But when I do –– oh heckydoodle, who am I trying to fool? Whole chunks of time are left bleeding and helpless in my wake.
I'd like to be bigger and better than this, but I just kept hoping to find a more flattering match for my own face. Time, I will not pretend, was laid waste in the mostly fruitless effort. Portrait of a Man Dressed as a Shepard, Sigh. Portrait of the Danish King Christian. Heavy sigh. Fine fine fine. I didn't go so far as to put on make-up, which I hope explains why me and King Christian both look a little, um, fatigued. Still, even when I went way, way, way back, to the passport photos that didn't turn into my first passport –– kind of a funny story. I was pretty sure I had been adopted after the passport office rejected my application MORE THAN ONCE –– guess who Google says I look like?

Seriously, if you were going to be any of the First Ladies of the mid=20th Century, better Eleanor than Nancy. Or Maimie. Or Bess.

In truth, I did, but the matches were not very entertaining. Or flattering. I only really feel comfortable making fun of my own looks.

Gal hit bottom hard with her public comments in 03 and 05. Still, her picture's on all the dollars and quarters in my pocket !

You, my beautiful friend, do not resemble Eleanor in any fashion. I do recognize a bit of shepherd head, to tho. Jeff, on the other hand, is a more fetching version of Sir Stevenson.

Oh, Lo, you need to waste a LOT more time on this one! You WILL find something more apropos or at least a lot more funny if you continue to look...
