Au naturel AND THEN SOME

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Memes/blog awards etc

A couple bloggy friends around town have posted au naturel (that is, makeup free!) photos of themselves. I thought hey, why not? But how about upping the challenge?

How about posting a photo of myself with a makeup-free and unwashed face, bedhead that has not been touched by a hairbrush, while pyjama-clad up against a stark white closet door?

Without further ado I give you …

Anyone brave enough to take a self-portrait with a makeup-free and unwashed face, bedhead, while pyjama-clad up against a stark white closet door IN A BATHING SUIT STORE CHANGE ROOM under those awful fluorescent lights WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER!!

Nice shot, Andrea, and thanks for playing!

Amy: I agree!

Thanks everyone. I know the lighting is a bit of a cheat. But that’s all you’re getting. ;)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
