So, someone delivered what I thought was a really nice compliment the other day: "Those pictures from the other night were great. You are really photogenic!" Awwww, blush blush...."Thanks," I said.
Jump to the following day during a long stare into an unflattering mirror. I do my best (and worst) thinking in the bathroom. And no, you stinky boys, not on the toit-ey....while getting ready. Neanderthals! This particular instance of deep thought was definitely leaning toward the "worst" category....cause here is the ridiculous theory that entered my mind: "I wonder if this person saying I was photogenic means that I'm really not that good looking in real life." WHAT?!?! I immediately wanted to unthink it but....too late...there it was. Poor girl - she didn't even know that when she delivered a heartfelt compliment that it would later be torn apart by my inner insecure fairy. Hmmm...need a different word. Fairies seem like they'd be confident all the time, no?
Anyhoo - there it is folks. Some stupid shit that only a woman would dare to think. I mean, there is not a snowball's chance in Arizona that a similar thought has crossed a dude's mind while contemplating a COMPLIMENT....a COMPLIMENT!!! What is wrong with me/us/women?
Or is it just me?
Nope - cause take a gander at exhibit A: What does photogenic really mean?
and Exhibit B: You are SO photogenic
Hopefully, those are the least educated discussions on the topic. I don't even dare quote some of these people. Just read for yourself and feel utter shame for the human race but know that green really brings out the color in your eyes and you take a really good picture. :)
