and my husband says I'm not funny.

ah the path to self-acceptance.

filling my life with love, art, adventure and good people. hoping. one day. I will look in the mirror and not see the imperfections of my body, only the reflection of my soul. glowing as it expands in wisdom. one day. I will love myself. fully. unconditionally.

Look at you! Even with the curlers and doo-dads in your hair you're still gorgeous!

Wow - that is a pretty fancy set of curlers they set you up in there in gay Pear-ee!! You look amazing! Just heard your twins voices...it was really adorable to watch my kids scramble up from the basement to find out what I was doing after they heard it. They made me play it three times to figure out what they were saying. I told them that they were speaking another language...they seemed to accept that.

You are such a doll. And I know it took a lot of nerve for you to post that picture. Which, by the way, was very funny. AND, you are gorgeous, even in curlers, my friend!!

At first I thought you were wearing a fancy and elaborate headdress. :)

You wear those curlers well, my dear! Your skin is perfection, what is your secret? I look like a teenager these days. My complexion SUCKS.

Powerful message. Maybe someday I too will love myself unconditionally , adult acne and all. :)

what kind of perm is that?
you know, this reminds me of Queen Amidala in her full head gear in the Star Wars episodes 1-3... only without the white make-up and weird lipstick color. =) very cool.
