Photos of yourself are not conceited, this is your journal, post what you like. I post of myself all the time.

I like your eye makeup. Very striking.

[starrx008]

Thank you :)

Well I shall post! I just don't want to come off conceited but, haven't got to much of the outside world photographed yet. I am waiting for my professional camera before I start trying to to tell people I'm wicked with the camera LOL.

Nooo, photograph the crap out of yourself. It can be interesting and/or good practice. You could do one of those 365 projects where you take a different self portrait every day even. That is fun.

I take less pictures of myself because I don't have the best camera, no tripod and am not in love with my smile. Also, to be truthful, it might feel a bit conceited. I don't know how some girls do it. Just tell yourself you are doing it because other people demand it, if it helps.

[starrx008]

I would do the 365 day thing but, I would get lazy and forget some... I might try to do the A-Z project since if I forget a day.. I'll be okay :D

I don't have a tripod but I have a lot of shelf type spaces for self timer. I hate my smile.... I rarely show my teeth... Some people do it just to show off their body so it helps when I do it to have a different stance like editing them. I enjoy editing photographs as much as I take them lol :D

[adam_0oo]

What is the A-Z project?

I do enjoy showing off my body, but I think that would take my blog in a different direction than it currently is. I don't know of any men who take that kind of picture and post it, maybe if it was more common I would do it.

I don't know what happened to my smile. I mean, I smile all the time for jokes or when I am happy, but I feel so weird when I see myself, like I am doing too much or smirking or something. And I didn't always feel like this.

I used to edit movies, I loooooved the attention to detail, I wish I knew how to use some Photoshop programs.

[starrx008]

If you showed off your body, I think you would have many trying to hook up with you. Girls go crazy over guys bodies lol. Well some but not everyone... If girls can show off their bodies, I'm all for guys doing that lol. A lot of guys go shirtless on facebook...so I bet plenty do it here lol

Some like my smile but, I hate capturing it with film.... I feel it looks funny...

I wish I could edit movies... or even small clips but, no luck there yet... Working on it though. They seem hard at first but, once you get the use to some of them it becomes easier... You could use Picnik that is a good site with quick editing... all you have to really do is find the style editing you like... These were done on an editing site (http://pixlr.com/o-matic/) I could do it in photoshop... but I was lazy... The second uses some Photoshop though.

http://www.befunky.com/create/#/home <- good site to use also

OOooo, fancy sites, I will check them out.

Do they? It is so weird to me, I used to have self confidence issues, most of which are gone now, but those covered a lot of years when I would post pictures of myself topless online so I could hook up with chicks. Like, I have sent plenty of time in my life trying to do just that, but with either pictures of my face or with witty banter, never straight up by exposing my body. I know people do it, but I have never really considered myself that person. Unless someone asks for it, I love requests! But even then, it can feel odd, dunno. I am always fascinated by people who get by with their bodies first, as it has been so different from my experience.

[starrx008]

Yeah they also put noodz up on facebook now a days to LOL. I don't think noodz would go so well on LJ. I have major self confidence issues but, sometimes I'll be like I look good today.

I attract guys with wearing shorts that look like boys... and really lame shirts... I wonder what they would do if I dressed in short skirts and like barely having a shirt on (: lol. I find it hard were skirts but, some times I do.

[adam_0oo]

I thought nudes get deleted by facebook? I have had some modelish friends whose accounts got deleted because of it.

LJ is covered in nudes, I see them all the time, they don't have as stringent censorship policy as FB. Also, they have a fraction of their users, but what can you do.

I am sure your boys would love you wearing less. But if you are doing alright as you are, no need for a big change.

I did a big fashion change a few years back when I wanted to get rid of my super baggy high school clothes. My gf at the time and mom and sister helped out and watching What Not To Wear and working in retail all helped make me more fashionable.

[starrx008]

I thought so to but, lately all I have been seeing are nudes... and not just the soft core barely seeing the stuff but... like porn poses.. :/. I haven't seen much of modeling pictures but, people who think fb is a porn site... I guess it depends on whos on your friends list to see that type of thing. FB also had a sneaky hat trend to... young girls cover only parts of them with just a hat....

I haven't seen the lj nudes yet so I should be happy I haven't lol.

Yeah, but some of the dudes I attract are plain creepy... I rather double over with covering my whole body lol but, I am fine with how I dress now lol.

I have some fashionable clothes but, I think I rather have comfort then please them. I do wear a range of clothes sometimes though... I have a different fashion then most of my friends. :)

[adam_0oo]

Well facebook is only friends and family and bands yes? So your friends are posting nude shots of themselves on facebook?

So far as I have seen, you dress quite well. It is good to have the knowledge and closet to change your style if you want. I can go from formal to casual to going out and so on. Usually it is a mix.

Double over so nobody can see you? You could just do head shots.

[starrx008]

No thank gosh! :) but, facebook now shows when people like things....so I have a friend on my list (I probably should delete) who attacks the like button on nude pictures.

Thank you :). That is like me but, boys don't have much of fashion to follow like girls... Us girls are competive with our outfits. :D

I meant for like walking outside with like a full body suit. https://radshield.com/products_showmedia.asp?fName=Picture&ProductID=985 Maybe that would repel more creeps away from me. I have no problem with my pictures I don't think.... no one has been to crazy about them or enough to tell me they stare at them 24/7 lol. I could use some head shots though :D

[adam_0oo]

Oh, you can delete your friends or you can also hide them, so you don't have to see anything and they won't think you hate them by defriending them.

Fashion to follow?

Well, an attractive lady like yourself, the only help is one of the hazmat suits or a burkha.

[starrx008]

It was a random add so I don't think they will know it was me who deleted them lol.

Yeah, Teen vogue, seventeen all those magazines and the temptations of fashion to follow lol.

Yeah :D which would be weird for me to try and wear :)

[adam_0oo]

Yeah, but if you wear it, you could be wearing who knows what underneath!
