Ah, Mochi - it's a pirate smile! Maybe knowing your irreverent wit helps with that impression, though. Maybe you are sweet and innocent and entirely un-devilish...

IK, I always expect you to have one eye done up like your profile pic! What IS your profile pic? You've got a great smile too!

And Diana, if I looked that good at the end of the day in a lab, I'd need to be the subject of a scientific study!

Which "you", Mochi? Surely not the ME you. I've never been the GND in my life!

AG, I wish I looked like that pic! It's taken from a blogger I love, because the sunglasses look like a comic book word balloon.

So that's what they are! I thought was some funky eyeliner thing under the glasses. Thanks!

You all are truly beautiful! I love seeing these spur of the moment shots.

Mochi, you do have a GREAT smile -- you look like you're up to no good, in a good way. You actually remind me of someone and it's bugging me, because I have yet to place who it is. It's someone with a infectious laugh.

That is funny, because I never felt one way or another about my smile. I always liked my eyes as one of my best features, but my parents never got me braces, and I have a bit of an overbite and some crooked teeth and ye gads, a space between the two front teeth! But so does Lauren Hutton!

I think the bottom line is that WHEN I do that smile, I do look a bit impish

And Janet, you have the coolest, mod-est haircut, Ivory Girl complexion and are one of these women who just keep looking better as they head into their forties and eventually beyond.

This YLF lovefest is fun!

IK -- thanks for clarifying about the avatar. I have also been wondering about those sunglasses!

Ok, here's a candid shot of me -- no makeup, freshly washed and air-dried hair, wearing fleecy loungewear

You ladies are the best!

Ok you guys haven't seen my face before right? Considering I wrote the "Fear of the Lens" post? Well... My face isn't quite scared of the camera... Just my bod So here it is. Taken in November when I just got my hair cut.

Pardon the mess behind me.

Edit: I remembered why I took this pic. this is one of the few occasions where I wore liquid eyeliner.

You are all beautiful beyond words. I love my YLF sisters!

This is soooo hard for me! I am really camera-shy, but here's a peek. I can't guarantee that I'll keep the photo up.

I had a heck of a time getting this photo! Not only is it the end of the day but my camera batteries died. I tried stealing batteries from my son's X Box controller and those didn't work. I finally stole some from the electric pencil sharpener!

*big deep breath*

Hey gorgeous ladies!

This is a great thread. More please

Post work hair & no accessories (except for one of my faves behind me). Also, taken w/my laptop camera, so the lighting is pretty poor.

Post-yoga, pre-shower, blurriness obscuring wrinkles and blemishes, but roots in need of treatment apparent.

After working 9 1/2 hours, I think I forgot to put blush on this morning.

How fun! You are all gorgeous and its great to put a face to a name. I'm always snapping self portraits haha, so i included lots of different hair colors from the past year. Its nice to officially "see" all of you

I feel like such a party pooper for not posting a photo.

Seriously, you should see me today. After all that talk about conventional attractiveness, I've got this horrific allergic rash all over my neck (happens every time I get a slight fever) that feels like a sunburn and makes people have difficulty meeting my eyes when they talk to me. Bring on the antihistamines!

I'm not even sure how to post pictures. What do I do?

I wasn't going to play because it's a half hour after my bedtime and I have 'tired face' but hey, it's not a modeling shoot, right. So, no mascara or whatnot. Just me and my sleepy eyes And since I am way past my bedtime, I'll have to come back tomorrow to see and comment on everyone's posts!

Elisabeth, there is a spot below the post that says "Add Photos to your Post" when you click on it, you can upload from your computer library of files.

I don't have a convenient way of posting a spur of the moment photo but I can post a training vid I made on Friday. No makeup, etc - just how I went to work with the canines....

Wow you are all just beautiful!

Here I am in all my glory!

This was taken five minutes ago after venturing out to pick up my children in nearly 30C heat. No make up and I haven't bothered with my hair - lazy, I know! (Please note school bag in background and dazed expression on my face as evidence that it has been a loooooonnnng day and I haven't yet thought about dinner! ;-))

Sweet dreams to those of you heading off to bed. ~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~* x

oh, YAY! So many more of you! I'm going to come back and say hello individually once I've gotten DS in bed. *waving madly*

Here's mine from PhotoBooth on my Mac. In my favorite lounge attire (I know, grey is not my best color but it goes so well with my accessory Roxy!). It's 10:41 pm so kind of tired face but I put on a smile for y'all!

(I did cheat and brushed my hair but resisted the urge to put on lip gloss.)

Wow, KP, your hair has grown! I think you have a very delicate beauty. I've been called sir many times, back when I had short hair!

Mo, we're lucky we see your face in your photos. You look so much like a dear friend of mine that it's eerie (I know I've told you that, but still, it makes me happy whenever I see your face!).

Cheryl, you look amazing in all those hair colors! What fun to change it up like that.

Anna, you're lovely. Really... I would so want to talk to you if I saw you on the street. Or else mug you for your shoes and clothes. Hmmm.

Shevia, my oxford-sistah! Look at you all post-yoga glowy!

BP, I don't think I've seen you before - glad to meet you!

Deborah, you did it and you look fab. Who needs sharp pencils? So thrilled to see your lovely face (slightly obscured by dying camera).

Ms. KK, I LOVE your haircut!

cciele, I love the photo you posted - it's really a cool shot. Are you wearing titanium glasses? They look like a pair I bought when my son turned 1 and started snatching mine off my face.

Denise, I want to come over and create outfits with you. I can't believe you look like that at 10:41, IN BED. You have the best smile. Sorry you're being slightly upstaged by your also-smiley fur-baby!

*sniffle* You guys are the best for humoring me on this crazy little exercise. I feel like I got to know you a little better today.

More photos welcome!

Here is a candid pic one of the children took the other day.

This thread is awesome.

Thanks for starting this thread, Una. I don't mean to be elusive so am glad for the opportunity to post a pic. I haven't been able to make myself do WIWs yet. I guess this is a good breakthrough. Everybody here is beautiful. Per the recent thread on beauty - it is so much about the inner spirit and not the outer look.

Pic snapped by my hairdresser a week ago.

anne, I love your pic. Have we done a specs thread? Candid shots are often the best ones, don't you think?

Suzanne, *waving* you look lovely! You must have just had your hair done too - I need to start taking pics while at the salon!

This is my warm fuzzies thread now.

This is a lovely thread. Una, you bring such wonderful energy and warmth to YLF. Here I am <gulp>. These were taken by the SO for my work web page about a year ago (hair was longer and lighter from the summer--I could have used a bit of eye make up).

eeeeeek, I'm exposed :)!

Great smile, wide, intelligent eyes and a lovely mane of locks!

OMG, Jonesy, I can't believe what a difference it makes to see you without your sunglasses! You look beautiful and you have such a great warm smile. And I just love your hair that much more after seeing it up close.

Love this thread. I like everyone's smiles.
