So I have to attach a picture to my residency application and I want it to be hot.
Now I know what you're thinking... Bitch is crazy.
And you are correct... sorta.
Let's keep it real people. LOOKS MATTER. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or delusional. It does not matter that this application is to be a doctor. It's essentially still a man's world. Don't worry though... I'm working on that ;)
In my non-perfectionist, non-obsessive, TOTALLY laid-back state of mind I decided to take my own picture. I went to the salon and got my hair did. I bought a new shirt from BCBG. I made RedSox stand in a corner and snap away.
After 25 dismal shots, I ripped the camera out of his hands in a silent fury and told him he did a great job.
The next day, I did my own hair. The only plain white wall I have is my bathroom door. The only camera-person around is my cat, but Sebastien was more interested in being in the picture than taking them. I did the whole camera-timer thing.
I wore 3 different shirts and I took another 30 pictures.
I narrowed the pics down to about 10 and cropped out the cat, the fact that I was sitting on the floor, the bathroom wall and whatever else.
I sent the pics to a whole bunch of people and most chose the pic of me in a button-down that totally washed me out. The pics that I liked better had me in a gorgeous yellow, but a bit more boobalicious and me wearing my cross.
My mom happened to love the yellow top, so she chose a couple that she liked the best and cropped the boobs and Jesus.
So after all the pics, several peoples' input and respect for professionalism and Judaism... I've chosen my picture.
And if I didn't make it clear before... I am NOT a perfectionist.
