So I made my flickr account friends and family. Mostly because some titty website ended up with my photos and people were linking to my flickr account and 'suggesting' things to me. Skeeved me out. I emailed the webmaster, had them taken down, and made my account easier to control access to. However, now, I am being careful that anyone who skeeves me out and I block, that I also note if they belong to wardrobe_remix and I remove them. So anyways, I had my birthday party on Friday night, my friend E took amazing photos and that reminds me that I need to upload the ones he sent me. Everyone who came had a great time. I love entertaining and having people over so much, but every time, I forget how overwrought I can get. Just as people were arriving, I was still setting up the pizza station and even though I'd told people to go through the front door, friends go to the back, and that means they go through the kitchen, which I was running around in. With everyone offering to help (nice, but that means that I have to be gracious and offer you a chopping board and knife and then make room for you and then work around you). And then some noticed that I was a bit harried and told me to calm down. I will calm down when I've set everything up so that you can make the pizzas without me feeling the need to walk everyone through it, thankyouverymuch. And that's just what I did. Once I got everything set up, I avoided the kitchen so everyone could enjoy themselves, most of all me. It was wonderful. I still had a bit of that fear that I'd go through getting everything ready and then have no one show up. Such a huge fear in my life. One of the big reasons that I rarely have a party for specifically my birthday (this time I went for it). My real birthDAY was quiet, but nice. I wound yarn, I watched Anne of Green Gables, I played with my cats. It was good, it was a Monday. Anyways, the reason I was writing today. I took a good wardrobe_remix shot. I won't say that I never take good ones, but sometimes the artistic and the lighting and the outfit and all of it mesh and I end up with a great photo. 
There it is. I doctored it a bit, sure, but I love the red and yellow flowers mimicking each other in the top corners. and the light blue of the map with the light blue of the rug. the deap dark brown from the TV cabinet and the sofa. The wood tones and the shine of the window on the floor. Myks walking just so. The cock of my head, the turn of my foot and the slope of my hips. The only thing that bugs me is my right hand position. It's so real, but I always forget how awkward it looks to have the popped wrist like that.
looking back - thinking ahead
