It can be pretty easy in this game to start to believe your own press. Clearly I am remarkably good looking ALL the time, never mind the make-up, the good lighting, photo editing and selection of 7’ish images from upwards of 50. I think there’s an upside and downside to that. Sure you become more accepting of your face and body. Anyone would when looking at themselves as often as us fashion types do. But there’s a difference between that and keeping it real.
Or all these compliments and kind words could go to a girl’s head.
So no, my face doesn’t always look like that. And yes my belly pokes out when I show off my guns. Derrr. And most of the time if you met me in person you’d note that I’m almost always pulling ridiculous faces. That’s me. Here’s me about as real as you’re going to get on a fashion’ish blog.
Here, just for you, is a range of faces and silly poses collected from the images that are taken when Hubby demands that I loosen up in front of the camera. Some are taken when I thought we were done or not started yet. The one of Hubby with my necklace on his head, well, he took that one himself. I told you, we’ve created a monster. Let’s roll.
Literally, this face translated is ‘Errr, can you smell that?’. Car parks are gross!
Ummmm, so it’s REALLY sunny.
It’s all about the accessories, right babe?
Did someone say GEEK!? Holler.
What part of I’m tightening up my belt needs to be photographed Hubby?
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how cool I am.
Ooooo, hoodie ties. Fancy!
Grrrrr dancing!
So there you go ladies and gents, a little insight into the fun and games and silly face it takes to keep this blog up and running. Thank you all again for hanging out here with me, not making too much fun of me when I try to be all serious clothes horse and for keeping your sense of humour intact. I love you guys and I love what we’ve created around here. Thanks for visiting always, I’d have nothing with out yooooouuuuu…
Cue Whitney!
NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHIIIIIIING…
Ha. Over and out.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
That “how cool I am” one doesn’t look like an outtake its awesome. Love it!!
Haha. Thanks. 😀
These are brilliant, a nice little bit of fun! 🙂
Thanks Brittany, I think so too!
I love your blooper posts SO much! They always give me a much needed smile!
Thanks Nat! I’m glad to hear it.
Hahaha Love that pic of you tightening your belt! Such a murderous look on your face 😛
Murderous indeed! Haha. Thanks Sheri.
The first and last pics are the best I´ve ever seen on your blog!! They definitely show the fun woman we read on your posts. And your hubby´s pic is hilarious -you created a monster, but a cute one, ha!
Haha. Thaaaaaanks!
A cute monster indeed.
I do love these posts. You’re always endeavouring to show us the real you. You’re the real deal and I love it. X
Thank you Trudie. Always out to expose myself… Wait. That doesn’t sound right? HA.
I love these posts Suger.
It’d be awesome if there was always one ‘crazy/silly/blooper’ pic with every post.
Thanks Pumba. I try to add one less serious or slightly goofy one to each post but I’ll be sure to make sure of it moving forward. They are the best bit, right? Haha.
LOL…love it! These photos make you seem like a fun person (which you no doubt are, but you know what I mean).
Thank you. And I am a fun person, promise. 😉
Love this!!! Your posts always make me giggle when I read them. I love that they show glimpses into your personality 🙂
Thank you! I hope so. I’d hate to think you guys thought I was an expressionless, emotionless clone. HA.
Priceless! My fave it the one with hoodie. You’re all “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Mofo!” lolz.
Non-polished un-staged life moments are my fave too. Never stop sharing the bloopers please 🙂
Haha. True, very true. That’s a much better caption than my one.
You have my word, I never will, no matter how popular and worldwide famous I get… HA.
