matildaben! I just love your kicky do! That is all.
Absolutely. Everyone looks amazing. DaShiv not only finds flattering camera angles, he also captures people with warm, lively, interesting looks on their faces.
MB, your new Flickr ID photo is also awesome. It has a realy 40s punup look, all red-lipsticky and over-the-shoulder coy.
Okay - finally I have the perfect opportunity: What specifically makes something "kicky?" I mean - in general, when I see or hear something refered to as "kicky" I can sort of recognize that said item belongs in the kicky set, but I'll be damned if I can think of anything quantifiable to justify myself. Anyone?
Not trying to be obtuse, but - what are the elements of "sassy?" I mean, I can look at MB's haircut and see the kicky, cute, and sassy, but if you just gave me the kicky, cute, and sassy, I wouldn't know how to get back to that haircut. What makes it "sassy?" Does a "kicky do" have to be short? How about "kicky" shoes or a "kicky" dress? Short? Fun? Flirty? And what constitutes "fun" or "flirty?" Sigh. It's an eye of the beholder thing, isn't it?
It looks like it was a nice meet. Much more fun than I had on that Friday night – the last part of a long road trip (over 5000 car miles in 2.5 weeks) found me desperately wanting to get the hell away from my Colorado relatives and back to the coastal northwest.
(Of course, my day in Portland had to fall over a week before the meet.)
That is a wonderful photo -- I will now always think of matildaben as the Cheshire Cat (and I mean that in a totally positive way, of course). *Such* a great smile, and those cats-eye glasses! Wonderful.
