Hi, my name is Leslie and I have a problem.
Hi, Leslie.
Recently, I was looking through my pictures because I needed a headshot that showed I was a responsible, honest, friendly, easy-to-work-with adult and I discovered something alarming. That picture doesn’t exist. I looked through every photo on my computer. I even went to my facebook page and looked through every picture I’ve been tagged in since 2008 (any earlier than that and I look like a teenager)…nothing. If I do happen to look like a responsible, honest, friendly, easy-to-work-with adult then I’m definitely not the only RHFEtWWA in the shot. I’m gonna have to crop people out. While that is, at most, a minor inconveniece, the more troubling issue here is that when a camera is pointed in my general direction, I almost always make this face:

Clearly there’s something wrong with me.
OH! And if it’s not one of the above faces, then I’m dressed like this:Â
Or this:
Or this:Â
Apparently, there’s no hope of me having a professional headshot that makes me look anything like a goober or a soap opera actress (because my current headshot is amazing [thanks Melissa Ragan Photography!] even though I’m making this face):
Hahaha. Hilarious. You crack me up.
