I like the smiling picture, even if it did make me weepy again. It's such a beautiful shot of her.
I have to brag on my two-year-old for a minute: We went out for dim sum this morning, and she tried a whole bunch of new things quite happily, and liked most of them, and was perfectly content to chew on curried chicken dumplings while we waited (and waited) for the cart with the sweet buns to come around. I was really proud of her. I was such a picky eater as a kid -- like, I wouldn't eat spaghetti with sauce for years because I once found a mushroom in my pasta -- and we're really trying to instill in Rose a more relaxed and curious attitude towards new food, so it was nice to feel like that's working. A small victory, but I'll take it.
Had we linked her self-portrait tumblr earlier? [link]
I think Kat's are better for the obituary, because they are against a neutral background, but I liked seeing this one on that tumblr, where she looks happy: [link]
I love the smiling one, too, but I have a deep affection for the one of her with her red lipstick, blowing a kiss. It's ... saucy and her and irreverent. If I were choosing, I would choose that one. It's just so her.
I'm with Aims on the saucy kiss blowing shot.
If not, I like the smiling one Kat suggested.
How is our gorgeous woman not here? I disallow this.
So so gorgeous and unique. Fucking unfair that she is not here.
This one [link] would reproduce well, if Kat can send the original to Allyson. (I'd like a copy too.)
Not for nothing, but I like that shot the best, Ginger. Bless you for all your hard work on this project.
Ginger, I'll upload it to the group. It's from her flickr (and was her Krav headshot from when she became an instructor).
Kat, how are you doing? I keep thinking about you and worrying.
