I'm really pale but I have red splotchy cheeks which makes finding foundation difficult.

In middle school some girls teased me about being so pale, it was hard to deal with but inside I kept telling myself that when we were all old I'd look young and beautiful and they'd look old and leathery. I have no idea what they look like now, but some are probably fake tan addicts.

Plei unleashed a monster in me. A girlie monster.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to interpret that as porn, thanks.

Oh, that's what I need, coffee. Please to make with the neuron flow.

Don't think I ever got teased over the pale, with the exception of (equally pale) former roommate's boyfriend, who used to call our apartment the House of Albino.

Speaking of pale, my mom requested that I get a professional picture taken of myself for her Mother's Day gift. I have some pictures from the photo shoot uploaded to flickr if anyone's interested. [link]

I'm new to working with flickr, so if the link doesn't work, please let me know. Thanks.

Lovely pictures, Calli! And I'm in love with your captions.

It is getting more and more difficult in this world to buy non-padded bras. Argh.

I'm fond of saying that I have a Gothic palor...you know...the recently bled look.

I'm like that see-through anatomy doll. Wanna see my vascular system? Don't have to look too hard...

Jessica, are you an olive pale, or a pinky pale? You always seem olive-y to me, in photos.

I'm pink/blue -- practically transparent.

This is me. The veins in my arms and hands are pretty scary.

Thanks, JZ!

My veins can get pretty fierce looking, depending on what I've been doing lately. I don't have particularly high blood pressure or anything (kind of the reverse), but sometimes I can see certain points pulse.
