Meh. Go at it.

Natalie, you look GREAT! I love the outfits, I love you hair, and I love your smile. You don't have any closeups, but from what i can see, I think you'll have few if any problems, hon. Thanks for the pics.

HUGS

You do look great. Keep smiling its so appealing. If your Bras too tight get a new one or head to underworks on the net to get an extender. They come in packs of 4 and are way cheaper than a good bra. They also have good padded panties for a better hip-butt look.

Hugs to a cutie, Charlie

Hi. You look very nice indeed. Very good taste in clothes I might add!

Hugs

Huggles

[Guest Risu]

Okay... in all brutal honesty here...

you look INCREDIBLE! You pass flawlessly to me as far as pictures go. Your hair is beautiful and so are all those outfits! So long as you're confident and comfortable with your voice, walk, and mannerisms then I'm sure you'll do fine and I doubt you'll have any issues.

Absolutely beautiful.

*Hugs*

For crying in the sink, what have you been complaining about on not looking right and sweating the little stuff about what will make you look better feminine??? Take what you've got, and go dancing!!!!

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Brutally honest eh? Well alright..I think your neck muscles need toning to keep your head from tilting to the side in two of those pictures. Not very flattering. Instead how about turning your head slightly to the left or right about 45 degrees and then tilt your head down slightly. Straight on photos are never very flattering and make people look like they're part of a police line up. Instead, practice different poses, different angles, until you find your most flattering ones. Take a bunch of pics and then sort through the good and bad, (delete the bad ones), and look at the good ones and focus on what you liked about those. Flip through a woman's magazine and look how the Hollywood stars and models are standing, posing for the camera, etc.

And stop putting your arms behind you! Only do that if you're holding a surprise behind your back. Again, try different poses and putting, say one hand on your hip. You can even tuck your fingers into your hand (like making a loose fist) with your hand on your hip if you're worried about large hands.

Oh and perhaps try a side part with your hair instead of right down the middle. Add some curl-enhancing mousse to bring out your natural curls/waves and make other women totally jealous of your hair. (it's a great ego boost!) But yeah, giving your hair a side part will add a little bit of volume and add a little foxiness to your look.

Be wary of long pieces that aren't flattering and hide your figure. You don't want to look like a school marm or librarian. Toss on a decorative belt to break up a long dress and give your waist some definition. The pic of your favorite dress is a good example of this with the empire waist. Some of your other dresses, though they may be a little more fitted at the waist due to cut or stitching, isn't really noticeable. Some times separates work better than a dress, like your skirt pic.

I didn't see anything that was glaringly obvious so I thought I would just point out a couple tiny things.

@vickysvg

Ha, wrll the hands behind my back is something I developed in my hard times dealing with life. It always meant that i was confident to myself. It helps me to get allong with my day. I'm not fully willing to change that one, but the other is good advice, thank you.

I've been yelled at my friend for looking too old. Frankly I don't honestly care too much about looking age wise. But I like the belt idea. And I hate worrying about looking "sexy" I don't understand it at all... I can look nice or pretty, but I don't understand how anything can looksm sexy. I just don't think of stuff like that.

[Guest Jess_k]

Natalie you're looking really great! I especially love that long, blue dress - maybe even a tad jealous!

[Guest Alina_M]

OMG you are beautiful!

[Guest katiemarie90]

You look gorgeous girl! Very passable.

[Guest Deenah]

No need to worry girl, go get um....

[Guest ZensandT]

You are so gorgeous. I'm seriously jealous! Tip: Scarves work wonders on hiding the neck!

[Guest Lexi_^-^]

Your so pretty Natalie! I love your sundress ^-^ gosh you look so sweet in your photos, and I'm way jealous of your legs and armssss XD

I have no pointers, except maybe show off your arms a bit, it looks like your hiding em.

But maybe thats just habbit idk!

Anyways you look great ^-^

[Guest CattalieChan]

@megan I'm doing really good. Off at college mostly passing but no one cares either way and if they did they didn't do anything about it. Getting into the college life, though it's been a few weeks and still no tests so far. Joining the sorority and just generally having fun.
