Photo's...

[Guest Diva D]

I just took a photo of myself, and it made me realise just how masculine I really look. Mighty depressing feeling. Makes me wonder sometimes why I just don't try to live out my time without dealing with these issues.

Then I realise I've tried that, and gotten nowhere.

Then again, I do have another photo showing me when I went out a couple of months ago, and I think I look ok. (the body hair is annoying as hell though)

p.s. Yes, I have never worn make up in my life.

I like your hair in the first pic, it has so much potential, a stylist could do a lot with it. Did it take long to grow it out to that length? Try to put it into a style that will cover your forehead and frame your cheekbones. I'm not an expert but just a suggestion based on things I've read about wigs.

In your second pic I like your nails especially. I bite mine. Your expression is good. And yeah body hair straw inhalers. I nair'd the heck out of my chest the other day for no reason, simply because I hated looking at the body hair.

It's good that you can express yourself in public. I'm way too weak to do that yet. If you don't feel like doing it is worth the trouble anymore, then don't. If the happiness it brings you outweighs the trouble though, then it's worth it.

I feel the same way, but it is all in how you feel in side. You can not deny one part of yourself. I have tried this for years, always coming up with different reasons, but all the time feeling miserable. You must be who you are. This is the only way to be happy.

aww don't feel so depressed about it, a photograph can be very flattering or totally the opposite. most of the time the camera does lie and besides, what you see in your photo will be totally different to what i see in your photo i don't think the first one's that bad. but it's quite unflattering anyway, because a shadow is cast below your brow and above your lip. so it's a bad photo anyway , it's mostly not your looks.

anyway, things will change with time and hope. please don't be so down over an ugly photo, i'm sure you're a beautiful person

Yeah, I've seen some unmentionable amount of people in TV shows, and I've seen quite a few who look a lot better in person.

Yeah, I've seen some unmentionable amount of people in TV shows, and I've seen quite a few who look a lot better in person. The camera is biased and lies everytime Don't trust it ^^

[Guest Diva D]

Thanks everyone.

I usually trust the camera... But that's because I usually am behind the lens!

It has made me think, so it's good in a way. For instance, I realise how badly I need to get my hair done now. I've been growing it for almost 3 years, and it is starting to look rather shabby outside of anything but a bun. I'll have a long talk with a stylist, and thanks for the suggestions Michelle, I'll keep them in mind when I get it done.

I tried the same thing but I can't even take a good picture passing as a man much less a woman. Ooohh how I hate being in front of a camera.
