Got them done - they're not totally awful though a couple of spots
show up nastily. I seem to be rocking a rumpled-contrarian
Christopher Hitchens look, which is OK but sadly 'Hitch' is in his
late forties and it suits that age a little bit better.

We got our last department ones done w/ digital camera, and aha, I
thought, oho,
now we're looking at some good photos, not
the normal kind with the flat hair and the bunface, or the nervy
selfconscious ones that turn out all down the nose like not quite posh
spice, so I said, hey, could I be like digitally manipulated?
thinking, well, it's a shot, and maybe they'll at least let me
pick the best one, and I looked all hopeful and laughed nervously (heh
heh heh) and when I turned round they were all
looking at me,
you know, like I was the vainest person they'd ever met (which I
doubt, because
the day before M had spent 20 minutes
perfecting what she calls her ladyprincessdi pose, in her head all doe
eyes under long lashes but kind of creepy if you ask me, and she was
trying to say this was some kind of irony but hooooo no, I don't think
so), so anyway they gave it two tries and they were both the same old
awful and
can you tell this has been festering for two
weeks???... *incoherent sobs* ... So, you know, Christopher
Hitchens - wow.

three weeks pass...
I have the jon of been a service engineer for PMI (photo-me)
The best colour to wear is a red top or a grey one as this will
compliment any skin tone.
The reason why you have to have a white background is for the
passport agency or DVLA to scan the photo.
Besides this the camera never lies!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it would occasionally.
I don't actually look anything like Christopher Hitchens, by the way.

A-HA I am wearing a red top! My skin tone feels VERY complimented
thank you very much. I love H&M and their 'small' sizes which fit me.
GLEE!

I too am wearing a red top and it is making me look as pale as a dead
person. Oh dear. Also my stupid skirt is giving me hassle by clinging
to my lacey tights when I try to walk anywhere so I have to keep
stopping and disentangling myself.

If you're planning any dramatic change of hairstyle you have to be
careful. My passport has me with a shaved head on it and I foolishly
and drunkenly showed it to someone once and now my friends are always
like "SHOW IT SHOW IT, SHOW US THAT PHOTO, HA YOUR SHAVED HEAD.....HA
NOT SHAVED NOW IS IT NO? HA". Not to mention bouncers who say "jesus
you let yourself go alot there son".
