Wherein I fall into my own reflection and drown.
Here are some unretouched publicity pics from the photo shoot.
My three faves, in fact.
and just for laughs, here's a web cam shot of me with a full face of makeup.
A shot like this is both rare and elusive:
Turns out, I'm actually better at making myself look like a zombie than like someone who actually knows how to apply makeups.
Only two poems thusfar in the Poetry Challenge. I am finding that unless I have a story in mind that I want to tell through poetic means, it is utterly impossible to create poetry without inspiration. FYI, you can read my fancy, rhyming, word thingys over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

wednes, and I write.
I also changed the layout of my writing journal, which was a pain in the ass because I forgot about all the customization upgrades I get with my paid account. I've had a paid LJ for over 5 years now. Crazy. I don't even have Netflix. But I digress. I needed a layout that was more poetry friendly, which is to say something that won't screw with the appearance of the poem because there's a userpic in the way.
I require inspiration to write poetry. Basically that means I need to start doing more things I wouldn't ordinarily do. I need some fresh experiences, some new perspectives, more facts, more knowledge. The things that are most important to me seem far too trite and overdone to make poetry fine enough to put my name on. *snerk* Seems to me that the point of poetry is to prominently display the supposedly mundane. Small things can move us just as much as the big stuff--unless we're the repressed type that tries to talk themselves out of what they're actually feeling because its "silly." Anyway, my point here is that 100 poems is going to be a lot more than I thought. Luckily, I have a new notebook.

It's gotten a pretty great reaction. It may even end up as my holiday card this year. Hahahahahaa! When I get it back from the photog, I'll be sure to send one your way.

If you're ever in my neck of the woods, check out Oakwood Cemetery in Fenton. It's pretty old and very creepy: http://www.graveaddiction.com/oakwoo.html

I didn't realize you were so close to me, geographically.
I'm pretty sure that third pic will go on the back of this book. But I'll probably get a lot of mileage out of it, it's pretty good.

OMG, that's so close to how I feel, but for me it's at making myself look like a drag queen. I was blown away when several people complimented my hair and makeup at a LARP this weekend -- not the character, but me. They though *I* looked good with that hair and makeup. WTF?
I love that first pic!

I used to have a roommate who was a drag queen. I assure you, you're much hotter than him. ;-]
And thanks!
