I want to say "WHY TO GO YANKEES"

I’m from south of N. Falls NY a little town called Angola, and I’m a Yankees fan, I’ve never been to an actual game but I enjoy watching them on TV.

My son is a Mets fan, but then again it’s a NY team.

Yeah YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I’m photogenic alright. Some would say I look better on film than I do in person. :-)

I can count the number of pics of me that I’ve liked on one hand. Even my children say most pics of me don’t really look like me.

Caren, if your profile pic is you, then in that picture you look lovely, lively and very open to life!  People tell me I’m photgenic, but what I wouldn’t give to have your beautiful hair and coloring!  Bleinda, your picture is very intriguing!  It evokes a sense of mystery!  Sherrie, I wish I could see you pic better…… but you have a lovely smile.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! :)

not at all. for one thing i’m short and muscular. which on film just translates to ROUND lol. I’m white and my underlying skin tone is a pink or red so i end up just looking pasty. Nope… not photogenic at all. But life’s to short to care!

Well, *now* I am. I used to hate pictures taken of me. I was so self-conscious. Now, I just smile and that’s that, I guess I got an attitude over the years, and it has translated to film. : D (Please…I waited long enough!) Of course, I can "pair" things wrong hairdo & dress, I am thinking of a vintage dress with a modern hairstyle I wore not long ago at a wedding (Oh God!) but so what. I lived. (And I have my excuses. ; ) And I would post a picture here so you could all argue with me about this (haha) but I really like the freedom of being anonymous and just chatting with all you *lovely* people. I am still very shy of the Internet, accessible as it is to the whole, wide, world.

Used to be, very in fact.  Now?  Only when I smile.  In repose Mr. Wow looks…always a little mournful and every second his age.

No, no, not me, no way. I agree with Sherrie, I can count on one hand the number of pics of me i have liked, and I’m referring to my whole life. I always disliked my school pictures. My mother would say, "I don’t know why you don’t like it, it looks just like you" I guess that was the problem.

I was very self conscious about myself growing up. Now, I really don’t care - life is too short to care.

I am usually not crazy about pictures of me, but that doesn’t mean that others think the same - there are few pictures of my mother at various events over the years and the ones that exist show her open hostility to the camera, so that’s really not a great way to be. I get in whatever picture I am supposed to because it might matter to someone else! I have learned so much from the negative behaviors of my folks - too bad the gratitude I have as a result can’t be properly expressed to them…

Life is definitely too short to care.

Once upon a time, yes, when I was young and cute.  Now that I’m older, (and a little, ahem, curvier) not so much anymore.

In good pics, I look like an angry badger.  In bad ones….well, I’ve seen more attractive pics on post office walls.

oh donna thanx for giving me something to chuckle about. i always take horrible pics at the DMV because for some reason i get pissed off just before or during the picture. so when it came time for me to take my last pic at DMV i put on some makeup, did my hair and got dressed up. the pic on here is from my last DMV pic and of course i can find fault with it (mostly because it looks like me, lol) but my daughter was very happy with it!
