Self-Portrait Saturday: Summertime

Hat and sunglasses optional, but highly recommended.

Would you say it's time to sit back and unwind?  

Self-Portrait Saturday: Faceless Fashion Edition

Bright tights, 80's inspired skirt and my favorite boots.  Where was my pump?   Honest answer? Cleavage.  I'm not thinking that's going to appear in any future Self-Portrait Saturdays.  I try to keep things at least semi-professional around here.  

Self-Portrait Saturday: Cat Hat Edition

"What do you expect?" I said to a friend after bumbling through an answer to one of his questions. "I'm a 30-year-old woman in a Hello Kitty hat!"

And I look cute in it too.  Bam.

Self-Portrait Saturday: Blogging Blonde

My time as a redhead is over for now.  It was fun while it lasted!

Self-Portrait Saturday: Coming at You in 3D!

Thank you, dollar store, for the ridiculousness.  My pal Harper is now wearing these as sunglasses because they make him think of David Tennant.  Some of you will even understand what that means! (Way to know your pop culture, fellow dorks.)

Self-Portrait Saturday: Totes Adorbs Edition

The Dorkabetic Herself, when she was just a wee dork, and not at all 'abetic.

Self-Portrait Saturday #5

A picture taken yesterday, on one of November's Blue Fridays, in which I wore blue for Diabetes Awareness.  I also tried on this ridiculous hat at a discount store for awareness of how silly I am.  (Which, in case you haven't figured it out yet, is "very".)

GRETEL!

Self-Portrait Saturday #4

So what does my self-portrait Saturday initiative have to do with diabetes?  Nothing?  Maybe everything?  Hopefully you fine readers don't get tired of seeing my face every Saturday.  I suppose, if you think about it, this is the portrait of someone who's living with Type 1 every day.  Sure, it's always along for the ride, but it stays pretty quiet most of the time.  I have a great life, and I love the freedom that I have.

For example, the photo below was taken in our Yaris on the way to a performance of Matt's band in Philadelphia.  If you want to see a real dive, well, that's where they played--dark, not actually suited to be a music venue but it is anyway.  I left straight from work, so I rocked out my business casual dress with some eyeliner and a funky headband.  Being in a moving vehicle accounts for the blurriness.

A little bit business time, a little bit rock-n-roll.

Self-Portrait Saturday #3

Soooo...I tried to start this as an initiative, and I'm picking it back up.  #1 is here, and #2 is here, in case you missed them at some point in history.  Because you probably did.  How many people really read diabetes blogs on Saturday anyway?

You may have seen this if you are my personal Facebook friend.  It's still one of my favorite self-portraits of recent times.

Self-Portrait Saturday # 2

Oh man, can you believe the hipsters they are letting into the shows these days?

Self-portrait with husband, hipster edition.  Nada Surf show just before Easter 2010 at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA.

Self-Portrait Saturday

Ice cream carbs be damned, I make this look goooood.  Happy Saturday!
