Feeling Picturesque

This is the second photo I've emailed to myself from the Pixi Plus smartphone. I like it mostly because it hides the redness on my face. Also my hair looks good. Also, I don't look thirty-two. I really just posted it to showcase the glasses, which I'd bought months ago but kept as backup. They're too pretty to use as backup. They're children's frames, named Pony in the color Cafe. I love them.
I'd uploaded a different but similar picture on Facebook, and while it showed the glasses well, it also showed how red and scarred my face was. Intellectually and rationally, I understood that I looked fine and youthful and pretty, but all I could see in the photo was ruddiness and fading blemishes. Concealer is one of my best friends in cosmetics. Ah, the joy of emotional body image issues. Even my therapist says I look fine.

I completely relate to the skin issues. I used to refer to my skin as "rotting" which made a psychologist think I was psychotic. My long-term psychologist said that I have the best skin she's ever seen, but I don't feel that way. I love foundation.

And I like your glasses:-) I'm pretty small, too, but I just wear adult glasses. Maybe my head is wider.
