Portrait of My Almost 40-Year Old Self......Sort Of

This is the second last photo from the Pin Up Girl Shoot that I will be sharing. I like it because it reminds me of the old Hollywood film stars when they had those dreamy looking head shots. It captures the essence of being forty although if you saw me at the Town Hall yesterday getting some items faxed you probably wouldn't have recognized me!

Usually you will find me in jeans, a squall jacket and my bad-ass rubber boots (they have skulls and cross bones on them). My hair will be tied back in a pony tail and I wear minimal make-up. You might also notice that I sport two frown lines between my eye brows and some fine crow's feet which I have earned in my almost 40 years of living. But make-up, good lighting and a talented photographer can erase these small "distractions" from a woman's features and highlight the best of her looks. Here is photo #4:
