Oh My Lovely Navel

...you are the center of the universe, the source of all my being, a reflective pool for tiny minds, repository of pink lint, and a wrinkled smile when I try to look inside you.

I'm so vain...

...you probably think this blog is about me, don't you, don't you....

I hate the other blog picture. And yes, this is hard, I would suck at being under thirty anymore, since "them kids" so readily post photo i.d.s on myspace and all. Speaking of i.d.s, I thought "Mrs. Id." should have pursed lips, so I went searching for a photo of me doing so. I found one that's close and gave it a treatment. But now I can't decide again. Help me pick:

dewy ingenue

naughty flirt

naughty flirt closeup

comic heroine

It's my eternal struggle. I don't ever want to choose just one, I like 'em all. This would have to look good both in this blog, my other one, Wandering Pie, and comment postings to other blogs like Dave's. I sometimes say clever things, I sometimes say insightful things, I sometimes say goofy things, so I don't want to look too evil and I'm sure I'm totally overthinking this. I've been reading a book called "the shy writer" and realize what an odd combination of incredibly confident and totally insecure I am. Guess that's being an artist. Thanks for your help in the p.r. department.

But isn't Photoshop fun?

I like the black and white vision. It shows you're shroudded in artistic mystery. It's also a little art noveau and reflects the drama paradigm in the post-parental vernacular, crossing over into the modern landscape of interactive humanistic and steroidal contemplation (recessing from the anecdotal symbiosis).

Fwiw, I like the first pic best.

Soft focus helps preserve the image of elusive youth gone by - vaseline on the lens for Cybill Shepard (until she started a second career portraying that harpie Martha Stewart) - but I digress (as I have mentioned several times previously)
