Wow.  
So many people look just like I imagined!

[Me the rest of the time](http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b248/katiecairnsirishgirl/Photos%20of%20me/?action=view&current=HPIM0341.jpg).

I do not photograph well (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it).

I call “shenanigans!” Your handle’s **irishgirl** , and you _don’t_ have red hair! That’s like an Irishman having a name like “Allen” as his last name! 😉 Too bad you’re married.

Oooh. I just got a few pics back from Sunday’s NASD stuff…

[Me & my drum](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/MachTurtle/MeinRegalia-ForWeb.jpg)

I usually don’t say much about my work but I’m darn proud of that regalia. It took me a month’s worth of hard work to finish AND nothing fell off of it when I danced!

That’s a wild outfit! I’m guessing you’re part of a show?

Damnit. I was going to take a good current picture of me and start this thread.

I really wish I had taken a good post-weightloss pre-hospitalization picture of myself, but I didn’t, so I guess I’ll have to make do with [this old photo](http://www.flickr.com/photos/23557237@N00/176186752/).

Do not photograph well??? Are you kidding??? You are very very (42 more verys) attractive! If you look even better in real life, you could go into modelling if the doctor thing doesn’t work out.

**LunaV** , **DiosaBellissima** , \*\*Indygrrl \*\*, and **The Sausage Creature** are all hot enough to boil Lake Erie. So much for my “Hot chicks aren’t usually smart” theory. I’ve never had any sexy posters, but now I can say that I’ve talked to a few. I knew I paid to be here for a reason. 😃  
[/QUOTE]

“I’ve never had any sexy posters” was supposed to mean wall posters of Bo Derek and Cindy Crawford and such. No smilie can represent my embarassment. Crap.

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan]  
There seems to be a problem with your picture. It looks like the bottom of your tattoo was cut off. Do you have a shot that extends slightly lower than the one you linked to? I’m always fascinated by women with tattoos.  
[/QUOTE]

Nope, nope, that’s all of that particular tattoo. The original, non-electronic verison of that picture extends lower…

**irishgirl** , you’re right. You photograph terribly. I suggest you keep taking pictures, over, and over, and over again, posting each one here, until we’ve determined that you’ve gotten it right. 😃

I always say I’m not going to post to these threads and then after about 8 pages go by I feel like I’m being too antisocial, but then worry that I’ll look like a bandwagon jumper…

Who’d have thought that putting up a picture could be such an existential dilemma?

Post-weightloss? You look fairly typical (and damn cute) in that picture. I assume the reduced weight was a side-effect, not the goal?
