I have been meaning to post a photo of myself here for a while and I keep on forgetting. So what better time than now when I have been inspired by my lovely British friend Barbara to bear all. I have been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to visit anyone on line and when I did everyone was naked. YAY.
The idea originally came from Jodie Ansted at Mummy Mayhem.
My gorgeous American friend Kristin wrote that, if you believe that beauty comes from within and would like to support this movement, put up a post on Friday and show us your beautiful self, sans makeup.
It is Saturday here in Tasmania but better late than never.
I don’t wear makeup unless it is a special occasion and this photo is how I generally look every day. Except that in this photo I am remarkably clean. Normally I have clay on me somewhere.
Each year as the Blogher conference gets closer, I wish that there was something similar here in Australia. Given the low profile of blogging in Australia and the even lower financial returns, I doubt that a conference on the scale of Blogher would be financially viable.
But, that doesn’t stop me from thinking about the possibility of an annual or even biennial bloggers conference in Australia. mmm… A bit of organising here,a bit of corporate sponsorship there, the hiring of a venue and “Robert’s your Mother’s Brother.”
In other news, I have been walking around the house quietly going, “Squeeee” with excitement. Mum and I are going to visit my brother who lives on the New South Wales, central coast. Aaaaand my little brother actually lives quite close to Tiff from My Three Ring Circus. Soooo Tiff and I have organised to meet up for lunch. At Tiff’s house. WOOT!!!! I don’t mind missing the blogher conference at all now. Not one bit.
So at the moment all is well in the Frogpondsrock household. YAY
