You are really cute in person....but....

I have the absolute best hairdresser in the WORLD, he is at a super fancy salon on a super fancy street in Boston.  He is awesome, truly an artist.  He can take one look at you and give you an amazing cut and color and you walk out of the salon feeling like a snappy go-getter, perfectly coiffed and lookin' fine.

Except..........he is brutally honest and.......... well, downright mean at times.  For example.....he once told me that I was "really cute in person, but completely unphotogenic."  Just like that.  Meaning....I look like crap in pictures.  Well....usually I take his bullshit honesty with a grain of salt...I mean this guy cuts hair for a living and all the does and thinks about is BEAUTY and MORE BEAUTY.  He is surrounded by fake boobs, botox, eye lifts, tummy tucks, and hair extensions.  Imperfections are not part of his world.    So, I got to thinking....maybe he is right? I mean, I'm no super model or anything....but am I truly that unphotogenic?  I look pretty decent in my wedding pics and some candids of us on vacation aren't too bad.  Or, at least I think so....or maybe I am delusional??

I still don't have the answer....I like myself in most pictures (with the exception of the dumbass video made of me singing entirely off-tune and robotically dancing to Sweet Caroline at the Sox game, thanks a ton Flossy.)...and everyone has some pictures that don't show their best side(s), but really...who gives a crap?  So what if I don't look like Elle McPherson or Linda Evangelista....cause I can tell you ONE thing I have learned.  Sometimes those who looks so damn good on the glossy covers of a magazine, or amazing in all photos/vidoes really look like WEIRDOS in real life.  So I am glad I look better in person ....cause really it's all about real life....not friggin pictures.  

So boo to you Mr. Hairdresser.  Now cut and color my hair so I look foxy!   Hmmmph!
