Darkness in my Veins by graemestevens

Darkness in my Veins

Firstly, it's Monday and I face another interminable week at my current place of employment where I will no doubt be abused, degraded and placed under unacceptable levels of stress.
Secondly, I just had a haircut. I go to a barber so that I am not expected to make inane small talk about the weather, fashion, or who did what to who since my last visit. Despite this I still have the task of sitting in front of a mirror for 20 minutes, staring back at myself and wondering if Dorian Gray wasn't on the right track after all. It prompts strange thoughts.
dorian gray, now that was a story. you really have a great relationship with yourself dont you

@kali66 It was a great story - I'm fine with myself, I just take inspiration where I can at the moment ;)
March 1st, 2015  
I like contrast and cool look...someone drew on your face while you were sleeping? Excellent!
March 1st, 2015  
This is crazy cool! Super creative!
March 1st, 2015  
My thoughts exactly on visiting a hairdresser! I do try to look elsewhere - anywhere but my image - and also intimate that i don't understand much English! You are very good with white content in shots!
March 1st, 2015  
OMG whatever next?!!
March 1st, 2015  
Darkness in my veins - that's a great phrase. Hope this week is ok(ish) at work
March 1st, 2015  
I love the expression the barbers must of been traumatic!
March 1st, 2015  
Good to see you survived the trip to the barber shop. Best of luck in getting through your interminable week at work.
March 1st, 2015  
you look like an experiment gone wrong... what will you mutate into?
March 1st, 2015  
Jae

Haircut? hmmm
I am going through the horrific process of setting up my new laptop so I will have to return to get up to speed.
I do like this though

March 2nd, 2015  
Brilliant...
March 2nd, 2015  
@tonygig Thank you very much :)

@annied Drop dead gorgeous I would have thought. Good luck with the laptop, I can almost feel your...pain
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
Nice haircut! I like you more in white......you look kind of pure ;)
March 2nd, 2015  
Fantastic high key shot. I am with you. I'm not a fan if going at all. That's why I just get my oldest to give me a clip with the #3.
March 2nd, 2015  
@gigiflower I am pure, in every way.
@karlow75 I used to do my own with the clippers but I ended up looking like Billy Ray because I couldn't reach
March 2nd, 2015  
@graemestevens drop dead gorgeous indeed - I am gasping for air
March 2nd, 2015  
@gigiflower pure Phhhttt hahaha
@graemestevens
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
@annied @graemestevens You are just jealous Ms Annie ;)
March 2nd, 2015  
@gigiflower hahaha you must enlightened me Miss Sam - jealous of?
March 2nd, 2015  
@annied @gigiflower jealous of my purity of course, and my drop dead gorgeousness of course. Eyebrows and all.
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
@annied @graemestevens Mr Stevens says it all Ms Annie. Yes, his purity. And the way he puts his makeup on ;)
March 2nd, 2015  
@gigiflower @annied I once detained an Avon Lady for hours to teach me that...
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied When you say "detained", do you mean in the basement with chains?
March 2nd, 2015  
@gigiflower @annied How did you know that I have a Fritzel Room??? ;)
March 2nd, 2015  
@graemestevens @gigiflower oh help me please!!!!!!
Purity again Phhttt
drop dead gorgeous - well I am a tad envious of that
make up maybe if I learned from you Graeme I might wear some
March 2nd, 2015  
It took 20minutes to get that hair cut!
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied I know so much more about you Mr Stevens than I care to admit. And maybe you could give both @annied and I makeup lessons, would we get a discount and a visit to the Fritzel chamber? We aren't related so we should be safe :)
March 2nd, 2015  
Whoa! Your shots can really trouble me...
March 2nd, 2015  
@graemestevens @gigiflower
insanity has spoken hahaha
March 2nd, 2015  
how do you think of these things!!!!? love it.
March 2nd, 2015  
@blueberry1222 I honestly don't know...it just kind if happens...and thank you :)
@whimsicalgrateful Oops...sorry about that. But thanks anyway :)
@deliad Do you know, the amount of time it takes always surprises me, especially given that I have so little hair anyway!
@annied @gigiflower You are both more than welcome to visit Fritzel room, particularly if get to put your make up on. It's how I love to spend quiet nights at home.
March 2nd, 2015  
Just close your eyes and meditate.
March 2nd, 2015  
Great use of high contrast and great expression!!!!!
March 2nd, 2015  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied Will you have clothes on?
March 2nd, 2015  
@graemestevens @gigiflower
as long as there is wine
March 2nd, 2015  
Is it a plant? Is it an alien? What the heck is it? I'm losing my mind!
March 2nd, 2015  
@ceilidh You too huh?
@yaorenliu But then they prod me with sharp sticks because they think I'm sleeping!
@chippy1402 Thanks very much :)
@annied @gigiflower I can guarantee nothing except the wine
March 2nd, 2015  
Graeme, I don't know if you intended this to be humorous, but I couldn't help but chuckle. Dark humor, maybe? And what in the world do you do for a living??? You've got me so curious!!!!! Anyway, it's another creative masterpiece!
March 2nd, 2015  
@kareenking Thanks very much - I'm a territory manager for an industrial gas company. You could say that I have gas every day...and it's so dull that there are days when I can feel my brain dying
March 2nd, 2015  
@graemestevens Haha! You are too funny. Wow, this explains your super creative photography outlet. I'm guessing it's a means for your survival?
March 3rd, 2015  
@kareenking It is indeed - when I get a new job (which I am looking for) it will no doubt be all rainbows, flowers and birds. And blood, Lots of blood.
March 3rd, 2015  
Awesome as always Graeme, your creativity just awes me!! love it
March 3rd, 2015

@homeschoolmom Thanks very much :)
@taffy Thank very much - just another day at the orifice.
@mzzhope Thank you so much :)
@annied Nothing wrong with a bit of repression
March 3rd, 2015  
oh this is different! did they up sell you product? A little hair gel perhaps?
March 3rd, 2015  
@brigette They never do at the barber...and I'm not interested in Grecian 2000 anyway ;)
March 3rd, 2015  
@graemestevens nothing at all
March 3rd, 2015  
@annied Quite healthy
March 3rd, 2015  
@graemestevens I think so - repress all the idiots from my brain
March 3rd, 2015  
No newie from either of us - oh dear lol

@joemuli LOL, thanks...I should do that actually...
@bill_fe That'll learn ya
March 4th, 2015  
Super cool. Did the permanent marker come off?
March 5th, 2015  
@amandal Surprisingly, yes. And it only took 3 days.
March 5th, 2015  
I once had my little sister color her face with markers. They stayed on for days and she looked beat up. My mom was NOT pleased!
March 5th, 2015  
@amandal LOL, that's the sort of thing I'd do as well but I only had a bigger (and larger) brother
March 5th, 2015  
oh how i have missed your selfies!
March 10th, 2015  
@andrewkru LOL, thanks - I've lost it recently though, patiently waiting for inspiration to rear it's ugly head again
