I looked in the mirror yesterday when I got back from the gym, hair straggled, no makeup. Later I logged on to the boards..and I realised my pic doesn't look like me very often...it reminded me of those "stars without their makeup" features! Think the "Cameron's problem skin" or "XX looks tired" features.

So this is the REAL me....Everyday I wear my glasses to work (lenses are for special occasions) I am also quite lazy with my makeup for work but pull out all the stops if I know I have to leave the office for a meeting or court etc, and in my life outside work. Most often I am wearing either a work pantsuit during the day, or sweats in the evening...Not really like the pic...this is the real Sinead!

I did until I got my hair cut and colored!

Actually though, I'm usually found wearing my hair in a pony and no makeup, or if there is makeup, it's just blush, powder and mascara... sometimes I'll dab a little eye shadow on, but that's if I'm either feeling really good, or I look like death warmed over me and I need to go grocery shopping or something.

The problem is that when I'm in front of a camera, I know how to pose and angle myself. In real life, I'm a complete and utter dork. LOL!

Behold:



That's my dad and I, from when he was visiting. Note the glasses, chaotic hair, lack of makeup, and clothes that don't fit. That's me!

No, I don't.

I need to take a new one. I've lost some weight, my hair's longer and I think I look happier and more alive now (thanks to my AD).

My old pic reminds me of when I first joined this site and felt totally awful. I need a new picture to reflect how much better I feel now!

I don' like my pic that much. It's cute I guess, but not glamour or anything...no make-up except chapstick or lip balm, my hair IS blown straight tho...my hubby (we were dating then) had a digital camera from the office and he took some pics of me. I wasn't prepared at all.

It was the only pic I had of me to put on the web when HEather asked me to be a moderator.

I wear glasses (wasn't in the pic) and I don't have contacts since we got married...but I used to wear them often and I was in the pic I think. I'm not big on make up but I try to put some on for hubby before he comes home at night so he knows how special he is to me

I guess that pic is really me. In fact, at tht point all my highlights had grown out and all. I'd have to say what you see is what you get

I am gonna have to try to put a made-up pic up...

P.S. Sinead, I bet you look even prettier without make-up! Not like the stars...you're not THAT MADE UP in the pic...turest me on this one!

P.P.S. I think glasses are beautiful...if I post another pic of me, maybe I'll show ya my glasses! I love em'

Yep pretty much. Mine was just taken in June so my hair may be a tad shorter now. I'm not real big on change. So I keep a hair style for a couple years then go a little longer or shorter. I have a lot of hair (obviously) so having it too long just makes my face look thinner and just yucky. I must maintain my color every 6 weeks since I started getting grey at a very young age. Inherited that from my mom! Thanks mom!
Have to agree with Barbie though, Lisa does not walk out of the house without makeup or a shower ! Of course to go get the paper in the driveway that's fine but to be seen in a store...NO WAY!
And Casey....I too have that problem with clothes looking too big on me. I hate it You look just fine. Far from a dork girlfriend!!!

That's a funny question! Sometimes people change their pics and it's like - holy cow that's a different person!
My pic was taken on the plane to Mexico for our honeymoon!! So it's a little bit old. But I haven't changed much. Can't lose my long hair....it's a little darker now with chunky highlights.
I get people telling me I look like Christina Applegate. I freaking tall Christina Applegate I guess - lol.
In college some guys called me Gwen because my hair was VERY blond and they said I looked like Gwen Stefani. I stopped wearing red lipstick after that. Haha.

Basically, yes. My hair is a little longer now, but the pic is a pretty good representation of how I really look--that is, when I have to go to work every day!

We took new school pics a few weeks ago, so as soon as they give me mine, I'll change my pic!

My pic was taken over 3 years ago. My hair has grown out shoulder length, and gotten all grey, so I highlighted it, and now I look like a hot babe.

But when I smile, yeah, I think that's me in the pic. My eyes look a little funny in the pic, though, kinda squinty. Think maybe I need more mascara, and Barbie thinks I need hazel eyeshadow to match my eyes, so I guess I do that too.... And now that I have my eyebrows tinted to match my hair highlighting, and they're waxed, and .....

Hey, come to think of it, I don't look like me at all anymore. Yaay.

You are a little cutie-pie, Girlfriend, and don't ever think otherwise! I LOVE the no-makeup, natural look, with that cute little haircut. And, BTW, your daddy looks SUPER.

my pic is exactly me on a daily basis. actually.. it might even be a kinda bad picture considering it was taken after a day on the pumpkin patch with the goddaughter and two lil cousins. But thats a normal me pic.. same hair.. except today I got honey/caramel highlights to look more wintery.. but other than that its me to a T. I should probably find a galmorous pic to put on here. hehe.

I think I look alot like mine, except from the glare of my glasses it is hard to see my eyes which I beleive hold alot of my facial expression, so it is hard to get what I look like with out seeing them.

I think I look skinnier than I am, but that is also hard to tell cause I always think I look bigger than I do, I know, I know , I am working on it... (I actaully think Ilook too skinny in that pic)

Also, my hair looks shorter than it is, cause my stylist layers it short in the front, it reaches almost halfway down my back, really, and I have red highlights and brownish lowlights and blonde highlights. It is also always done and messy, like in the pic! I am sooo bad at syling my hair.
And I am a low maintenance gal, casual clothes that are always a little too big (usual pants are, can never find the right size!), mascara and coverup for the occasional pimple is all the makeup my face ever gets!

Casey- I can't see that pic since I am on my slow *ss dialup right now, but I can see it blurry and you look cute.

And don't you know that dorks are 'in' now?
I am a dork and LOVE it
Nothing wins over hearts better than a cute dork.

finally I got my pic up!!!
this photo was taken by me one late late night when I was just getting to know my husband almost two years ago. we met on a travel website and a few weeks later this is one of the photos I took to send him to show what I normally look like (ie no posh photos from weddings etc). I still look the same!!
I love it because it reminds me of such an exciting time (life is still exciting...but my ibs is so much worse now, I was pretty stable back then)...I was about to start a round the world trip with a man who turned out to be my husband....good times!!
I hardly ever wear make up....if I do, its just a bit of mascara or liner...I am a very natural lady!!
this is such a great post! thank you!

Not much! That was taken a couple of years ago pre-IBS and pre-Fibro! I was so fit then - I've put on about 26 pounds since! And my hair is usually shorter (atm, it's a disaster as I haven't had it cut since my wedding! ). My hubby loves that photo - that was the girl he first fell in love with!

And yep, I'm a glasses and no make-up girl usually too! I love make-up, but I'm far too lazy to wear it everyday. I can't even find my lip balm atm! I should post a wedding pic - me at my best!

Upload the puc somewhere (I use www.photobucket.com) That will give you a URL then click on the image link under the Instant UBB box and just paste the URL. That's to insert to a message.

Casey is the best when it comes to resizing from big pics for your profile pic. email her. Alternatively you can follow this LINK

Looking forward to seeing them!

Well, I didn't necessarily mean "dork" in a bad way... just that I'm definitely not as glam as my userpic. I love makeup and whatnot, but it's waaaaay more trouble than I want to go through on a daily basis. I'm one of those people who has no problems throwing on semi-clean clothes and going grocery shopping unshowered.

Hiya,
What a cool post!
Um, I think I look my picture sometimes... But not always. Like, naturally I have curly hair but I do straighten it pretty often. And I have _terrible_ vision so sometimes I wear glasses but I do wear contacts 90% of the time.
Makeup...? Um.. 60% of the time? Not a lot, normally.. I have only just recently taken to wearing eye-liner quite often.
The best days are when I brush through my hair, so pull most of the curls out but then don't bother to dry it straight so it turns into a big frizzy mess of wavy badness.. much like it is at this very moment!

I can turn on the glam (like I did in my pic) but can equally change into the same sweats every night after work for 2 weeks or get up on Saturday and go to the supermarket without even brushing my hair (I will definitely not leave without brushing my teeth though, that I draw the line at)

Its funny, if I think I might meet someone I make an effort, but for some reason work does not feel like meeting people. I met a friend on the way into work this morning who I haven't seen since his wedding in May (when I looked hot!) and I was immediately embarrassed by my lack of makeup, big raincoat, hair in ponytail and comfy boots, he doesn't know that me anymore!

I guess it means we have some confidence that we can go out looking like that! My mum will not leave the house without lipstick, there are about 6 of them in the car at any one time. (most of them have lost their lids along the way...YUCK!!)

A few months back I would have said "Yes, I look exactly like my pic". But since Fibro has reared it's ugly head, I have an ugly head. LOL! I come to work with my hair still wet from a shower pulled up in a clip on my head, with glasses, and no make-up, and dressed like a bag lady. I will occassionally turn back into the woman in my pic if we have a meeting or a client is going to visit the office. But the effort isn't worth it to me on a regular day. I feel sorry for hubby. He probably wonders where in the h_ll the woman he married disappeared to and who is this bag lady? LOL!

...apathy. LOL! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but even on a bad day, I look better than 75% of the people around here. At least I wear clean clothes and make an effort to do my hair before I leave the house.

The problem I have is that Adam knows EVERYONE, so if we go anywhere together, chances are really good that we're going to bump into someone he knows and I'm going to get introduced. Nine times out of 10, it's when I'm wearing sweats and no makeup. I've just decided not to let it bother me anymore. If anyone's going to think less of me for looking like a slob, they might as well do it right from the start, rather than being disappointed when I don't live up to a pretty first impression. LOL!!

That's pretty nasty about your mom's lipstick. My mom is the same way, but she keeps hers in her purse, and as far as I know, they all have caps, haha. Yuck.

For the most part, my user pic is what I look like when I go out in the evenings, which is probably about four days a week. I'm a busy social butterfly this year, making up for the lost time being a first-year law student last year. I think I went out about 6 times last year, and I always looked like a wreck. My user photo was taken when my bf took me out to dinner on my very last night in London. We were celebrating how wonderful the summer had been but obviously we were pretty sad too! But yeah, that's my going-out face. For school I either wear my hair in a ponytail or down. I've been trying to wear it down more to justify my desire to grow it long. Once in a while I'll wear a baseball cap if I'm feeling particularly crappy, but really that's only once a month or so. I try to wear makeup to school every day but it doesn't always happen. Luckily I was blessed with very clear, low-maintenance skin. I can't remember the last zit I had. So if I'm in a hurry I just dust on some blush and lip gloss and I look okay. I do feel better though when I have pretty eyemakeup on and everything!

Here's a picture of me on a typical day. Bf and I were in Paris for the weekend, and I think I just had a little bit of makeup on. I look kinda fat and frumpy, but I had on a million layers under that sweater -- it was chilly out!
Anyway here it is: Paris Did it work?

Here is one more really happy picture in Spain:
Salamanca
Anyway that's me!

Sort-of ... that's one of the best/recent photos I have. It's pretty typical for me. I don't really do the make-up thing either. I like my sleep so when I was going to work at 5am, and the choice was sleep or doing my face ... sleep won Now I don't go to work (or anywhere else really) so I don't bother with the clothes or anything, at all.

I don't really think makeup does anything for me anyway. My hair usually is the deciding factor - if it looks bad (and it usually does!) I look bad Oh well - my theme song is the one by Martina McBride that goes "My baby loves me just the way that I am" !!

Great post Sinead

oh no ... I am so technologically challenged when it comes to these pictures. I've been just copying the address from Ofoto, because the last time I went to photobucket it said it wasn't giving out any more free accounts ... BOOOOOOO.

It looks like you did it right... I think that you can't direct-link photos from Ofoto, but I'm not sure.

This picture pretty much looks like me. I was dressed up for Easter and I usually wear glasses which I took off for the picture. My daughter used her digital camera and I made her take about 10 pics. My hair is a little short now.

I am not real big on make-up, mascara and blush and a little cover up for the dark circles under my eyes. I am really into comfortable clothes. I work at the school so it is easy for me to dress comfortably.

Well, seeing how this pic was taken less than 2 weeks ago - I think I look very much like my picture! Actually, with the exception of my hair color, I haven't really changed much since my original picture posted on here. Lost a little weight, but have kept the same hair style (LOVE my hair style!) and about the same length for a while now. And I wear make-up every day to work, and only put on foundation and powder on the weekends (unless I'm going to a party or something!).

This is what I looked like at 3am Tuesday morning after coming home from the Ministry/My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult concert Monday night.

The dreds came out the next day (can't show up like that at work!)





Very different from my other pic I've posted earlier:



Same person, tho!!!

You look like a teenager in those pics, but not in the last one you posted! two different people! All pics are very cute, though, and I am jealous of that hair!
Did you have fun? You deserved it after all the work you have been being put through taking care of everybody
When I saw you post on this thread I had thought you would be making a smart a** comment on how you look nothing like the profile pic (your doggie)

LOL! They are all the real nelly!! Yes, I thought about posting something to the effect that my profile pic is me BEFORE I shave. But since dbf had *just* taken the dredlock pics of me a couple days ago, I thought I'd just post those.

I have a lot of looks. I'm a young 33 year old and I still try to get out and *do* stuff. My story is that when I was 19, I spent 5 months in the hospital because of IBS and complications. I had 2 years of recovery after that, where I was bedridden and on too many meds to count. I think I've been making up for lost time since then, and generally try to live life to its fullest, when my tummy will allow!!

You all look so fabulous in your pictures, really relaxed and happy. It's so nice to see a group of people who don't throw up their hands and shriek at the sight of a camera!

BTW, today I look like the bottom picture, cos I'm at work in a business suit. But my hair is in a bun today. I think it's great that women can have so many looks!! My pictures either turn out like nelly the big blonde goofball, or glamorous nelly. That's about it, really.

Hey Sheri!

I had a *great* time at the show, and I'm so glad my bf dragged me out. He wasn't feeling too hot physically, but he knew I needed a good time and I'm so honored he was thinking of me!! It was good to forget my probs for a few hours and I'm glad I went!

The show was SPECTACULAR and it was the first time since 1987 I'd seen Ministry live and it brought back a *ton* of great memories from when I was a little skate betty with purple hair.

I like both looks! I think we all have a more serious look and a wild and wacky look. At least it's fun that way.

It's so fun seeing everyone's new pics.

Take care Nelly.
