Thea's favorite Photos (of Thea!)

Hi Stana,

Recently I bought a couple of new outfits. So I took up the challenge of the mirror-image selfie, inspired by your post a couple of days ago.

I'm not quite ready to meet the world, but I think these are a pretty good way to evaluate how I look. I choose to see the positive.

On the positive, these are my favorite pictures ever. The black sweater dress does something very nice for me, I think, I love it! Thank you Vera Wang. And it was a clearance bargain at Kohl's, $20. I don't mind saying that the breasts are 100% me.

I don't ignore the negative, much could be improved. But looking at the photos does confirm that I'm feeling more like my natural self.

I don't claim to be a good fashion photographer, but I do have a little tip about using flash with mirrors. You need a ceiling and/or corner from which to get good diffused bounce light. And you have to get the angles right so the bounce does not come straight off of the mirror. I didn't do that great, but these were the best of about three dozen tries.
