I swear i will never take a glamour shot (whatever that is) or any other inappropriote shot for my author photo.
(i REALLY want that t-shirt!!)
I’m already getting a copy of Strangers, but i want Holiday Seduction too…. hmm must go find a horrible photo of me!
Oh my Jeezits! Some of those early shots of Megan especially are practicallly unrecognizable! I mean, in that one early Lauren shot I could at least tell it’s her but Megan, oy vey!
I loved the opening to the post. Very funny.
I’m so very lucky that I was too wee when Glamour Shots first started and I still haven’t done them, thank God.
I think the pic of myself that I use for promo’s and stuff is okay but I do hereby vow to never EVER wear a feather boa or any Glamour Shot derivation thereof as a promo picture!
I won’t ever use a glamour shot, I swear. But I am using the headshots I had to get done for my non-fiction book. If anything, I look a tad more formal than I typically do but I don’t think they suck, lol
I promise to both of you that I will never take a glamour shot and wear a feather boa for my author shot. I pull up “danehart discuss” everyday to hear any new postings. You both are very informative and refreshing to us aspiring authors. Have I sucked up enough to win the t-shirt yet?
Ok, after days of debating here it is. My friends and i were doing a film when i was in college/starting university. This is me as The Dark Lord(ess) Miss Snugglebunny (no, really, i’m not joking.)
A random professional photographer wondered past while we were filming and took these shots. (again, wish i was kidding)
Also, I promise to never have a glamour shot taken. I hate having my picture taken (and after seeing this you will understand) and I could not imagine paying the price for glamour shots.
I promise to never wear a feather boa and/or chandelier earrings if ever I have a glamor shot taken. I hate getting my picture taken. And in fact the only time in my life I almost got in a physical fight was when I told everyone I didn’t want my picture taken and this little jackass came and took my picture.
Glamor shots are a source of amusement for me – a number of my friends have gone to Asia and had them done. One looks *gorgeous* – and had one made into a wall scroll- and everyone who saw it thought she was some pop star. (She was also in high school.) There was a nice background, dress, everything.
As for pictures, since I hate having mine taken, this is a bit difficult.
Hopefully this goes through – it seems to be a common theme (which is funny because I RARELY drink) – but here’s me… double fisting it: http://photos-b.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v105/216/45/12403688/n12403688_39254009_5436.jpg
[and actually whenever this happens ALWAYS one of the drinks is water - but that's so deceptive.]
And another stupid photo- we were bored – I guess the saving grace is my Senate badge isn’t showing: http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v123/216/45/12403688/n12403688_38486906_8483.jpg
Ok – so I’ll admit I’m having trouble finding “stupid photos” b/c I… pretty much destroy them as them come along. I tend to avoid photos (I’ll probably climb under a table even to do so). But… here we go – this is back in college and before… though I … don’t think any of the pics are more than 10 years old >.< Gah. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/aliquis/laugh.jpg?t=1227677840

by AJ November 24th, 2008 at 10:46 amand a close up of my costume. I think this would make an AWESOME author photo to be fair. Other than the fact you can see my bra. (also, it was -2 degrees ish that day. i FROZE to death…)
@AJ: YOU ARE SO BRAVE! LOL! *claps*
I do like your costume — that hat!!! WHEEEEE!

by Danielle A. November 25th, 2008 at 11:06 pmHi! I didn’t know about the blog here, cool!
by Caffey November 25th, 2008 at 11:41 pmWas there anything I was to hear on the video since I’m deaf? What were you saying
I promise that I never have nor ever will use Glamour Shots. I always found that place pretty scary.
Now for the picture. please keep in mind that any picture taken of me is the point of view from either a 2 year old or 6 year old.

I am so challenged when it comes to things like this…but hopefully this will link up…and what was I thinking when I let this photo be taken?

In fact – proof of my hating photos… I’m channeling the exorcist scene to avoid having my pic taken.

Also most my stupid pics are from hs and I don’t have a scanner.

- and yes, the last one, ultimate stupid – I did get on a stage and dance. With “costumes” and it was choreographed, and you probably couldn’t pay me enough now to ever do it again.

@Diane M.: True, Diane!
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:46 am@aliquis: LOL!!! I love the pouty face one!
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:47 am@aliquis: See, I’m the opposite. I LOVE having my picture taken. I don’t always love how I look, and many times I look like a bung!
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:49 am@Lori T: That’s not a bad picture at all! Not a feather in sight.
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:50 am@Brandy W: LOL! I have some pictures just like that. But no, that probably wouldn’t work as a professional headshot.
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:50 am@Danielle A.: Heeee! I deleted your other comments, Danielle, they all came through at once.
Love the karate shot!
by Megan November 26th, 2008 at 9:54 amMegan and Lauren….
I think your promo photos are always great!
I can solemnly swear…pinky swear…that I will never do a photo at Glamour Shots or anything similar!
No pictures to post.
