking across the room, turning around, pausing to smile and do that Vana White move (totally dating myself there) and walking back, lol. Having not seen myself on video since I was about 14 I was surprised at how I walk, I'm very swishy. Why had no one told me, lol. I always thought I walked quite straight. It is also becoming more apparent to me why people so often mistake me for someone way younger than I actually am, lol. My entire demeanor seemed young not just my features which indeed do look rather young. It's hard to explain properly but I definitely wasn't giving off late thirties vibes. If I didn't know me I would have assumed I was a college girl at best. I wasn't wearing anything particularly youthful either, a new pair of jeans and a basic black tank top with my hair down, oh and tennis shoes.
The pictures varied a lot though, I went from innocently sexy with ponytails and only a hint of pink lipstick, wearing pink panties and white tank posing with my dolls to athletic poses in shorts and tank with loose hair. There were a couple in a multicolored sarong and a few naked ones too. The naked ones were the most amusing by far because "come hither" is so not my look, lol. I finally settled on mischievous grin for the most part. It's a fun way to learn angles and such for example I realized laying down on my belly flat is not good from most angles because my head looks tiny and my ass looks huge. Not a good look, lol. I might post a couple on the blog if I can figure out how. :) Not quite proficient with the new format yet.
