I see what you're saying, but isn't the reason that she's judging herself based on the fact that other people might see that photo of her? Or see her looking the way she thinks she looks in that photo and judging her?

At least that's the way I've reacted to bad photos of me before: "holyshit. Someone is gonna think I look like that. Or maybe I do look like that. I am so fat, ugly, terrible, ugh. I need to change to look better."

Etc.

Oh, Emily. My life has actually been SO much better since I made a conscious decision to just shrug off bad photos.

1) You never look as bad in a bad photo as YOU think you do, because we are all hardest on ourselves.

2) Having only photos out there that you curated of yourself looking perfect only reinforces the belief that we should always look a certain, beautiful, flawless way no matter what we are doing.

3) It's a bad photo. EVERYONE has them. It's just ... a photo. It's not you. It's not your personality. Or your brains. Or your beauty, even. That is all reflected in what you put out into the world, and not in one image of you captured on film.

I used to vigilantly check my Facebook and Flickr pages and un-tag myself from the photos that I thought were terrible, and then I just ... stopped. I stopped putting so much energy into it. Because in the grand scheme of things, it's no big deal. AT ALL. I feel so much better just not worrying about it anymore!

And as for the people that do judge you based on those photos, those people? They are assholes. They are NOT your friends, and they don't know you. And they don't love you.

Re: My Hair Is The Longest It's Ever Been And All I Want To Do Is Chop It Off

posiegirl — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:17:25 -0000

GIRRRRRL. I am in the exact same place as you. Every time I try to grow my hair out to reach my dream Zooey long hair/bangs scenario, I get fed up and chop it! And this time, it's the longest I've let it get, so I almost feel like I shouldn't give up -- but wearing my hair up in pigtails and ponytails every damn day is not helping my gut instinct to chop it into a short bob and FREE MY NECK.

(I should probably mention that it's uncharacteristically hot in Seattle right now, which is influencing my short hair is good mentality)

I think if you're paying someone to do a service for you, they should do everything they can to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and taken care of. I never understand why it seems like so many hair and skin pros act all snotty and condescending about the follicles and skin you present to them -- as if it belongs to them, and you're an idiot who doesn't know how to take care of it.

I've experienced the hair shaming thing a few times, and each time was my last visit to those particular stylists. But I am so SCARRED from the facial I got that I can't even bring myself to make another appointment anywhere. The lady basically told me I was ruining my skin by not washing it with the proper temperature water, and I cried all the way through the extractions she was doing because they physically pained me. Never again. Can't do it. The WORST.

I am so so so SO sorry this happened to you, and so disappointed that every single person you came in contact with treated you with so little respect. It's disheartening that there are still people like that in the world, no matter what company they work for.

As a PT nanny, I experienced my first diaper blow out a few weeks ago. FUN! And it was just me. Oh boy.

And now that the little one I'm watching is mobile, changing a diaper is 100x harder, as he insists on flipping over on his stomach mid-change. I am praying for NO MORE blowouts. Gahhh.

Re: Do All Guys Cheat?

posiegirl — Tue, 28 May 2013 19:44:22 -0000

Isn't saying something like "ALL men cheat" as bad as saying "ALL women are crazy"??? I think so. I've been in many relationships. Some men have cheated; some haven't.

I think when people cheat, it's a sign something else is wrong. Either the person (please note: man OR woman) is a complete non-respectful dumb-ass who will never, and likely has never, treated another human being with respect - read: they cannot change; or - the relationship has been in trouble for a long time and rather than resolve it, the cheater chooses to avoid conflict by sexing up someone else instead. Or they have an addiction. Or they're lost and don't know who they are anymore. Or, or, OR. There are so many reasons for it, I don't think you can really pin down exactly why it happens.

Do I believe that there are male non-cheaters out there? YES. I think it's stupid and defeatist to assume that all members of the male sex MUST and WILL cheat.

NICE.

I'm a BIG fan of glittery eyeshadow that ends up glitteratti'ing your face all over; even though I have been told more than once that's it not "age appropriate". SCREW YOU, JUDGMENTAL PEOPLE. You can pry my Urban Decay palette from my cold, dead hands.

Re: "Fake Geek Girls" Revisited: Dudes, Please Stop Trying To Compete With The Girl In The Comic Shop For Nerd Cred

posiegirl — Mon, 06 May 2013 18:25:15 -0000

OHHELLYES. I worked at a comic book store in the 90s and was "schooled" so many times by the customers about what I should be reading, quizzed about what I was reading, and just general disbelief that I actually liked anything in the shop, let alone, like, read the comics.

The shop I worked also had a HUGE bootleg VHS collection, so I would regularly get shit for not knowing anything about Jackie Chan and Dario Argento & Giallo horror. even though I TOTALLY DID. Jerks.
