Forums

We haven't done one of these since the old EC crashed. So... use this thread to post a photo of yourself please. Let's see the faces behind the screen names. :popcorn Should we do families in this thread too (children and significant others) or should I start a new thread?

Paintlover Sat, 05/23/2009 - 10:06

WOW!!! Everyone has such great photos of themselves and their families!!!!

I'm with Lipigirl on the name change to EC4B!!! :laugh1

I'll have to dig up a photo of myself somewhere??? I'm the one behind the camera so I don't have to many of them. :D

Sara Sat, 05/23/2009 - 10:37

I swear I have children and both of them will be in high school next year. I'll snap some new pics of them this weekend and get them posted. :)

bolana Sat, 05/23/2009 - 16:53

Heather, I think you need to have a good look in the mirror. You have beautiful, capatavating, dark eyes with lovely, glossy dark hair 8-)

Bolana, other beauty on here! With a spunky other half too 8-)

Sara Sun, 05/24/2009 - 11:41

Wow! MP, all dressed up. Nice!

I'm terrible at guessing ages so I'm not even going to try. :)

Heidi Sun, 05/24/2009 - 12:04

Oh I agree, very niiiiiice! [i]I think I luff your boots.[/i] 23 popped into my head. I think you look younger, but 23 is the number in my head that I can't get out.

Bolana, how long is your hair? ...and Heather, I like your smile.
I may be jealous of your beautiful, dark and shiny hairthatIcanseenograyin, but that is a personal problem of mine. Hm. I *do* seem to be fixated on hair, recently. I'm seeing these great info-mmercials about a pony-tail comb that looks comfortable and pretty...and I've cut my hair to chin length. Gah. I miss my long hair...but for right now, until I am able to stop the meds that make my lose hair, short it will have to be. I like this short style, it really is easy to care for and style nicely, but it must be something to do with horses and long hair. I miss it.

Heather Sun, 05/24/2009 - 13:23

HAHA!! no grey, its called redken expresso/plum mix with clear LOL i started going grey in my 20s

Jodi Sun, 05/24/2009 - 15:38

Bolona yowzaaaaa!!!!!!
Heather you know your hot and BTW Her Hubby is a hunk!!!!!
AND MP wow and I must comment on the very sexy BOOTS! :whip :whip :whip

Heidi Sun, 05/24/2009 - 15:51

[quote="Heather"]HAHA!! no grey, its called redken expresso/plum mix with clear LOL i started going grey in my 20s[/quote]
Ah, the secret is OUT! I used to use L'Oreal # something or other...the color was an ash walnut or walnut w/ slight auburn. But I had colored it for so long, I was finally *tired* of coloring it and wanted to see how much gray I had, and I don't think I'm seeing enough. Now, I'm not so sure I *like* seeing the gray...but I'm going to give it a little more time before I may color. I'll wait and see how energetic I feel this summer. If I'm feeling old/tired I'll probably leave the gray. However, with my Corvette back and if I'm feeling like I have more energy...I may just go pick out a color and let my 2-tone silver car be all the silver I need in my life.
I'm just over 40 and my sis is 3yrs younger. She was already salt/pepper in High School and is now probably 60-70% gray. ...and I think I'm jealous! Our father was silver by the time he was 35 and I guess I'm wishing I could have had his silver hair.

Monsterpony Sun, 05/24/2009 - 16:30

Those boots are my favorite footwear. They are 3 inch heels, but I can (and have) walk around in them all day. My friends call them my hooker boots, hence me doing the Pretty Woman move in that photo :D

Heidi- I can understand the loss of the long hair. I chopped my hair off in an extremely impulsive move right when I started my first year of vet school. I was pissed off for some stupid reason (that I can't recall at all) and was at the mall trying to walk off my anger. I was in one store and looking at a cool flat iron and I suddenly set the iron down, walked out of the store and into the salon next door and said I wanted them to cut off enough hair to send to Locks Of Love. The stylist got rather carried away in styling it after the first cut and I ended losing a good 18 inches. I'd not had hair shorter than the middle of my back since second grade so I was at complete loss as to what to do with it.

[quote="hoofpick"]Love this thread! You guys look great!!
Knowing what you look like makes chatting to you more real - not a good choice of words but do you know what I mean?[/quote]

Feel the same way. Had pictured you (hoofpick) as a dark brunette though. Don't ask me why.
I knew that Lipi, Jodi, Heidi, Jenks were stunning. Sara has not changed one bit since she was 17 (I suspect) :o and MP has the loviest dimples. (I always wanted that, but no such luck) I did not recognize ACC with longer hair (oops) and Heather looks lovely and like someone you could tell all your problems and secrets to. :) Glad to 'meet' CM, TCF, Pamela [size=75](the Miranda Lambert remark Jodi made is funny. Must be something in the water then, since they "live" close to another) [/size] RMT, Dillutes, Morgan and Bolana (WOW).
The pic of Heidi's husband in kilt but in front of the dishwasher cracked me up though. :P :lol:
Paintlover, hope to 'meet' you soon. I have the same excuse. I have nothing worth looking at since I was 5 years old (when I was still cute) But who cares. Here you go.

Me last year (in the middle)

me working [size=75](the one without the mustache)[/size]

and 3 seconds of me yesterday (I tried hard to dodge the camera, but that did not work. Me at a fundaiser, between 18 and 21 seconds on the left) :rofl

I agree with the sentiment that it is nice to be able to picture who you are talking too. Also, I can vouch that Sara looks as young in real life as her pictures show. When I first met her, I'll admit that I spent a few minutes trying to calculate how old she could be and still have kids that were the ages hers were :rofl But I can commiserate. That pic I posted of me and asked about my age was taken only a few months ago (and I am definitely older than the guesses :D ). Last December, I actually had a high school aged coworker ask me what grade I was in :BH

Monsterpony Sun, 05/24/2009 - 19:24

[quote="Jodi"]Well they r hot... maybe thats what I need today!!! :D :D :D[/quote]

One of the best things to lighten a mood is to get all dressed up and have a night out with girlfriends. Just go out and dance! Actually, I have a tendency to just dance around my house whenever music starts playing :D

When I was 13 people used to think I was married to my brother. :oops: So I have pretty much looked the same for the past 10 years. :rofl On the other hand my oldest sister is 32 and people still look at her and think she is about 19. :laugh1

Heidi Sun, 05/24/2009 - 19:40

VL! You have a widow's peak! I *love* widow's peak hairlines! I don't know why...but I just do!
...and PL: My! What blue eyes you have! ...and a very nice smile.

Disclaimer about hubby's Scottish Kilt w/ Claymore in the modern kitchen... [i]We were at a Halloween party and it was too dark outside for proper photos in the woods and grassy meadow, so our host's kitchen had to do. I wish I could get him dressed up again, with me. He is looking for a remote trigger/timer for our camera so maybe this fall we'll get dressed up agaian, set the Nikon on a tripod and use the remote to get pics of us, and maybe Tigre, too.[/i]

I told hubby about you getting a kick out of the photo and he laughed, too. So, maybe it won't be too hard to convince him to do more photos with me this fall.

:rofl I have EXACTLY the same situation! I was nearly my full hight (5'6") by the time I was 13 and I dont know if its being flat chested or my face or lack of makup or what but I've been "16" ever since then. :lol:

My cousin was I think nearly 20 when her baby sister was born, she is 4'11" and thin and the sister took after the other side and was a huge baby. She would get the most hilarious staring and questions when she was watching her and people were trying to figure out how that could be her baby. :laugh1

Jenks Sun, 05/24/2009 - 20:13

Man VL! That looks dangerous! You were never kiddin' about training dogs!!! LOL Are you removing that dog from the padded man?

I missed RMT before! Gyah. Hawt. And ACC? I thought you were a redhead (coming from a blond that likes to go brunette and/or red occasionally)!

Heather Sun, 05/24/2009 - 20:15

Well I have to say genetic'ly it seems to be the creme of the crop here lol

accphotography Sun, 05/24/2009 - 20:38

I was a redhead, albeit not naturally. I've gone back to my natural color, which is what you see in that photo.

:rofl :rofl :rofl That is to funny!!

My best friend is 5'2" looks about 15 and is two years older then I am where as I am 5'11" . So of course everyone thinks I am the older one. When we were kids we worked a couple conventions together and our name tags had our ages on them. Many a time we seriously considered changing tags. :laugh1

Heidi,
Thanks!! Big blue eyes are a family trait from my dad's side and as to the smile well, let's just say my parents payed for it big time when I was little. Had to have braces and the whole nine yards. :D Glad that's over with. :mrgreen:

Hmmmm. Can you have a widows peak if your husband is still very much alive? :? Or is it related to my occasional urges to strangle him, which would subsequently turn me into a widow? [size=80](just kidding)![/size] :mrgreen:

He looks good in the dress. And he looks good in the kitchen. :twisted: But he might even look better on horseback in a kilt. Braveheart, here we come. 8-)

[quote="Jenks"]Man VL! That looks dangerous! You were never kiddin' about training dogs!!! LOL Are you removing that dog from the padded man?[/quote]

:lol: She has some temporary hearing loss, directly related to the 'out' command. :? ;) So yes, I was lifting her off the decoy. It does not appear dangerous to me. (anymore) I like my dogs extremely highstrung, but my horses docile please. :oops:

@ paintlover. Very nice!! 8-)

lipigirl Mon, 05/25/2009 - 08:57

VL - wow girl you are slim & pretty ! MP cute and you DO look young but I am going to guess at 25 ! PL such a lovely face too - amazing for a self portrait - they are hard to get.

When I was 12 I looked 16 it always got me into trouble, I am 5'8" ! Now I look younger which suits me, they were talking down to me in SCBU last year until I told them how old I was, which incidently was older then some of the Drs and nurses! I started to go grey at 18 so L'oreal has been my friend ever since. :lol: I am actually not too happy now to be closer to 40 then 30 ! :|
