Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful (aka The Camera Doesn’t Lie)
That title? It’s sarcasm, folks. Pure sarcasm. Everyone tells you that it’s a lot harder to bounce back after the second baby but I never paid any attention. Dry skin, zits, baby fat, cellulite, eye bags, jowls, saggy boobs…I got the whole enchilada (that stupid new camera refuses to lie). But somehow, I don’t think this is what they meant when they coined the phrase “having it all”
Hubz, on the other hand, is exactly the same except for a few more gray hairs. It’s SO unfair! There is an upside, though. Two really cute ones, actually. See for yourself. New photos have finally been added to my Flickr box…
ADDENDUM: You guys are way too nice. Perhaps it’s because you can’t see the GIANT hi-resolution fill-the-whole-monitor version of these photos but I look terrible. You can SEE my eye wrinkles in a few of them and I’m fatter than I’ve ever been. I’m only sharing them because I feel like I need to make peace with reality. Seriously, these are NOT good photos. Only Hubz and the kids look good. I should post some of the REALLY bad ones…the DOUBLE CHIN shots. I’m working up to it. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
GREAT flickr pics. Your family is so sweet. And that camera takes a MIGHTY FINE picture. More. MORE!
You look pretty hot to me. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I agree with RH. You are totally hot, mama. :-)
Well, I think you are still pretty smoking…
Great pictures :)
WOW. You guys are totally HnS. HELLO!
those pics are great. what a cute little family!!
Yep, I’m not buying it either… You look great.
Btw, are you loving the camera?
Um, why do you think I posted a photo of me in eyeglasses and a bjorn blocking my entire torso? You on the other hand are a visual force to be reckoned with.
Gee, if I only looked as bad as you! And your children are adorable.
Simply on a blog-by so I have no investment here. I have no hesitation saying that you are one fine looking lady.
Adorable kids too.
Take care
Michael
Your family is adorable!
OK hot mom - yeah, better take care of that unsightly clear skin.
Your post about zits, wrinkles, etc. reminded me to order some more face cream.
Beautiful family and I’m so jealous of the scenery.
Please. You look great in a hat.
My pic is in bar light. We all know everyone looks good in bar light.
That’s how I met my husband.
heh.
heh.
I’m with the ladies - you look fine to me. Mighty fine. (Although as a concurrent sufferer of both wrinkles and zits, I must say - WTF?! Aren’t these supposed to come at separate times?!)
your kids are gorgeous and you have a fabulous smile!!
Shut the F up, you fresh-faced princess. Enjoy it while you got it! Because you got it!
I’m right there with you, but from what I’ve seen you have no need to worry. Very cute family. I have to say if your still concerned, the SB-600 for fill in will blast off any imperfections. You’ll be 55 and still come off looking like an 18 year old pulling shifts at “The Doll House.”
You’re being way too modest.
And I’ve counted - and I only see ONE chin, girl.
Um- yeah! Seriously, after reading your description I braced myself and clicked on the flickr badge- um…. what’s the problem.
You are a beauty! And one of those natural beauties at that!
Thanks for all the ego-boosting. It’s totally appreciated but ya’ll are BLIND! Go look again. I added some pictures that weren’t showing up all day. Look how friggin’ fat I am in the full body pictures. You can’t miss it.
STOP ABUSING YOURSELF!
For real. You are beautiful.
ha, well, misterpie does this bizarre chin-tuck thing whenever faced with a camera that creates a double chin where none normally exists, so I know from bad pictures, and this ain’t it. So hush, little baby, don’t say a word, or mama’s going to buy you a mockingbird. And it will mock you AND you will have to change its cage. Don’t ask, I’m rambling.
I think you and your family are some good-looking people. I’d like to give your son a big smooch on those cheeks!
OK, I kept meaning to come back and post… but you are one seriously, seriously photogenic family. You’re gorgeous! Hot mama! Cute kids! Handsome hubby!
You know me and my integrity thing. I would not lie.
