Happy Happy Smile Smile

This is what my smiles look like in my head.

I always feel so awkard smiling in photos. ALWAYS. My dad managed to catch this picture of me not grimacing or smiling like a crazy person (my two photo smile options), so it's going right up as my icon. I got a few sets of sandals in that I had ordered and like I should have known, the two wedges are going back and the flat pair is staying. I just can't get it through my head that I can't walk comfortably at all in any sort of heels. My feet are not made that way. I put on makeup today after seeing a picture of a silent film star on Tumblr. When I do my makeup, I pay attention to my eyes and occasionally slap on some lip gloss. Full-service eyes require eye-liner, mascara, and eye-shadow (a shimmery pale gray today). I even got a close-up, since my eyes regularly appear dark in the full photos. As you can see, they're actually a kind of blue-gray. With little white lights in the center of the pupils. And dark shadows under my eyes (shown here at their best and lightest), that I've had since I was a kid.
