...because I realized today that I don't actually have any pictures of myself in garb, and because I utterly adore my new mask and wanted to show it off, and because I'm trying to get better about having my picture taken....

that is a lovely dress. also, where did you get the mask??

The mask is a long story. :) I originally saw it displayed in Davis Square as part of their Art In The Square program last summer, and I sighed and stared at it for a month or more. Then at Arisia this year I saw it again on Dealer's Row; it turns out the artist who made it was vending there. I tried it on, fell in love with it, and decided that it was a gorgeous but impractical waste of money.

So apparently [livejournal.com profile] umbran snuck back and bought it for me, and gave it to me for Valentine's Day. :)

Are those bead things hanging down freely? That's really cool. You look wonderful.

Thank you - and yes, they just hang down over the eyes. It's an amazing effect, and at least half of what made me fall in love with the mask....

Your mission, should you decide to accept: a picture of you, smiling into the camera (as if at your darling [livejournal.com profile] umbran)(which, if he's holding the camera, you would be, so!).

ps: stunningly pretty garb and mask! Excellent choice, looks wonderful on you!)

Thank you.

That said... please don't push on the smile thing. It's a major trigger for me, for a lot of reasons. I *can't* smile when there's a camera pointed at me; when I do it comes out looking like something between a death rictus and a grimace of pain. I've tried, for about 30 years. This is as smiley as it gets, unless I'm caught completely off-guard.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I'll bet you've said that before, and I just plain forgot! In any case that right there is a very stunning photo. (And you are looking at the camera, which is probably progress enough for the time being.)

Onwards and upwards!

Really an excellent combination of mask, outfit and wearer. You managed to look much more godly than I...
