I remember my mom, age 80, telling me, “I look in the mirror and I think, who’s that old woman?”
I don’t know what my mom’s “real” image really looked like. I do know the person who lives behind my eyes–she’s still somewhere in between 10 and 13. She’s somebody who lives happily in her body, but expects you mostly care about her ideas and her jokes.
Yep, that’s me up in that apple tree.
And how about you? What do you really look like, inside your head? Give me a comment and post a link to “your” picture, okay?

Another Photoshop toy* from Betsy’s subconscious: International Babe Magnet Frank Paynter.** I see him surrounded by glamorous bloggeresses. (If you saw the first Austin Powers movie, you know–these “girls” are far from pushovers. Each cute fluffy bra-cup conceals a machine gun! But with IBM Frank, one just wants to have fun.)
I got to know Frank because he interviewed me.
I’ve done interviews before, but Frank’s are amazing. He asks such friendly, surprising, intelligent questions–because he wants to get to know you and let you shine.
Some other personal favorite Frank Paynter interviews:+ Elaine of Kalilily, Jeneane Sessum, Halley, and most recently Shelley Powers who pointed out:
“…this isn’t a Frank Paynter interview if there isn’t sex in it in some way.”
And in conclusion, I’d like to thank Beth for sharing her IBM husband with the blogworld.
* No actual women were harmed while making this picture–all models accurately represent my own appearance and clothing at BloggerCon.
** My other favorite IBM
Niek Hockx was too busy Nederlands shutterclogging to get to BloggerCon.
+ Frank also does great interviews with men, though that’s off my topic. If Frank wants to interview you, say “Yes, yes, yes, yes!”
