Yes - I know - I am beautiful…

Well let’s put it this way: with the right lighting, some good make-up, a good stylist, and an excellent photographer - I am beautiful. Needless to say, I haven’t been a part of any random photo shoots since that time at the Dallas Arboretum (long story)….and that one time after my cousin’s wedding (another long story) … and that one time in Cancun, but you get my drift.
