And as for Audrey Hepburn... yum. Just... yum."
Finally you are making sense Eustace . . . I hope you get a real job soon

I really enjoy your posts butt I would prefer to keep it a secret :devil:
Strange, I think that I've been insulted, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how...
Audrey Hepburn is an example of somebody who photographed well her entire life, in black and white or in color. Some aren't so lucky. Brigitte Bardot in her early modeling years was a knockout, but then came Vadim and her film career, and she aged badly. And some people don't photograph well at all.
Like me.
I gaze in the bathroom mirror in the morning, and I see the image of an Adonis.
I then put on my glasses, and avoid mirrors the rest of the day. I also avoid being photographed if I can help it. Most of the recent pix of me show an unlikely cross between Barney Fife and Elmer Fudd.
Due to reasons beyond my control, I missed my Senior yearbook photo appointment, and the school never bothered to reschedule. Over the years, I grew to appreciate their wisdom.
This next part is very true: The last time I was photographed at the DMV, the result literally broke their camera. They had to reschedule, and while the result wasn't quite that bad, people looking at my driver's license still take a second, or even a third glance, wondering why the image looks very much like a balding, over-ripe tomato about to burst. I explain it away as having a bad sunburn that day.
