I was the oldest in a family of girls who were all sized 0 while we were in school, while i was the only one who had to watch my weight, they were cute and petite and i was the big goon, i towered over everyone (even grandfathers) at 5'6". i always hated pictures and that feeling persists even today. the handmedown thing struck a cord-i had 20 older first cousins and i was the first in the middle of the batch of non baby boomers and inherited the sixties jumpers, tunics, and wild stuff in the disco seventies, <BR/>i dreamed of being a clothing designer so i could wear something cool like other people--you know it really kept me drawing throughout my childhood and adolescence. i had a spot at the senior art show in high school and some really popular tiny girls were amazed that a goon like me had drawn such beautiful clothing illustrations. i really never thought about why i hate the camera so much, and maybe this is why? anyhooo, great article and i really love your creative self portraits!! they have inspired me immensely. <BR/>hugs xtinamirapeixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623703124668461011noreply@blogger.com
