A Picture is Worth...
So I got my photos taken for the book jacket. Wow, would I make a terrible model. Not because I'm not photogenic (though true) but because posing for photos is boring. How long can one stare at the big black hole of the camera lens without going mad? For me, it was about an hour.
Remember when I said that thing about my involuntary eyebrow-raising trick? Of the 90 photos I got back guess how many lack a raised brow? Two. My roommates assured me my raised brow was "quirky" and "mysterious" and could become my signature look. "It better," I said. "Since it seems to be a tic I can't control." We're going to market it as "signature look" though because that sounds better than "uncontrollable tic."
Mad props to Alycia Braga for having the patience and kindness to keep snapping away and never saying, "Can't you do something about that brow?" See her stuff here.
