Two weeks ago, Brendon and I attended a beautiful wedding in New Orleans. The weather was perfect, the wedding site was stunning... the couple was super in love...the cake station attendant even let me go back for thirds.
You get the gist.
Vain? Yes.
Do I care? No.
You get the gist.
But, by far, the best thing to come out of that weekend was this picture. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you...
The best picture ever taken of me.
I posted it on Facebook as soon as it was taken because, well, I don't take a lot of great pictures. Usually one eye is closed, I have a giant booger, or I determine something about me looks asymmetric.
Anyway, the feedback I got via Facebook was crazy. Like, people wrote such gushing compliments about the photo that I almost felt like I was deceiving my Facebook friends by even posting such a flattering photo. In fact, my former boss emailed me to tell me she felt embarrassed for me receiving such heaping praise.

So, in the spirit of honesty, I took a gander through my Facebook pics and have pulled a general assortment of questionable photos to compensate for my self-absorbed picture post from a couple of weekends ago.
Presenting....THE BEST OF THE WORST OF WHITNEY!
Presenting....THE BEST OF THE WORST OF WHITNEY!
*******************************************
Pictures where I look really, really bitchy but didn't mean to
(....hmmm....sorry there are so many in this category....)
Pictures where I look intoxicated but was stone-cold sober, sadly
(ish....sober-ish....)
Pictures where I should have given more consideration to my attire
Pictures where other people in the photo look WAY better than I do
Confession: Such pictures do not exist on my Facebook page, as I make it a priority to untag them the second someone posts them. Therefore, I have none to share with you today.
Vain? Yes.
Do I care? No.

If you are one of the very few delusional people who will read this entry and think "these aren't so bad" (cough, cough: Kathy Heckathorne), do remember -- these are the photos that are still TAGGED of me on Facebook....we haven't even ventured into, what must be, a terrifying black hole of untagged photos that Facebook programmers are fastidiously trying to forever remove from the cosmos.
Thank you for indulging my narcissism.
Now, if you'll excuse me; I have some untagging to do.
Follow up: Have just received written confirmation from my oh-so-honest friend Erik, sharing that there ARE horrendous pictures of me out there that have been untagged and he is, in fact, in possession of many of them. Woof.
Erik Perez: You are gorgeous and you know it... stop the false ranting! Although I probably have some actual unflattering pictures of you from Boston... I think I remember one party at Greg's with ton of pictures (Shall I re-tag you?)
Please don't, Erik. Hasn't the world been traumatized by this blog entry enough?

Ok, who is tagging these photos of you?? Mean people!
ReplyDeleteClearly you need new friends who take more flattering photos.
I love this post. That IS a stunning photo of you. :)
ReplyDeleteI am HOWLING at home! What a VAST array of settings/memories!!! I could try to rationalize some of these circumstances for you, but the reality is that the more you do and the more you document these events, the more chances you have of capturing an "unflattering" picture. The important thing is that you continue to get out there and make new memories relishing the photo victories that do occur!
ReplyDeletep.s. It's hard to look ravishing in front of a plumbing truck! :-)

ReplyDeleteI feel that 75% of your bitchy photos are times when I was with you. What does that mean??
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! This is too funny. And, I do need to add to the gushing reviews, that first pic of you is fan-tab-ulous. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of you and RM. Sadly, I wanted to untag a few of you and I from mine and Kristopher's Memphis visit, but I love you so much, I didn't. THAT'S friendship.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS (one of the many reasons) why I love you!!
ReplyDeletemy favorite might be the second pic of you in the plaid giving that girl the stink eye! no but for real, your amazing picture really is good!! i'd brag about it too haha :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! And on a completely unrelated topic, I am in love with your veil (from one of the many photos), very similar to what I am looking for! If it's not too personal, do you mind sharing where you got it?
