I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Toddson, it probably is, I'm just done with feeling lousy. It's also damp and cold today, so possibly mold allergies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have giant drag queen fake eyelashes. And a LOT of makeup! It was fun, though, you know, I'm a dork and felt self-conscious about posing and then I worried about my buddha belly and 10 chins and general fat face. Because I'm me. But I'm overall glad I did it.

I won't have photos for 3-4 weeks, so here are 2 selfie sneak previews: Schoolteacher and Homemaker. (Seriously, the homemaker hair looks way better than it does in the fluorescent light of the selfie.)

The homemaker one could double as nice, sexy librarian ... it's the glasses.

Those are my Felicity Smoak glasses. But I think I left them on for the shoot. For the schoolteacher outfit, I wore black cat's-eye glasses (which had no lenses, which was fine, because these drag queen eyelashes hit my real glasses).

I always had the problem that in photographs my eyeglasses would reflect ... so I'd have these blinding white areas where the lenses were. And without glasses? I looked as unseeing as I was.

Me, too! But since this is a photo studio, they have all the proper lighting that means they don't need to use the flash much, and when they did use the flash, it bounced up instead of at me. WAY better than being blinded by a camera flash!

How could they have been *living* in a home with visible evidence of rat infestation, and not acted before now? Humans, I swear.

A visible rat infestation doesn't just happen one day.

This and THIS! The owner took photos of just one closet where _everything_ was shredded for a nest. Plus, there is a cozy wood pile in the LIVING ROOM!

Stupid humans, indeed.

I sent the wording for the right text to the owner about 4 hours ago. NOW the owner is saying her internet has been down all day, so she didn't send it...also, shouldn't we plead with the clients that we 'just don't have the resources to deal with this.'

Honestly, have you learned NOTHING from me in the last 3.5 years?

I throw my hands up in the air. I throw my hands up in despair!

Steph, the school teacher? HUBBA! So nice. Wholesome even.
