Dinner Parties and Shaky Faces...

It's true what they say. "You can dress her up, but you can't take her out". I discovered the reality of this once more at my friend's dinner party.

It was quite a posh deal...everyone in their Sunday best, candles to create atmosphere, classical music playing in the background, and a three-course meal. There was good conversation, good company, and the room felt thick with maturity and wisdom.





It all started with a horrible self-photo, then it moved into a suggestion from another dinner party attendee to try the "shaky face", and finally it snowballed into actually making an attempt at this new style of photography.



Watch the magic that ensued...





Jessica in all her classy wonder...(I was the top student in 'dinner party etiquette')


*Jerry and his enchanting charm



*Desmond and his strong physique



*Jimmy, always the look of wisdom and justice




*Reegus, our own personal crooner, singing us songs till his face began to ripple




*Keira, my soulful sister, rocking out to Reegus' Christmas ballads



*Carol, always full of serenity


*Jasmina, the picture of grace and elegance




Thanks to my dear friends who allowed me the absolute JOY of putting these photos on my blog. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I assure you, each one of these floppy faced individuals are beautiful.



*Some of the names have been changed so as to protect the identity of those photographed.

Stiletto Boy to the rescue, "I did not ask for this life" he says.

Ever try "camera twirling"? Set it on the timer, just before it goes off, fling it in the air. The photos are sometimes quite awesome.
