Nilly, stop pretending you're Nutty (or possibly, I've edited the last post to make sense).

Edit: Cindy, you're not alone. That dress was hideous! And the pose? Very strange.

I try not to snark on the poses too much, because I am not very photogenic (or think I'm a lot better looking than I actually am), and get caught with weird expressions and in unflattering angles, all the time.

Pictures! Yes, please!

(Cindy, I think you described the dress very well. Also, you look lovely in picture as well as in face-space)

[Edit: I'm not pretending to be Nutty, I'm just spelled similarly. However, in the LotR threads, it doesn't really matter, because we agree more than disagree there. Still very different hair-color, though]

Here you go, Nilly! [link]

Hey Nilly! Did you see my picture of me feeding the giraffes? It was an occasion that really needed to be commemorated with a photo.

If I start doing my laundry, can I reward myself with a slice of vegan apple pie?

Re: Eliza

The pose is really strange, but I like that dress, actually. Although it looks a bit more like something a costume designer would wear than a 'starlet'. But I HATE all the same strapless dresses with 500 different versions of random cut-outs or weird boob things.

Theo-- I am so hapopy I am at work with the T-1 connection so I can see you and the giraffes! I couldn't look this weekend because it ate my dial-up.

Yeah, I definitely have to put together a gallery of smaller images, since I got a lot more of them. I got one-hour processing at the local Tucson Walgreens, and to my surprise (and my friends had reassured me it was so) they were done very well -- and I paid extra to get a CD of the images, which are very high quality, enough that you can see the whorls in the giraffe coat on one of them.

vw, thanks! You look lovely (I like your hair dark), the cake looks yummy, and Emily looks so very beautiful and happy! Complete with silver nail polish and a radiant smile.

Theo, no, I haven't seen it yet (has billytea?). It's awesome! Great picture, and you look great in it, too.

It's amazing, looking at these pictures and actually knowing the people. Of course, I can't help but miss you guys and your very pleasant company when I look at the pictures, but, hey, it's better to have looked-and-missed than to have never looked at all. Or something.

I kind of like Eliza's dress in theory, nsm in practice.

Well, that's a million parts of it. Okay, I also think he's tremendously pretty, but DAMN. He's incandescent musically. I don't think singing is as sexy as some folks do, but so much of his songs are sex, and so well done, that even though he's five foot and hope, wears more makeup than I do, and presses his hair -- oh, in a hot second.

Oh, my, yes.

I just called in to work for no good reason at all, and now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't.

I hate that! Ruins a perfectly good hookey day with guilt!

Nilly!

Thanks for all the pics, guys (especially ita)

Hec, good luck with the CYA documentation. It's tricky to demonstrate that your boss has fucked up while he/she is still your boss. I have every faith you'll work it out though. Just double check every email you send, if you still have a fever. IJS.
