In the past I’ve not shied away from posting photos of myself that may (and have) been deemed inappropriate by some people.  So when Jodie had the idea of ‘blogging without makeup’ today (ergo: celebrating ourselves as we are au naturel), I thought I’d join in. Celebrate who I am. Or rue myself. I’m good at ruing 😉

Um, what’s this? Not sure … ‘contemplative’? ‘Serious’?

The third photo is my new Facebook and Twitter avatar as well and I said last night: “Not sure about this profile pic change. It’s like I’m going through Lacan’s Mirror Stage all over again …” My old profile picture was from my twenties and now I’m in my thirties I supposed it was time I embraced the fact and updated. So I did.
