It has been a number of years since I have done a photo shoot with anyone but this week Monday a fabulous photographer named Henry Porter came by and we shot several 100 pics which he distilled down to the 140 or so that he sent me in a zip file this morning. 🙂 I am totally thrilled with a LOT of them and that just made my day!

To be honest I wasn’t sure I was going to like what I saw. I am not getting any younger as is evidenced by more and more wrinkles and “smile lines” and although I have been working really hard to lose the weight I gained after quiting smoking 19 months ago, I am still not happy with my current weight. (But then how many women ever REALLY are?)

But I am really excited about these shots and have started posting them to my website and a couple of my public profiles. Here is one of my favorites as well as a link to a gallery of two dozen more. Photo Gallery Link 

I am not sure I want to take down the shots of me already on the site but not because I want to mislead anyone into thinking I am younger / thinner or anything like that .. the reasons are actually more sentimental.  The vast majority of the photos currently on my website were take by my former partner Nelson who went by the name “Neil Shadow” as a photographer and they hold a very special place in my heart especially since he passed away this month last year. (Wow, I can’t believe he has been gone a year now!) 🙁 

Anyway… I guess for right now I will find a way to work in enough of the newest ones so I can’t be accused of “false advertising” (lol) while preserving enough of the ones that make my sentimental heart happy. I hope that is OK with folks and that you enjoy the new photos! Love & whips to all!
