Photos from Behind Should be Outlawed

Now that I've finally figured out the picture posting thing...we're ready to roll. I'll start off again with my disclaimer. Lol!! No hair and little make up. However I did have a professional photographer. There are several luxuries that I will live without and good lighting is NOT one of them.

Some of my worst memories are of elementary school pictures. Remember those? One child after another. "Click Click Click" No mirror, no adjustments and yes, no lighting change. Normally, no big deal, but when you are the only African American in your class, chances are it's not going to work out for you. Lol! They were so dark I had no features whatsoever. Oh, the injustice.

That was a long way to say, a photographer is a must in my world and Rachel Elzaldi is amazing. I had to make her promise not to photoshop anything. You should have seen her face. :) In exchange I agreed to put on a little make up. I think she's afraid I'll scare off business.

The Shoot

What was really traumatic was when Lanell provided my wardrobe in a sandwich bag. Yes.... a ZIPLOC SANDWICH BAG!!!! Was this little bag, that normally held my children's grapes, capable of holding enough material to cover all my "business?" I think not.

After laughing uncontrollably for a few moments I sucked it up and put the suit on. Now I haven't worn a swimsuit for 20 years except in pageants. And let me tell you, those Mrs. swimsuits are like onesies compared to fitness competition suits. There is no padding, support, or material for that matter. That poor little swimsuit, and I use the term loosely, was stretched within an inch of it's life. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the material pulling....sssshhhhhhhhh

That is enough disclosure for one day! Goodnight...
