you know, this is true of all of us, I think. I can look pretty darn good with a faceful of makeup, but I can't stand all that crud on my face so I look dorky 99.9% of the time instead. I don't really care, though - I'm a programmer, for crying out loud - not a model or someone who depends upon my looks for my job.

Oh, also something interesting - I dated a headshot photographer for a little while before I met my H. I'm super non-photogenic, and I asked him why some people are so photogenic and others aren't (ie., Renee Zelleweger). He said that most people are NOT photogenic and that it takes TONS of pictures in a photography session to come out with a handful that make celebreties look the way they do. Don't know if that's true (or if he's just a lousy photographer!) but it made me feel a little better!!

Thanks Poetrylover! This was interesting!
