Sometimes, I've got to say--I'm blessed with a fantastic face. I didn't work for it; thank my parents. Great cheekbones, and shit yeah, I'd love fuller lips, but you know, everything is symmetrical. ANd shit, if I want to (which I usually don't) I can be absolutely breathtaking.


Ok, so that wasn't really me--it was someone working on me being breathtaking--that was a professional doing that for my friend's wedding. And really, no pictures really capture it. I was, hear me say it: show. stopping. gorgeous. after that girl went to work on me. Fuck. And I was w/a guy who was Screwing the crazy girl and it was this stupid night. Just wasted. WASTED I TELL YOU.

sigh. Makes me think that if I really knew how to work it, I'd kill any man in a 20' radius.

But, you know, this is what keeps me real (thank ya Jesus for makin' me so fat as a young teenager!!!).

But, then, there's this photo from jaaladay's wedding.


The bride is in the center. The color choices were phenominal--it all worked together so beautifully. And how can you doubt a woman who bought the material when she was, like, 21, with the intention that this would be used for her wedding gown?? (sewn by the woman to the right by the way).

Anyway, so there I am, on the far right, w/out the mega-tons of make-up (but with a choker made by the bride), and damn, you know? That's a really pretty picture of me. One of my favorites. so yeah, I can be a pretty girl when I want to (ok, so the smile I have is a "picture" smile, but damn, I still look good). So much so, that this may replace my "cute girl" pic. For now, anyway.

You are a knock out. Period.

Those are fun dresses!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sir.

I surprise people sometimes. I surprise myself most of the time. What do you do when you've been born so beautiful? Live w/it I suppose. thank goodness I was fat as a kid, or I think I would be so vain. And, really, how many hours of my life have I saved in not having to go through the make-up ritual in the morning? Countless.

I still wear the bridesmade dress in the summer. What's not showing in the photo is the space between the outfit's top and the bottom, in which I put paste-on glitter. It worked really well.

You can't beat the 80s with a 10' pole!

I certainly never had mall hair. Never. Well, ok, my high school hair got kind of high sometimes, but it was never mall hair.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

I had El Debarge hair.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

oh, honey, I think I've seen the photos. And if not, I think I can picture it.

btw--I wanted Flock of Seagulls hair. But I never achieved it. and I was sad.

Hey, thanks for posting this pic--brings back those happy memories. I am so tickled that you are choosing this as your "pretty" picture, becasue you are gorgeous in it!

I am also tickled to know that you understand your attractiveness--I always thought you were unaware that every guy wanted to follow you home. ;)

Oh, I'm glad you're ok w/my posting the pic. It is really beautiful of all of us & brings back memories. That was such a great ceremony (and I'm so glad i didn't take a dive off your dad's bridge into the creek, which almost happened w/those damned Tevas I was wearing).

Well, when we worked together, it was that guy with the dharma armor, so what am I to know about hottiness?

The wedding picture is great! and you should replace it if you want because if it reminds you of that stupid boy it should go (even though it is a great picture of you!)

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

The "sassy" picture (my icon right now) is the one that was taken when I was w/the stupid boy. The jaaladay wedding photo is one I thought I would keep instead of the cute internet girl.

It took my a long time to get used to the wedding pix that were taken when I was w/the stupid boy (the guy who slept w/the crazy girl), but now I'm happy with them.

[livsmama.livejournal.com]

yeah, I wasn't being clear.
(I need to go to bed)
you look great in both!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's such a joyful thing to have Liv's smiley face looking at me.

[kalimama.livejournal.com]

I think you're beautiful.

Thanks for posting the wedding picture too...I hadn't seen it. So pretty!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It was just one of those days, for which I was very greatful.

Yes, that was jaaladay on her wedding day, married near a creek on part of the land owned by her parents. What doesn't show is how pregnant she was w/C at the time. About 7 months, i think. Her friend, N (on the right) was adjusting the gown until a few days before the wedding so she could fit in it. I still remember how excited jaaladay was about her big boobs!

This was taken under one of the oak trees that she got married... under. We weren't sure about the dresses, but they turned out very nicely. WHich reminds me--I still owe jaaladay for that dress!

You look HAPPY in the JD wedding pic. I like that one better.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, but the snarky photo has its place.

[wi-c.livejournal.com]

M and I were just talking about GC the other day. How strange....

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

What's GC?

[wi-c.livejournal.com]

Ms. Caseey.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Oh! Now it makes sense. thx.

[binro33.livejournal.com]

Very nice.
You definately shine in that bridesmaid's outfit.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The dress is still fun to wear in the summer.

[binro33.livejournal.com]

How old is the pic?

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

It was taken in late June 2001.
