are you guilty of this

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING...SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WELL, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.
MY NAME IS PATRICIA, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.
I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH LISTED HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?
UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY-LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.
AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL .
'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG!' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.
WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.
HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'
YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.
THEN...THAT UGLY,
OLD,
BALDING,
WRINKLED FACED,
FAT-ASSED,
GRAY-HAIRED,
DECREPIT
OLD FART
ASKED...
"WHAT DID YOU TEACH?"

I spent the holidays practicing portrait shots. Couldn't find a model anywhere so I thought...why not use my fine self? Being a photog, one doesn't get shot very often and I have a very limited idea of what I look like (mostly from looking straight ahead in the mirror). Well that was a jolting experience 'cause it turns out that ' I'm a hard looking ticket' !

When someone asks if I would like them to take a picture of me and my significant I say no thanks. Rather be behind the lens lol

I’m right there with you. It’s as old as photography itself. I remember my ex-F-I-L reviewing a photography presentation about his work asking, whose that old man in the photos?

OUCH!!
Reminds me of a well meaning Client of ours asking my colleague when her baby was due.
'I had the baby a 2 months ago!' was the terse response.

I am sure glad I had not picked up my coffee, which I had started reaching for.
Great one!

Thank you for the best laugh I have had in a while. I certainly never saw that one coming.

When working on make-up for the stage, one has to understand what needs to be "adjusted' to make an actor "age" for the role being done. The best practice model is one's self. Depending on the age of the actor vs role, it is more difficult making one look younger than older.
A friend told me that we are the trees who show their year-circles on their bark as wrinkles.

I went to my 50th h.s. reunion in September. It was especially amazing that some of the women looked absolutely fantastic while others had just gone to pot. The range of the spectrum was interesting. One friend in particular just knocked my socks off on how gorgeous she still was.
