A master of disguises

I think everyone has the ability to really change how they look. Also, I like to see the change in people over the years. So, just for kicks and giggles I have compiled some of my favorite pictures of me. Is it vanity? I don't think so. I think that secretly everyone likes to look at pictures of themselves and see what is so different each time. We never get to see ourselves talk, laugh, smile, make faces etc. the way others do. That's why I love pictures. I love to see what others and myself look like, frozen in time. Hope you enjoy! Some have a great story!

Me, at the Japanese Street Festival this Summer. I ended up giving this picture to my mom to put on her wall of all her kids. I was having the best day ever so my smile was very genuine :) Those types of smiles are the best for pictures.





















On my way to horse back riding lessons, which I ended up quitting because the teacher was creepy. . . anyways. Probably the only time in my life when I wore a cowboy hat was during this time. I call this one "Hat Rays".























I was invited to a Murder Mystery Dinner. The only problem, my character was a guy! I was Les, the white boy wanna be Hawaiian guy. I did my makeup myself and had a blast with it! I got to make stoner jokes the whole time because my character was a pot head lol.





















. . . no comment. . .





















I'm a Mermaid! Tamirrah, my little sister, is the mad skilled makeup artist on this one. We did a fantasy photo shoot in the bathtub :)





















This is the most recent. It was for Anime Banzai 2010. I did my eyes "Anime" style. They came out looking pretty big and very green :)
Yay green eyes!
I really like this one because my natural hair color is coming back and I'm starting to embrace it again.




















. . . I like to pull faces if you couldn't tell.






















Halloween 2009. I was a Geisha! This was probably one of my favorite costumes of all time. I had a blast with it and realized that I have really pretty shaped lips :)























Again, I love my lips!





















Ahhh the Goggles picture! This one I took just this Summer. David, my little brother, and I had an epic battle over these Goggles. He surrendered them to me out of kindness lol. I love them.






















This is me, as an "Angry Anime Character". See how my nose practically vanished in the flash? I am Anime! Hehe.






















My all time favorite haircut. . . which I still basically have now. But this was the first time I did the cut so it was super special then. Julia, I'm still excited for that painting!




















I encourage everyone to see their inner beauty. I know some people who, when they look at a picture of themselves, have nothing but negative things to say. "My hair looks bad, I hate my smile, my teeth aren't straight, my nose is too big, I hate my chin" etc. I don't get it. To me everyone has something beautiful about them. Give it a shot! Take some pictures of yourself and really look at them. Look for things you like about your face and ignore the things you dislike. Learn to love your body!

Hope you guys give it a try :)
