OK, Dionne Dawson, cfm, Lady Emerald Devon, moonshh, Neritina, Xx aShLii xX, Deborha Lee, and Tollo...and others! I'm calling you out!
*grabs Picket-sign*

Too many people have this picture. Its boring. The picture screams at: "I'm a dull na-na head, who look! can crochet her own hat!" I dubb this picture the "Crazy Cat Lady" picture. (I think everyone's neigherhood may of had one-and this is how she looked)
It doesn't have to be like this. I know most of you ladies and you are fun loving and have a great time. This picture, thankfully, does not suit you. You deserve better.
There is help. Its only too late for any of you.

*starts picketing slowly in a large circle*

Please...please..turn in another picture. The cats stop here.

ok jojo-you first because its way easy. Reda's is posed so its harder (who is that person next to her?) But no shooting the messenger :)

jojo's picture: Firm, classic hat, bow tie, glasses, teeth showing, and looking down (his left).
Hat-symbol of authory, the firm classic nature of the hat is a reinforcment. It to call attention to oneself and to become the focus of attention.
That couples with the bow tie. A symbol of unqueness and indiviuality that with that hat is a point of excess. That person enjoys being "odd" "unque" or "against the grain," .
Glasses-intellect, firm dark rims show that he's intellect is important to him and he may use that intellect as a barrier away from people or concerns he doesn't want to deal wih emotionally (the bow tie does the same).
The downward look is also great information. and its to his left. in relationship most the time people look left when they are either giving the impression of superority, Look at Remington Steel's, that Cold Shoulder is again over the left shoulder, this is a less direct idea-but on the same line.
Review: Intellectual, who like to be different that it may hinder some relationships. He likes power and control. Perhaps the intellect, gives him a sence of superiourity. He doesn't bow to anyone. Society?-no way. He writes the script of his life on his terms. He thinks anyway..or whats to..
That takes us to the teeth, they are showing but to no reason or effect. They are just there. Thats connects the dots. The picture is a bunch of diffent signals with a small theme bleading through. The many different elements don't add together.
What does make it thtough is Rebelion and Power, but in both cases its Passive Rebelion and its Passive Aggresive Power.

He sends the message that really wants power and control, but is unsure how to get it. He's smart, but has holes emotionally. He bet he spends a lot of time being frustrated and perhaps feeling alone.

but thats the rub, he likes rebeling and therefore being alone that he is in a catch 20-2 trap of social connections and rebeling-being the lone wolf.

Rule bending/interigation: Rule bending with work easy--he does not understand his emotion side yet I'd say. Interigation and Intimidation will also work, but for a very limitied time, as soon as you set yourself as an authority he will being to rebel against it.

*phew* Ok....how i do? :)

Oct-26-2005 14:07

*hmmmmm*

*thinks you just based it on me* :)

Oct-26-2005 18:21

oh my god, you guys are turning it into science! :D

Oct-26-2005 19:29

lol! jojo you did it! Ask for it to be done and rebeled on my findings as soon as they came in :D

*begins work on reda's/sunny's.*
Sunny can I ask if you are with somone else, posing in that picture?

Ok, here we go.
Dark firm Hat, with a flair- The firm hat we already know shows a firm mind. Its large and large hats are to attract attention. The long straight hair show show patience. Curled for the evening supports that she likes attention and that she plans ahead. She knows she is going to be looked at and doesn't mind.
The eyes directly at the camera show more confidence and the teeth back that up.
But we can notice what is not there. I think with such a lovely evening out, she would be wearing a necklace and if their are earrings they are hidden, therefore money is not very important to her nor is worldly acclaim. The simple colarless top combined with the jewlrey shows that simplicity and order are important to her. She keeping it simple and yet elegant.
The body positioning is friendly. She is slightly tilted toward the person next to her (thats the friendly part) yet her head is turned fully to the cameraman (thats also inviting).
Its difficult to say much more as this is obviously a posed picture. The professional pose makes me think that she has done this alot in the past. I think with how smoothly this picture looks, that she is advanced thinker-she has thought this out (high education, a reader). Also I think she likes intellectual games....chess? scrabble? And it seems she is smart with a want of adeventure.
Smart and charming detective
Rule Bending/Interrigation--Rule bending, she thinks in advance. Don't try to confuse her with logic, she'll see right through any manipluaton and you will become an added complation to her life and will be dropped quickly. The attention to detail shows planning and she figured out advanced Sweet talking/rule bending a long time ago.

ok... how did I do, Sunny?
