I mean, I suppose it must be.
I look like I've just been arrested for drink driving offences, under the influence, and it's 4am in a downtown NY drunk-tank.
This is going on my ZSL pass for my charges and I to visit the zoo (I'm a nanny) so not ideal.
I applied make up. I brushed my hair. I wore a jaunty shade. I skipped along to Snappy-Fucking-Snaps on Charlotte Steet, London as I thought they'd take a nicer photo than my local one in Acton.
The lady asked me which one I wanted, they were all shite but one didn't make me want to cut my head off, I said that one please, she robbed me of my £17.99 and I said I'd pop back in half an hour.
I SWEAR TO GOD SHE SWITCHED THEM to the worst photo of my face I e ever seen. I look awful, I have never looked so awful, and if that is honestly my face I'm cancelling the extortionate wedding photographer we've selected and having my one year old nephew take the pics, at least he's likely to chop out my head.
I now have to present a picture of me looking like a criminal with addiction problems to my new boss for the ZSL card, and I'll have 7 monstrosities left that will never see the light of any day.
I looked fine in the mirror beforehand. Fine.
My fiancé says I'm like a slightly less Chanel-ed version of Natalie Portman (we've had his eyes tested and they're grand but I know he's slightly biased) so WHAT THE FUCK happened. The image is seared on to my brain forever. And the godforsaken ZSL card.
Anyone else look shite when they thought they looked ok?
DISCLAIMER LIGHTHEARTED I know I'm lucky to have a face etc etc
