So, Kamian partially approved of my new skin, so its here to stay! \o/ Now begins the painful, frustrating and annoying task of...
Updating all my blog headers and profile pictures. I've booked an appointment with Sophia Harlow for the weekend to get my first professional profile picture done... ever. I warned her in advance that I'm quite picky with certain things, considering I've done all my pictures by myself for almost 2 years. xD
Kamian told me last night that I am, in fact, too picky. I can't argue with that. I had some extra time this morning, so I played around with a photo for my temporary profile picture, and realized, I really do put too much thought into photos. Here's the picture I made:
Its just a face shot, but it seems everything that appears in the photo was carefully planned out. I added the hat to show that I am fashionable, even if you only see my face. Made sure the hat was black, because that's the color I wear all the time. And the hair shown is my most favorite hair from my most favorite designer. It's funny to me that I care so much about a profile face shot, when nobody would even notice I had a hat on. Or anything like that. xD
Even still, I like it. I think I'll use it as my temporary profile picture until I get my picture professionally taken. And, I even changed the header to this blog. Awesome, no? XD All I have to change now is Fashion Labyrinth's header, and my plurk background :D
While I was in my profile, I even changed it a bit - and added the best quote ever. Its like the line I live by:
"'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln
Oh. And I joined the VIP group for Seven Ultra Lounge. I'm definitely not a clubber.... at all. But, I've been curious about Seven for a while, and am a bit curious about how I would like it. So, I think I'm going to give it a try and check it out xD

Partially approved? o.O
That's a great shot, Sai! Your eyelashes look so awesome, I'm now extra extra tempted to try some... where are those from? :D

You don't wear lashes, Quaintly? :O
The lashes here are actually the ones that came with my Last Call "Deviant" skin (which, I believe, the skins are now being sold at Celestial Studios). And, they are the only lashes that I've come across that fits my eye shape. Most others are too narrow for my big ol' eyes, and I can never ever get them to fit.

Greeting! I've been following your blog for a while now, since I came accross that kotatsu picture and HAD to get one... I love your new skin, and honestly, I doun't see why you need a "pro" for your profile pic, this one is just gorgeous!

No, I've never worn lashes. Shocking, isn't it? :D
I agree with Rosie, the pic is great, I would totally use that for a profile pic and forget the pro shot! ^^

Hi Sai
On the subject of profile pics, any chance you could help me out by telling me the ideal dimensions to use for the image you upload. Thank you :)
Oh, and I guess I also should say that I love that shot above. I wouldn't want to be the only one not complimenting you ;

Rosie and Quaintly : Well, I made the professional appointment before I made this one - mainly because I was only making this picture for fun. xD
Besides, I've never really done something like this done, I think it might be fun to treat myself to a professional shot. :D
Marnix : The proper ratio of SL profile pictures is 4:3. Which, if you crop and resize, should amount to about 512x352 pixels. :D
