We put it together first thing in the morning; I didn't let them trowel on the makeup this time, nor did I let them touch up my white hair or freckles. I did a French twist with my hair at first, but that always makes me look like the Abominable Schoolmarm, so I shook it loose.
I was glad we went totally au naturale. Well, with clothes on, but it's 100% true to life. And here it is.
So what do you think? Should I have worn my hair up? Does the tea mug and the ancient Publishing Scroll 'o Wisdom make it look too busy? Or should I have been a little more daring, maybe clipped on an eye patch and a parrot on my forearm (hey, I did go to high school with Johnny Depp...)

Lovely, but I think you need lacy socks with the cute granny boots.
Where do you find this stuff! Too funny...
Just lovely. My monitor coloring makes it look as though you have merlot in your mug. Which is shocking for an a.m. beverage, but ivory tower life has its bennies.
Well, there's a toy I have to go play with! I love the coffee cup of wisdom, forget the scroll.
Wow! It's not often an author looks in their picture the way I imagined they would. But you do. Wearing your hair down was definitely the way to go. But I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't wear pink.
So did you take this photo on a recent trip to China or are you the sort of eccentric writer lady who builds a pagoda in her backyard?
That was hilarious!
What a crack up you are.
You slay me. Thanks. =o)
You're a mess!
Too Funny! But I'm with Darlene. I thought sure you'd wear pink for this shoot.
Too Cute! And thanks for answering my question last Friday.

LOL You look ready for an audition on Southpark.
Very Nice... it captured you perfectly.
You totally suckered me into this one! LOL Personally, I think the royal blue outfit beautifully sets off your white hair.
Just as I imagined you. Your photographer is a genius. I especially liked the scroll.
Your not old enough to have grey hair.
Look at that smooth skin, not a wrinkle on you. How do you do it?
I didn't know you are a Jedi. Does your lightsabre match your robe?
Hey, I like your photographer's style. If I keep getting nagged about having a bio pic, I might use the guy.
You are too funny, and awful tease, but a little stiff in front the camera. ;)
This explains a lot.
I saw that thing before. It's fun :D
Love it. I actually have a couple of these I've done for my different online identities. Much better than real photos.
