Weekly Photo Challenge: Self Portrait
This week’s photo challenge is “Self Portrait.” I took this crazy picture of myself recently while I was under an incredibly hot hair dryer.
I’m not as fan of being under that thing, can you tell?!! To me, it’s almost as painful as a root-canal.
Putting people under those things is a miserable practice, it’s torture. The heat made my eyes feel and look swollen! My hair looked very pretty after all that, and I looked nothing like this after all was said and done!
It is probably the most God-awful picture of me on record! My own Mother wouldn’t recognize me in this picture!
I have to say, though, it’s so ugly it’s funny!

Good for you to be able to poke fun at yourself! It’s worth a laugh and I don’t think you look ugly at all!
Aww, Thanks Tammy! I suppose now I should do a creative one…. Hah! If that’s at all possible with my chubby cheeks. 🙂
Lol! At first glance, I thought you were wearing some kind of whacked-out motorcycle helmet!!
LOL Kitt! Precisely, it IS a whacked out helmet… and I look like a drunken sailor in a helmet!
very funny …how did you take it?
Oh, I was sitting there playing with my phone – and I wanted to see if I looked as miserable as the other women sitting under that heat – and I sure did! 🙂
What a lovely picture 🙂 Thank you Andrea for sharing it pictures with us.

So funny 🙂 Well captured
Great shot for this week theme 🙂
I can’t stand those things…..AND….you are smiling. That’s awesome.
smile is a best shot in portrait. does not matter where you are 🙂
Thanks Amar! That’s very kind of you! 🙂
There’s only one thing that’s worse than being under an incredibly hot hair dryer… being under an incredibly hot hair dryer with a stinky permanent solution in your hair. I’m so glad that I don’t perm my hair anymore. And, your self-portrait is NOT ugly at all. Your smile is wonderful!
Oh! Thank you so much for saying that! LOL… my own mother didn’t recognize me! I’m glad you don’t have to put yourself through that anymore – it’s just so darn awful and too bloody hot!
I thought that was a helmet! Funny and cute!
Cute smile, Andrea. It’s a wonderful photograph. 🙂
Thanks Nandini! 🙂
I love it! what a great idea — your smile got me smiling this morning.
Well, that’s really nice to hear! Thank you, Suitablefish! 🙂
That’s a cute and fun photo! I know what you mean, I remember a few years back I was under that same thing for over an hour and it was really uncomfortable and it’s hot on the head as well! But then that’s the only time we get to pamper ourselves with a lovely hair treatment, it was worth it 🙂
Hi Gracie, Yup, it’s so darn uncomfortable, but the end-effect is what it’s all about! Mom used to tell me, “It’s painful to be beautiful.” LOL! I’ll second that!
Andrea, I’ve never seen anyone look beautiful, or even close to cute with a hairdryer hood on their head. But Dang! You got a $MIL smile! That photo is cute! (And Kit, I busted a gut on your comment, tickled still!)
Thanks RahRah! LOL, it’s awfully silly…
Excellent picture! It shows a lot of character, and very telling. We will endure anything – for beauty!
Hi tmso, I am really surprised about all the nice feedback on this… so thank you very much. 🙂
