Me x
Tara Lara’s Gallery theme today is Me. I really struggled to find an image that I was comfortable with as a representation of myself. Like many of us I’m not altogether ‘ok’ with pictures of me. Call it vanity call it insecurity call it what you want, but there are so many ‘me’s’, and a photo chosen by me that I see as ‘ok’ to put out there would be just a sanitized slither of who I am.
So I thought for a bit, and then a bit more, and then I came up with the above. It’s not the best pic, in fact I tweaked it a little at picnik.com as I ended up taking it in my kitchen, in too bright light trying to dodge my own shadow. But this is me. Smarties.
Now if you want to see over 80 other bloggers revealing themselves, visit The Gallery at Sticky Fingers. I’m looking forward to meeting you all.

I think they have your nose ;0) But from what I know of you, I think it is a perfect representation!

All of those things are definitely you. And you are the solitary green Smartie that stands out from the crowd x

Oh, I love this! Lovely photo and brilliant approach to the topic.

Hehe.
& anyone that dislikes Smarties is a weirdo, obv.

I love Smarties. Rare to find over here though and when I do they cost a fortune!

Why are the purple smarties so rare? That is my question.
Lovely post x

You are beautiful x

Love it. Colourful, sweet, gorgeous, bit fuzzy
and everyone loves you. xx

Jo, how could you be “disliked”?
I wish you were my next door neighbour. I would be drinking tea round at yours all the time while the girls played together.

Smarties are just lovely in a very English sort of way. As are you. x

Genius! I really love this and from what I’ve read here totally true, although I can’t see how you, or the smarties, could be disliked – obviously there are some weird people out there.

I love chocolate so I definitely know I’d like you a lot too….
Love your words, and just from the little picture of you on the right I can believe that most of those words represent you! :0)

That’s so much fun. I love how everyone has chosen different ways to show a photo of themselves, even without an actual head shot. Love the individual words at the top.

I love your interpretation of the theme! Great post. Smarties make fab pictures!

Anything that says chocolate is a good representation in my book…I think its a great picture choice..better than mine…erm dirty wellies..interpret as you will! Anything but actually ‘me’
