Another Day in Paradise
This is a self portrait I did a few months back. I had the idea and decided one morning, to just go for it. I was quite pleased with the results. I had to find a cigarette (no one in my house smokes) and dig out the old hair curlers.

Got your message in screening of my picture. I didn't think mine goes through after I compared it. Yours is just so great. I love it. This is so ... what can i say ... well it does have a different feeling.
Renato wonders if we are related. ;)
Judy W  HAHA - thanks Anna. I had this image in my head for a long time before I actually did it. I had to find a cigarette, get the hair in curlers and have the set up just right (which I usually hate doing) but it worked. I laugh at myself, every time I see it. All the best!!!
Anna Lepke  Getting those thing in your hair is quite difficult. I'm so glad that I don't have do do this every day. Your picture give me that old feel, I can see my childhood-neighbor, ... actually there was not only one who looked like that.

(I didn't have as much fun as you doing mine, ... but that's another story.) ;)
Judy W  Ha ha- hot rollers are pretty easy to put in. It's the other kind that are tough. I had fun that day. ;~)

He, he, the way I feel right now, another day in paradise, oh yeah! So ... any ideas about what to make for dinner? :)))
Judy W  She never cooks. It's Kraft mac 'n cheese all the way. HA
Ursula I Abresch  Eeeewwwwww!!!! That's too low even for me :)
Judy W  Too low?? huh?
Ursula I Abresch  Uh, oh, you actually make Kraft dinners?
Judy W  HA - my 12 year old loves the mac and cheese out of the box better than homemade. Go figure.
Ursula I Abresch  Oooops! My 13 year old hates it, she won't eat it (if I ever dare to make it). I'm good at white sauces, so I make my own.
