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.


Your hair is cute. The T shirt is funny.
Oh Steph, I love you so!
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.
Oops. Turned italics on - thought I had turned them off.
I do have good teeth, Alicia.
Yeah, silly little self-image problems. I like the italics!
You look totally adorable! And that T-shirt is the bomb! LOVE IT!
Thank you, Penny. Aw shucks. I do love this t-shirt!
I love the pic! You look cute as a button. And the T Shirt is great:)
You make money writing? I am in awe. I bow down to you as a Writing Goddess!
You look great BTW!
Thanks, Sandra. I think that t-shirt is outstanding!
LOL Roberta! I do make money sometimes! Every time I have a picture taken I think I look tired. I guess I’m tired!
Aren’t all writers tired? Cool shirt.
Totally, Ray. On both counts.
Your selfie is adorable and I love the shirt!
Thanks, Amber!
I should get me one of those! I love it!
He has a link to order them on his site, Lex. From Zazzle.
Bollocks, you look great stop being so Carly
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.
Oh Anny- too funny! The shirt is great, huh!
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.
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.
