Wow. Did you take a Betty Edwards course, or read her books?

I know I’ve shown these before, but [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/44957517@N00/sets/72157608027467460/) are four different pics of me.

The first picture is closest to my current haircut, the picture of me in the awful dress (taken prior to my women’s rugby team “Prom Dress Rugby” fundraiser), is closer to my current weight.

I didn’t do the sketch.

I’m more inclined toward “Betty Page” than “Betty Edwards”. I had not heard of her before your reply. Interesting.

I see what you guys are saying. Once I saw **Alice** ’s post, I realized how dumb and insensitive that came out, and I do feel bad about that. I could blame it on only getting four hours of sleep in three days, but that’s a stupid excuse, so instead I’m just going to apologize to **Alice** and anyone else who may have taken offense at my comment. I’m really sorry. ☹

I’m not sure I’d want to associate with you, man. You look a little sketchy.

And so you should be - everyone knows I’m the best looking person in this thread.

Hah, good one. But no, _my_ self-portraits look a little sketchy. That shit looks _drawn_. I don’t wanna sound like a stalker or nothin’, but I can’t stop looking at it. I’ve always wanted to be able to draw like that.

Not that particular photo, but I was looking at some of the other pics that you had and you had one labeled as at the record store and , that snagged my attention.

One of the great regrets of my life is that I never dated a yoga master. The possibilities are mind-staggering.

Well, my friends do say my boyfriend must be very lucky when they watch me practise yoga.

Ahem, anyway, moving on…
