Advertising for a Man
I told you about my photo shoot
in conjunction with
advertising for a man.
So here are the ad shots.
Not a self portrait, strictly speaking.
But portraits of my self.
And here's the ad copy
WHO I AM
a spiritual being in a physical body * a chai baby * a girlie girl
with a soft side * intelligent, capable, creative * analytical * intuitive*
a writer * a voracious reader * a great friend * an adept problem
solver * playful or serious, as called for * funny * someone
who believes that perfume is an essential fashion accessory *
a believer in casual chic * fanatical about comfortable shoes *
sensual * supportive and nurturing * optimistic *
a woman with a zest for life * politically moderate to liberal,
with a touch of libertarian lurking inside * alternately chatty
and quiet * love word play * enjoys my adult children *
prefers cats to dogs, but lives with both * likes listening
to music, seeing films * a blogger * a communicator *
usually patient and tolerant * need private time and quiet
to recharge my emotional batteries * somewhat
romantic & sentimental * when committed,
faithful and "dedicated to the one I love" *
affectionate * demonstrative * financially responsible *
thoughtful * insightful * occasionally drop the neatness ball *
mostly organized * usually early or on time *
sometimes unpredictable * tend to see the glass
as full to the brim (forget this "half full, half empty" stuff).
Any takers?
Not so far.
Good thing I enjoy my own company.

Always good to have a friend on the side that will help you, too. Have a great day.
and the right guy is out there...probably someone you already see all the time and don't even know it yet...
it's kind of exciting :)
You are completely honest and genuine ...and these characteristics will find a match...
The photos are charming - showing you as sensual, vulnerable yet strong...
Happy days
But it's good to talk and laugh about this process, otherwise it is just so inhuman, so degrading. I'm so much more open about it these days.
Oh, I had a laugh yesterday. One of the sites I've been on offered me a new subscription service, where they do a more in-depth personality profile. So I did the profile (that bit was free), and then waited for their suggested matches to come up. Tick tick tick. Time passed slowly for a moment or two. Then I had a whole page of 'matches' but not one of them was calculated as more than a 51% match to me. That doesn't sound good enough, does it? I could find someone that's only a 51% match in the supermarket, I think. But then, I wouldn't have the chutzpah to go up and ask them out anyway.
Perhaps it's just pointing out that I'm a bit eccentric, a bit off the wall. And maybe I don't want a 75% match anyway. So what's the point of the personality profile?
You've got to smile. Or you'd crack up. Let us know how you get on. And maybe we ought to ask some of the 'lesser' matches out on dates, just for the fun of meeting up with someone.
Bright Blessings.
Beautiful pictures and what a great word portrait. You go girl!
