Evil Queen

My long-time friend and old roommate, Stephanie Fowers, asked me to help her on a project this past Saturday.

I was rather amused with the idea she had of innocent-looking me playing a bit part as an evil queen for a music video she is putting together for an LDS writers conference.

I was even more amused with her costume choices.  I really had no idea how I looked, she just kept putting things on me.  So I took a photo.

Now, let me state that I am very much not a fan of "Myspace photos."  You know, where a gal takes a photo of herself and then makes it look all doctored up and then pretends like she doesn't think she's hot in those photos and then posts them to shop for compliments to which she denies, therefore earning her even more compliments.  I just find it interesting how things come together sometimes.  And slightly embarrassing that, yes, I walked around downtown Salt Lake this way and, yes, I look like a LARPer.  I never know what I'm going to get myself into. 

Anyway, I took a photo.  Then I played around with the photo.  And for some reason, I'm quite intrigued with the results, so I thought I'd share.  Maybe it is that I actually look mean.  I showed a friend, who had no idea what the project was for, and he remarked, "You look like you are going to cast an evil spell on me!"  Well guessed, sir.  Another asked if I could point him towards Rivendell.

What's your favorite?

Instagram - I think this one is my fav
I'd make a great cartoon, right?
This reminds me of that scene in Star Wars when Han gets flash frozen. 
Hot dang.  If my eyes only looked that good in real life!

Can you get me the details to the LDS writer's conference? And when Stephanie is going to put out her next book?

Also, I think the costume is fun. But you're right: I have a hard time envisioning you as an Evil anything.

I love the cartoon version, and now I want you to play someone evil onstage! Cottonwood Heights is doing Cinderella this summer... how 'bout you and me be evil stepsisters...?

(P.S. One of my CAPTCHA words is "imition", which I think is funny 'cause I just commented on your dating emissions post!)

Larissa, you look GORGEOUS as per usual! And I really think you should post the link to the music video. Or did you and I'm not a good enough stalker? Shelli, the LDS writer's conference is usually every May (early-ish), and if you join the group on facebook, you'll get lots of information on it. And yes, I do have a book that just came out. You can get it through Amazon or anywhere else online. It's called Prank Wars.

PS: My favorite is the last black and white one. I'm always a fan of those ;-)
