Was spending some time (came back from walking my dog, was getting ready to stitch, got distracted, by internet of coarse) looking through many of the pages in this topic, and some of you all are simply amazingly dramatically transformed, got me looking carefully think, huh, nah, can't be the same person. Yeah, just wow.

Okay, I think I posted in this topic some years ago, but going to again, most likely the same old image I used of the old me, but I don't have very many good ones to choose from that show me well enough close up. After smiling my way through here I decided to make a before and after showing similar poses (even sporting the ponytail the same), trying to snap one of me now as close as possible to my old self (my camera got pretty hot to touch, kept knocking the darned thing down too, surprised it didn't break) for a more accurate show of transformation; of coarse there is a big age gap between then and now, but I think I still look good (camera is being overly generous I think, my skin looks too amazing as I'm only wearing lipstick on my lips, nothing else).
Only things done different with my face since then, hormones, though unfortunately not consistently, especially in recent years, no facial hair of coarse, eyebrows thinner from years of plucking, that's it. Not all that drastic, but I'm okay with me face, though there was a time that I hated to look at it, now I can't see myself ever having wanted to look like someone else, like my sister for example--before hormones I used to envy her, thought she was so lucky to be so pretty, but in time I grew to appreciate my own features.
