A Picture is Worth ...

OK, I need to whine. I do not take a good photo. I realize Mom always says that about herself. And that she deliberately sets out to look like the spawn of an ice queen whenever a camera lens turns her way. But I do not. I try to look cute and thin and not a day over 35. And it doesn't work. It hasn't worked ever, really. I always look kind of goofy, big in the face, and lopsided. Honestly, just once I'd like to see a photo of myself that I actually liked.

Unfortunately, because my Boston editor has left the job and I've been handed her duties along with my own for a few months, I have to have a photo on the Editor's Note page of the Parents' Paper. So I scout around and find one and I look like some just-back-from-the-groomer, swollen-faced Irish setter. But I'm stuck. I need a pic for this Editor's Note page and this one is the most palatable. I don't get it. Just once I'd like to take a decent photo.

I have some Paris news for you. She's working on a new album. Perfect. Jailbird to songbird. Maybe it'll feature some inspirational gospel about changing her ways. I'll let you know, Kimmie, when Paris has to order eye glasses. It'll happen. Mark my words.
