Me & Andy Warhol Knock-offs

Having just having peeked in on   Misty's site , after realizing that it's Wednesday, I found that yes indeed it's another self-portrait day. Hmm. What shall I do? I don't want to take a picture of myself today, even though I have a new short layered hairdo, a huge departure from the shoulder-length plus style I wore until last Friday afternoon. it's raining I don't have an interesting mirror whine whine whine So I'm posting a portrait that didn't start out as a self-portrait. I needed a new passport a few moons ago and thus a new passport photo so I smiled for the camera and hoped I didn't look like a total dork. Afterwards I took one of the spares and scanned it and transformed it into a self-portrait, with more than a nod to the example/genius of Andy Warhol and the pop art era. Yup. Me and Marilyn Monroe and a soup can. Me. Immortalized. Just like Marilyn Monroe. How do you poke fun at yourself?
