The Picture of Ms. CrankyPants

Okay, so I was going for a whole "The Picture of Dorian Gray" thing with the title of this post. But if I have to explain the title, clearly it sucks.

I'm going to keep this brief, for there's not much to say except: (1) I'm doing this because people have been harassing me since my previous post when I mentioned the stupid thing and (2) STOP LAUGHING.

And: This is molto embarrassing.

FINE. Here it is. I hope you're happy.

It really doesn't look like me at ALL.
What the hell are YOU laughing at, Wee Squeaky? You're standing in a cupcake. Jerk.

    1. Alas, the hair does NOT cover it, thank you very much. (Ladies and Gents, meet my lovely sister, the anon but not lesbian porn spammer!)

  2. Come clean, Ms. Crankypants, and post a picture of the real you so we can compare. Then let the laughing ensue.

    The picture is nice; I like it. Now, whether it is an accurate depiction of you, that may be another matter.

    1. Webster,

      I would...but I am still protecting my identity in case I say something truly offensive; then I can deny it was me!

  3. Wee Squeaky is just jealous. When has anyone begged to do sketch the feisty little critter? Hmmm?

    1. I can tell you, EC, that no one has ever asked to do HER portrait. I think you are right and will tell her so at once.

  4. It's um, lovely!! Love your hair, lol.
    I was going to say something mean about it looking like a 'Have You Seen This Person' profile sketch, but that wouldn't be nice.
    No, honestly, it's charming. Much better than my classic fish face pose. Not jealous at all (much).

  5. Since we don't know what you look like, we are gonna have to go with this! Beautiful big eyes, a perky turned up nose, and flowing hair...not bad at all.

    1. Score! Now I can never put up an actual picture; the reality would be far too disappointing!

  6. it's not that bad - you expression seems to be saying "ok, i know this is a really stupid thing to do..." and the folds on the print make it look like a screen grab from Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" video - is it just me? oh.

    anyway... when i was a young boy we went on holiday to Corfu around my Dad's birthday and he wanted my brother, mum and i to have a similar portrait done - they're really flattering, so much so that a small mole on my mum's nose was removed from her portrait! as such the portrait doesn't look anything like her.

    well done, ART! [shakes fist]

    glad you had a great holiday - italy is brilliant, isn't it?

    1. Steve,

      I did feel quite silly sitting there; I think he captured that rather well, now that you mention it! The folds on the print are from me hastily wadding it up and stuffing it in the closet, but I can see the "Kids in America" thing. Or A-Ha's "Take on Me"?

      Oh, yes, they are good at leaving off all traces of reality. I am wrinkle-free! No freckles! It's amazing!

      Italy. Sigh. Brilliant.

    1. Pshaw, My Inner Chick, pshaw! It's just a pretty drawing. And I have *loads* of personality flaws, so you should take great comfort in that. I would. :)

  8. A real fashion plate. Even Wee Squeaky has flowing hair...body hair, but hair nonetheless.

    1. Yes, Wee Squeaky does have lovely hair, doesn't she?! (Good thing the artist in Italy didn't do a full-body drawing, or you'd have seen all of my flowing body hair. Uncontrollable, really.)

  9. I'm not sure why I didn't see this when you first posted it, but better late than never! It's not a bad picture, but you are far prettier in real life. Your hair is a little too poofy in the picture, and your real chin certainly isn't that long. In addition, the picture fails to capture your exotic inner self and certainly does not convey that aloofness-bordering-on-disdain that we seem to share... LOL
