It's Been A While

The other day I got to thinking about how it's been such a long time since I did the ol' self portraiture thing. Seeing as I'd just rugged myself up to fend off the rather offensive Melbourne winter I figured: No time like the present.

Now, as an aside - I know that within Australia, Melburnians are somewhat renowned for their fondness of black, but I'd just like to go on the record as confirming that I didn't grow up in Melbourne and, whilst black is nice, I figure it's better used sparingly.

I'm all for a splash of colour, although that said I am rather fond of grey - that could just be the pasty Irish boy inside who doesn't look good in sold black coming out though.

Of course in keeping with my new-found fondness of not smiling I couldn't help but look like scowly cantankerous prick that I really am deep down inside.

I also managed to find my old scarf from two winters ago that I thought was long gone. Gee I missed it. Wrapped one around my neck like this it's still long enough for both ends to clear the floor by about four inches, plus come summer it can be converted into a funky looking halter top. Needless to say, I don't wear it that way very often... At least not until I work my gut off.

I'm really trying to reach out to my readers lately - does it show?

Of course it aint easy trying to look good for the camera, at least not for me. To get five good photos I had to take about fifty. That really isn't much of a success rate. After all that posing and fame-whoring I just had to sit down. I was plain exhausted.

Now be a gem and go fetch your poor tired Mutant a beer would you? I can't keep up this hectic pace all night!

Anyway enough of that, maybe next time I'll show you what a bad hair day looks like. I haven't decided... I'm having one right now and damn is my trigger finger busy. grab my camera while you're up, huh?

Atta girl.
