Best Shot Monday: Truthiness In A New Decade

14 comments

A couple weeks ago, Sweetney challenged us all to post a picture of the real us. Our true selves in all our glory. I have been wanting to do it, but decided to wait for today, my 30th birthday, to take a pic and post it for all of you to feel better about yourselves. I love this idea that we can strip away all the perfect angles and photo re-touching and just embrace who we are. I probably look like this in real life more often than not (maybe with my hair brushed a bit), and my friends are probably saying “um, this pic is exactly how you always look”, but this was me this morning upon waking up. It’s a slightly blurry pic, because what am I, nuts? Only a little.

  1. Ice Cream Said,

    I just found you through Just Jamie and had to say that your morning hair looks SO much better than mine. I have frizzy hair that must be tamed with much mousse. Therefore my hair looks just like it does when I’m laying down, squashed against my pillow. Not a pretty site at 6am.

  2. Ashlee Said,

    Exactly. Um, you look this good even in the morning?! And I’m thinking the bed head is pretty cute! Happy Birthday. I think 30 will suit you well.

  3. Tara Said,

    oh my. If I looked that good in the morning [I can only WISH my bangs would do that!] I would be stoked!

    Your hot mama!

  4. Carrington Said,

  5. Adventures In Babywearing Said,

  13. Truthiness (BSM - 4/7/08) | Crunchy Domestic Goddess Said,

    [...] since Sweetney did her Truthiness Self-portrait post about a month ago, many women I know from around the ‘net have joined in to share themselves first thing in the morning [...]

  14. Keeping It Real: A Pic Of Our Messy House | To Think Is To Create Said,

    [...] a lot like Sweetney’s Truthiness mission statement about showing our true selves, which I participated in and loved. I decided to start a Flickr pool, and if you want to take a pic of one of your living [...]
