Cordelia ,'You're Welcome'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's a reason that 5 posed photos where people are smiling and looking at the camera are better than 135 random candids where people are looking elsewhere, eating, and (for those of you who saw it on Facebook) making a pig nose at the camera.
Ugh, candid photos. Nothing will trigger my Body Image Demons faster than seeing candid photos of myself.

They were a good reminder that my posture sucks, especially when I am seated. I needed that, seriously.
Also, they were good proof that I don't want to wear my hair up for the wedding unless it's 100 degrees, because -- candid photos. Hair up + double chin + side view = OH HELL NO.
I am sheltering in place in Owings Mills. Or, you know, staying at work until the time I normally leave.
DON"T GET BLOWN TO OZ, LISAH!
Be safe, you guys!!
I'm with everyone on the photo thing. Heck, even getting a side-eye glimpse in the mirror sometimes startles me on how different I look at different angles, as opposed to straight-on. I'm horrified people see me at all angles, because I feel like I look much worse from the side...but then I try to remind myself that I don't feel that way about anybody I know ("OMG, he's so hot when you look right at him but the side view is AWFUL!"). And when I saw my college roommate last month, she was hating on her nose, and i was like "Seriously? I wouldn't ever have thought of that, your nose is fine!" and she was like "No, I always wanted your nose!" So, people are weird.
(Also, Maria you are lookin' DARN good in those pics you've been posting, I say keep eating the good food!)

Seconded!
I almost never take a good picture.
meara, those are carefully posed. I specifically turn a bit to the side to get the most flattering perspective. Sometimes I feel like an impostor at this because I still have love handles and belly fat, and my inside thighs are too fat, and my arms--while muscular--are not as toned as I want them to be.
Stay safe, DC/B'more peeps. I'm still at work in Towson, and will be for the duration.
Waiting for a little less torrential downpour to head home myself.
Facilities got on the intercom and told us to stay put & that they'd holler if we needed to get away from the windows.....
