Selfies

I don’t do selfies. NEVER have!!!
And when I take an unexpected pose for a photo request I also don’t pose in photos with that one arm on the hip syndrome when standing and striking a pose like a fashion model. I am just ME.

Here’s my NEW headshot. No, I am not in the pose I just told you about above. I am sitting on a couch and resting my arm on arm of the chair.The photographer captured me last week like I never expected.She bought my soul and spirit to life.I added the fun sunglasses as I am crazy for all things lips! I love the way the pic’ turned out. Do you?
This photographer from Poland rocks the lens like no one else I have ever been with!!!

I used to take a photo with my twin and am so happy I have those memories as my twin died unexpectedly. Since that time I decided to take photographs more often.I convinced my many sisters to do it too.Each year is like a chapter of your life. Life is short I made it a point to take a photo every few years so I can see the many sides of me.Every face has a story.

When did you last take a photo if ever with a professional photographer and not NOT a selfie?

What does your picture and face say about you?

PS
If you are lucky enough to live in or near or vacation in Jacksonville,Florida maybe just maybe you need to book an appointment with Anetta Nadolna of Art’n’Illusion Photography.

Did you see those Vixens?

Dressed in lace with a beautiful face those Victoria’s Secret Vixens pranced on the runway Tuesday night. Panties and bras with diamonds,gem stones,silk,ribbons,tulle and so much more. The show continues to impress!

Spray tanned to make every inch look skinnier,sexier and tan. You don’t think they wake up that way do you? Made up by my makeup artist friends… they frolic and glide across the runway in VS style! Bombshell hair and flawless make-up. I hate them …I’m only 5’2 and cannot strut my stuff in glamazon HIGH size heels. Rihanna and Justin Bieber wowed the crowd too. Loved them too. They were a nice touch too!

Do want to shine like a diamond? Wanna bring your sexy on?

Think about prancing and posing PIN UP pretty. Bring out your inner angel. Be naughty or nice. Now’s, the time to get started on thinking about V-day ladies (Valentine’s day). Find a photographer who specializes in beautiful photos and bring your sexy back…it’s fun,flirty and a nice memory to have. Surprise that special someone for Valentine’s day which is on its way…it too will be here before you know it. I did a pin up photo for my sweetie a few years back.I am really thinking about doing a new photo too. I just met this photographer who does sexy pin ups here’s a photo of Cass Martinez work.Love this photo says so much without being what you think sexy is. I’ll keep you posted and bring you to my photo shoot.
