They are nice, but... what's the back story here? Are you a friend of hers? Did she do them with her toes? Did she suddenly die of a botched nose piercing, only to leave her oeuvre to be found under mysterious circumstances 15 years later?

Yeah, I'm picky :P

Just found it on Flickr and thought it was good stuff.

Good enough not to need a back story. :-)

I like them; especially her more recent self portraits. But I like Madamina's ideas for a back-story.
