A Few Photos…Of Me.
December 2, 2014 § 12 Comments
So many fashion bloggers put themselves in their blogs – literally. For someone like myself who devoted a large part of their youth to a career in the performing arts I’m surprised by my own reticence to doing this and can’t see myself modeling my favorite shoes or clothes. Maybe it’s where I’m at in my life — raising my son and trying to find that all too illusory balance between family and work or perhaps it’s my innate fear of the power and danger of the Internet and the loss of freedom that goes with that. Who knows? Maybe it’s also because I’m not sure where I fit in? Is this really a fashion blog? Whenever I write a post there’s a place to click category. For almost a year now every post has been checked uncategorized. It’s only recently that I’ve started to try and figure that one out. Maybe it’s also because I am a mom and my focus has now shifted off of myself to taking pictures of my son or that really I’m the one that likes to take the pictures rather than pose for them! In addition there’s nothing like motherhood to make one lose their sense of vanity. I’m sure most mothers out there know exactly what I mean. I’ve gone whole days without looking in the mirror. Something that would seem so shocking to my 20 something self…so, I decided I would try and find a few different photos through the years to post and found I actually had much more than I thought. Here’s a sampling — so what category would you choose for my blog?

Julia, I always felt you had no idea of just how gorgeous you were and are. Even as a performer – you were an artist first and your beauty didn’t intrude. Which is the the ultimately the artist’s job. You never leaned on your beauty for anything… probably cause you didn’t think about it or believe it. I see this blog in a similar category. It’s about a subject that is very much fashion oriented but you bring so much more to it with your knowledge, stories and point of view.

How lovely to see you Julia! Like you, I hesitate a lot to putting my face on my blog (or anywhere on the net really), mainly because I’m not such photographable material 🙂 Your photos are great. My favorite is from the St. Petersburg times.

Lovely to lay eyes on you! You have the look of a young Molly Ringwald in the pixie cut pic. I have the same dilemmas on my blog. Never wanted to be a fashion blog; today I’m wearing type thing, thought I’d keep my smiling mug to a minimum, never quite sure how to define it…yup it’s complicated! But glad you showed your pretty face! XO
