Photo Booth – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

IT WAS ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO that I was sitting home alone at night being bored. It was too early to go to bed, and too late to do any major cleaning – or so that was my excuse – so I hit up my usual gals online. A while into our daily discussions, my great friend Kamie posts a picture she took with Photo Booth.

Now, before I tell you about the pictures, I need to explain Photo Booth to the less fortunate, unknowledgeable poor souls that are stuck using Dell or PC people that don’t own a Macbook as a computer. A Mac comes with many things, and one of them is an application that will take pictures of you from your web cam. Nothing new right? Well, Photo Booth also comes with all these neat options that will distort the picture.

It was 11:00pm, and we were bored. Kamie posted a pic and I about died laughing, so she taught me how I could do it too.

My first try was cautious. Cute.

My second try was using Ollie as the test subject. Let’s just say that the below pictures makes his under bite look normal.

I didn’t dare try that effect on me, and then I remembered that I am AubreyMo – the internet queen of all things self embarrassing and humiliating. What do I care if  I post a couple of pictures of me that aren’t ideal? I WAS BORN WITHOUT A SENSE OF SHAME.

I let go of all thoughts of self image.

Who cares if I look like I have Jay Leno’s chin?

Who cares if I take a picture that looks like Nanny McFee?

And so what if I wind up looking like Kathy Bates in the show Misery where she takes a sledgehammer to some dudes feet?

Anyone seen the movie Mars? Because I have some alien photos too.

The best photos were those I took using the “X Ray” effect. Honestly, I’m going to throw them up on this post really fast, and then google pictures of butterflies and unicorns because I need these scary images out of my head.

These should be  horror film ads.
