ike1 · 08/04/2013 13:23

By christ I look nutty as a fruit in some!

KinNora · 08/04/2013 13:24

Apparently if you're using the light reflective concealer, you can get flashback on photos, making things look worse

KinNora · 08/04/2013 13:25

But you are nutty as a fruit cake ...

Bant · 08/04/2013 13:29

Ike. I would but I'm about to board a 7hr flight, sorry. If it can wait till tonight/tomorrow then I'll help. PM me if you want

ike1 · 08/04/2013 13:35

ok I am in no rush to reveal my true loveliness..dont want to put you off your lunch..

ike1 · 08/04/2013 13:36

That is what is happening here kin...have to use flash live in a very dark cottage and I dont like what daylight does..

KinNora · 08/04/2013 13:45

Can you wander around the cottage taking photos in different rooms, seeing what light's best ? Or, rest a big mirror next to the window and take your photo in reflected daylight ?

ike1 · 08/04/2013 13:55

Yes thats kinda what I am doing ...but it just goes to show how much prep and light professional photos must have...

ike1 · 08/04/2013 13:56

Taking photos of my feet isnt helping either must be said..

KinNora · 08/04/2013 14:02

Take enough and you'll find some that you like.

Try doing a 'take me up the allotment, Herby' face and see if that looks alluring.

Bant · 08/04/2013 14:02

Up the what?

JulietteMontague · 08/04/2013 14:13

Ike I'll take a look if you would like to pm me. I'm very familiar with the issue, I prefer 'difficult to capture' rather than 'not photogenic' Grin

ike1 · 08/04/2013 14:14

Oh god no..ha a roll in the cabbages not what is needed here at the mo ..trying for sultry

JulietteMontague · 08/04/2013 14:17

Ike I don't know, a strategically placed cabbage or two could work Grin

ike1 · 08/04/2013 14:20

Ill 'do' Jules Bant and Kin then ..may take a few days to find the right ones though so bear with...

KinNora · 08/04/2013 14:30

Yeah, I'm going to draw the line at perusing Calendar Girls style photos of fellow posters though

MirandaWest · 08/04/2013 14:48

In more boring news the dishwasher spontaneously started working again Shock

smoothieooo · 08/04/2013 14:55

Hello all - been lurking for ages but it's hard to keep up!

Sorry to OWW and Ike that the dates weren't 'go-ers'. Like everyone else, I had fingers crossed.

My STB-Ex dropped DSs off yesterday lunchtime... then showed me a picture of his 23 year old girlfriend (I'm 46 next week, he's 38). Any other time and it might have floored me but what he didn't know was that I'd spent the previous night having copious amounts of very hot sex with a very lovely man and just handed the photo back with a smile and a 'you've done alright for yourself' type of comment. Grin Grin

KinNora · 08/04/2013 15:23

Excellent - go Smoothie and in your face, ex-Mr Smoothie.

smoothieooo · 08/04/2013 15:40

Cheers Kin. It couldn't have happened at a more opportune moment! Not that I let on anything at all to ex (although he did clock the flowers I'd been presented with the previous evening)...

Miranda that's not boring about the dishwasher - I'd be distraught if mine packed up!

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 15:52

Excellent Smoothie - have a Envy

KinNora · 08/04/2013 15:55

It's wonderful when that kind of thing happens, timed to perfection, especially when your ex is going out of his way to show off and you don't have to say anything at all, just letting your disinterest and the bouquet do all the talking.

KinNora · 08/04/2013 15:55

You give hope to 46 year olds everywhere

smoothieooo · 08/04/2013 16:00

Ah stoppit... Blush

I'm just about to get up and twirl my way into the works kitchen for a cuppa.
