Berry Picking: Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously.... Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen

Over the recent weeks I have noticed the amount of time I am spending taking pictures of myself. My own self esteem seems to be rising but so is my own personal vanity. Perhaps it's my determination of getting noticed by the boy I sit next to in chemistry or maybe I am just naturally vain. Is that a bad thing? As usual, sorry about how crap these photos are.

Seeker said...: Aren't we all bloggers that have a personal blog a little self centered??? So don't feel bad, let things flow...

And thank you so much beauty for your soooooo nice and kind words about La Mimi FIW at my blog.

And I understand the problem with your hair, moreover it could damage it to straight every day.

jaleh behtash said...: while i agree that blogging is making me spend obnoxious amounts of time posing in front of a camera, i think a certain degree of vanity is good too ;p well. not vanity. self esteem.

putting yourself out there kind of forces you to be confident in who you are and what you're doing, which is never a bad thing! (unless you're obnoxious about it haha)

and yesss i love blurriness haha; 16 December 2008 at 08:17

and I think that a certain amount of vanity is good, and looking better makes everyone feel a whole lot better. I know I definitely feel better when i'm all made up rather than when i've just got out of bed!!
