Me meme

[vilakins]

A meme, snurched from astrogirl2.

The rules:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing (apart from rotation and resizing).
Post these instructions with your picture.

OK, here you go, As the sun's gone down, I used a flash (and this is about the 15th attempt; I had a hard time even getting my hamster-cheeked face in shot).

You've streaked your hair!

I'm not game to do me.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I have! They don't show up very well but I now have lovely thick caramel streaks, and I like them! Thanks for noticing. :-)

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Awww, you're always so cute. I wonder if I can steal my camera from my dad ad do this one. XDXDDXD Everyone on my flist seems to be going for it. :D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You're so kind!

Do it! I hope others on mine do because I want to know what they look like.

[dameruth.livejournal.com]

Hey, that came out pretty good! Though you do have an edge of "I'm gonna kill this camera if this next shot doesn't work" to your smile. (Either that or I'm projecting a little . . .) ;)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I think my smile got a little fixed by then. :-P

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

What lovely brown eyes. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you!

And ooh, it's your birthday! I have you're having a great one.

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

Why, it's *you*. ^_~

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It is. And without my purple hat!

I like the new hair colour and style, I just wish my hair wasn't wavey and I could wear a stile like that.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! From my pics at Star One, it looks as if I had tiny streaks back then. My hair's more brown now with wider streaks. :-)

If I do nothing to mine, my hair's wavy enough to look messy (the waves only look good once it's shoulder-length, then I'm a 40s broad). I blow it dry then run a straightening iron over it, which keeps it looking OK in the humidity.

There you are! But no tigers in this pic, sadface.x

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

It said "right now", so I think the rules implicitly include "don't go and pick up any cuddly tigers as props".

But it's very good and I like the angle.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

If I'd thought of it, I could have held one of my two plush tiger cubs (one white, one orange). Here's a drawing of the white one (http://vilakins.livejournal.com/311302.html) to console you. (I was so stuck for subjects last year, I even turned to plushies).

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Whee! Hello! I do like the streaks, subtle, but lively. :^)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Actually they're not that subtle in RL! They look very good though--wide caramel on chocolate--and I'm keeping 'em.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

You're the first person I've seen actually smiling when they do this meme, so, win:D!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

The smile was getting a bit fixed after the 15th go at getting my aim right! I think Astro's smiling slightly though. :-)

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Lovely you! No wonder I love your pictures...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Um, thank you!

[arenee1999]

Hello! It's nice to see you. :) I like being able to put faces to the people I talk to.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I agree; otherwise I tend to think they look like their default icons. ;-) I hope lots of people do this meme.

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

I am totally jealous of your haircut. It looks great!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It usually looks nicer than that, but I wasn't allowed to brush it. It's chin-length at the front and cut up the back a bit like Christopher Robin. :-) It took ages to grow into the right shape from a very short cut (see icon above), but I love it.

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

That's a great pic of you. Very much like your icon. Love the hair cut and nice, friendly and with just a bit of mischief in those eyes =)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! :-) I'm surprised I'm not looking annoyed as it took so long to get my aim right.

[redstarrobot.livejournal.com]

Cute as ever, my dear.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! That's not an adjective I hear about me in RL. :-)
