I truly hate photos of myself,

especially selfies, when I’m trying to balance without my crutches, when I look like I’m near death- that’s what my dad always says about himself in photos- “I look like I’m near death and people always tell me, Oh Maynard, I’m soooo sorry you’re ill.” And my hair is all wet and stringy.

But I LOVE this Passive Voice tee-shirt so much I’m gonna suck it up and post this!

Go ahead, enlarge it and read the tee-shirt. It’s perfect.

Yeah, stop looking at my face, you're supposed to be reading the tee-shirt.

  1. Your hair is cute. The T shirt is funny.

  2. Oh Steph, I love you so!

  3. I see a slim young woman with a lovely wide smile and perfect teeth.

    She could probably use a little makeup, and the hair looks a bit too much like the chewed-by-a-goat look much favored by a certain blonde actress for my taste, but heck - hair is easy to change.

    And the T shirt is hard to read unless you click on it to make it bigger (which is why people would look at the face).

    Any other little silly self-image problems, you just bring them to me.

    I’m lately looking at many pictures from when I was a Girl Guide in Mexico as a teen, and felt like the largest person in creation, and I neither was, nor looked, especially by modern standards. There is something in modern agriculture that is causing people in general to be heftier than we use to be - even many of the young people.

    I hope they figure it out SOON.

  4. Oops. Turned italics on - thought I had turned them off.

  5. I do have good teeth, Alicia. ;) Yeah, silly little self-image problems. I like the italics!

  9. Roberta says:

    You make money writing? I am in awe. I bow down to you as a Writing Goddess!

    You look great BTW!

  10. Thanks, Sandra. I think that t-shirt is outstanding!

  11. LOL Roberta! I do make money sometimes! Every time I have a picture taken I think I look tired. I guess I’m tired!

  12. Ray Plasse says:

    Aren’t all writers tired? Cool shirt. :)

  13. Totally, Ray. On both counts. ;)

  14. Amber Skyze says:

    Your selfie is adorable and I love the shirt! :)

  15. I should get me one of those! I love it!

  16. He has a link to order them on his site, Lex. From Zazzle.

    Bollocks, you look great stop being so Carly

  18. Hey, what’s a Carly, Tom? And I look tired by god!

    *Snort* My last check was 5.99. I bought a bag of Dove’s Mint and Dark Chocolates… and a coffee. Love the shirt and wished I looked so good.

  20. Oh Anny- too funny! The shirt is great, huh!

  21. Diana Stevan says:

    I agree with Penny. You do look adorable. What’s not to like? I think we women are way too hard on ourselves. It’s the damn media publishing photos that have been not only professionally taken but air brushed and photo shopped. Enough, I say. Let’s embrace life! And good for you for publishing a photo that you weren’t sure about. We all have those moments.

  22. Thanks, Diana. I have never liked photos of myself. However… I can do this. (Keep repeating that mantra.) I received a photo of my cousin standing in the snow. Loads of snow in Winnipeg! And she is, and has always been, adorable.
