Take a picture of yourself, right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair, just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing and post these instructions with it.
Uh, I don't ever "fix" my hair, nor do I wear makeup, and I rarely dress up, so this whole concept of "the REAL you, for reals" is rather wasted on me, but here you go.

Snape, peering over my shoulder, is not amused.
ETA: Want to hear something weird? Certain members of my family are convinced I have blue eyes. Also, friends of mine have said the same thing. I mean good friends, too.
Looking at this photo, I can't imagine how. They're green, right? Looks that way to me.

Date: 2008-09-18 06:18 pm (UTC)And Snape is NEVER amused, except when I'm out of the room.
...and he's playing with his dolls.
Lily!doll: "Oh, Severus, you're so sexy!"
Voldie!doll: "You're a big jerk! I'm gonna hit you!"
Severus!doll: "Not so fast!" *smacks Voldie!doll*
Lily!doll: "That was so brave!" *Severus!doll and Lily!doll kiss*
(This was brought to you by memories of Spaceballs...)

Date: 2008-09-18 06:32 pm (UTC)Then as it was opening it dawned on me...I already know what you look like!
Yep, just like I remembered! So cute! Snape isn't the only one who doesn't look amused!
I can see if you were wearing the right clothes your eyes might look blue...

Date: 2008-09-18 06:48 pm (UTC)*snort* That's hilarious! Yeah, you already know what my crazy mug looks like...hee!!
Snape isn't the only one who doesn't look amused!
I took about ten shots, but the first one turned out to be the best. The last one looked really unamused, let me tell you!
I can see if you were wearing the right clothes your eyes might look blue...
aha! That must be it. Because it's really mystifying to me--in the bathroom mirror, they're always green! ;)

Date: 2008-09-19 12:29 am (UTC)Your eyes, I'm afraid, do not look green to me. I'd say grey, though that might change depending on
whether I'm using a good monitor or a cheap onewhat colors surround you (clothes, background, etc).(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-19 02:44 pm (UTC)And he insists that my eyes change color with clothing/surroundings as well. I've always thought that was a strange expression--I think it's more accurate to say they look like a different color--the color stays the same, it's only the perception that changes.

Date: 2008-09-19 05:10 am (UTC)Your expression is priceless. Wry and amused and very, "Yes, your point is?"
My monitor insists that you have blue-grey eyes. But then, my monitor is color blind.
Such lovely pictures on my flist today! It really tickles me to see what people look like.

Date: 2008-09-19 02:47 pm (UTC)My sister is even paler. Hard to believe! And this is me with a semi-tan from my trip to Cape Cod, as well.
Your expression is priceless. Wry and amused and very, "Yes, your point is?"
hee! It was very much, "Are you really going to post this? Hmm? This is silly, to take a picture of yourself and not post it, Valis."
My monitor insists that you have blue-grey eyes. But then, my monitor is color blind.
Very interesting! Very, very interesting.
Such lovely pictures on my flist today! It really tickles me to see what people look like.
It definitely shapes perception quite a bit, doesn't it? And I'm always amused by how some people look nothing like what I expected.
