 Another self portrit...sigh. I need to get some models!

I chose this song because I saw Panic! at the Disco recently, and I love anything themed with the 7 deadly sins. I was going to do sexyback, but whatever. This was very hard to shoot because I was the only one around meaning that I had to write on my own face backwards. And of couse a mirror was no help because that showed up backwards, so I kept getting letters wrong. I think the lipstick looks a bit cheesey, but oh well.

This is awesome.....how can this be so weird and so hot at the same time? You are a truly lovely young lady. Hey, look at it this way, you don't have to pay a model! Extra credit in my book for degree of difficulty and creative thought. The mechanicals are spot on.

This kinda meets two challenges at once if you desat the lipstick! Very good job of writing everything on your own face; good clear focus, pretty good light, and a really nifty approach to the challenge!
