self portraits

... are self explanatory. 

most of these are from a Luau cocktail party I helped put together with one of my best friends... which is why I'm wearing a lei. :)

once again, click on the pictures to see them larger.



I also wanted to repost something that Kaley blogged earlier today. it's something we did way back in the MySpace days of blogging, and I loved the meaning behind it. basically, while I'm aware I have flaws and that I'm not perfect, but I refuse to apologize for being me. I love being MandeeFoFandee, and I even love all the things about me that might not be ideal for someone else. 

I just copied and pasted this from my MySpace blog, and I didn't change a thing. it's amazing to see how independent and brash I was back then (this was January 7th, 2007... I hadn't even met Sean yet). obviously, some things have changed... mainly the parts about staying single and not wanting children and not being able to pay my bills (haha). but one thing is for sure - I knew who I was and I loved every bit of it... same as I do now. :)
