Well it’s just that I so rarely get all dressed up and stuff.

[This one](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/OpalCat2006/oct8_008) is from about a year and a half ago. I may have posted it in a previous pic thread, not sure. [Here is a closeup](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/OpalCat2006/midnight010806) from the same night. I’m actually wearing lipstick, which happens about twice a year.  
[This photo](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/WithPeople/DSC03649) from Halloween 2004 is my cellphone wallpaper. That’s my boyfriend and me on the dance floor at my favorite club. I must have hugged somebody earlier though because I have a smudge of something on my jaw. I still love the pic, though.

See, this is in contrast to things like [this one](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/OpalCat2006/StMaarten122) where I have messy wind-blown hair, slouchy shoulders, and am showing how incredibly un-toned I am and being completely upstaged by the beautiful background of the island of St. Maarten.

Late to the party, as always.

From [last year’s show](http://www.gilbertsullivan.org/GSSA/Ruddigore%202007_files/_MG_7031.jpg). I’m on the right.

And no, that’s not my real hair.

[QUOTE=Argent Towers]  
Interesting…why exactly did you think I looked like that, just from what I’ve posted here? I’m curious what it is about my writing that would generate a mental image of that particular appearance.  
[/QUOTE]

I have no idea. I always pictured you as a bigger dude with dark hair… er… in a giant silver tower.

Well but I’m not wearing lipstick in that one. I think it makes a big difference because without it I’m missing about a quarter of my upper lip, but with lipstick I can fake it and have kind of normal lips! [this one shows my “real” lip pretty well.](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/OpalCat2008/haircut_007?full=1) (dogbite, age 2, for those who might wonder)

Are you referring to the brindle or the lab?

…and yet about a half dozen guys have posted wanting to kiss 75% of your upper lip well over 100% of the time. Good thing you’ve got a BF, girl, or you’d be the hottest thing since gold commodities in the middle of a Bush presidency…

…green eyes too. day-amn. Watch out for that David Lo-Pan character, btw…

Sometimes I find true inspiration. Like when I have [booze and smokes.](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g122/cluricaun_2006/PIC-0055.jpg). Despite the silly hat in the first post I had in this one, this is pretty much what I look like all the time, with a bit more beard because of the beard thread.
