Trying for the sultry look..

and failing miserably!
This is a selfie but I was trying a pose that I think always seems to work in a natural way. Also, a diary shot as to how long my hair has grown.

Three good things:
1. Gluten free does not always have the flavour of natural - eating GF free muesli left over.
2. John did heaps of cutting dead branches off our plants - the ones that are left by our keen contractors!
3. All Blacks to wait for - in Wellington where we have some keen relatives sitting waiting for good play - FB comes into its own!

It's a lovely picture!

[Bep]

Lovely picture, great on black!

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje thanks Bep - never tried that!

[Pam Knowler]

It’s a very flattering pose! Lovely portrait!

[Lou Ann]

Wonderful pose and portrait. I like your hair!

[Bankmann]

Not a fail; rather a cool portrait. :-)

[Julie Duncan]

'Tis a lovely selfie, Maggiemae! :)

[Brennie B]

Nice one! Look like a film star

[Phil Howcroft]

its a good look and I like the sideways light

[gloria jones]

Super selfie and lovely hair :)...You look quite sophisticated.

[John]

Definitely a certain mystique, for sure!

[katy]

It may not be sultry but it IS beautiful! FAbulous pose and love your hair!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Nice to hear your comment about my hair - no one else comments!

[Maggiemae]

@onewing That is very complimentary! I just read that she died last year aged exactly the same as me!

[katy]

@maggiemae I love the length on you . It is very glamorous

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn The only downside to this length of hair that it blows all over your face and you might walk into a power pole if you are not careful!

[Marnie]

Great selfie, very film-star-ish.

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL!

[KWind]

Pretty!!

[Valerie Chesney]

I really like this (pose) I think you look dreamy & contemplative & I do like your hair long (sophisticated.) ....Lovely selfie...

[summerfield]

sultry is thy name! aces!

[Maggiemae]

@summerfield Perhaps sultry should mean I would wear a long black gown with a low neckline? Haven't got one!

[belinda]

Nice lighting and tones and very natural looking

[Diana]

A beautiful portrait of a lovely sophisticated lady. I love your hair and also noticed it on the last shot you posted of yourself.

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana The last thing i thought I would be described as 'sophisticated"! Have you seen me making a fool of myself dancing on the table?

[Casablanca]

Made me smile :)

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca I guess, sultry means the that a lock of the hair falls right over one eye which renders you half blind!

[Casablanca]

@maggiemae Ha ha, indeedy!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Hair looks great nd a good light - the sultry look -- watch out John !! ha ha !

[Pat Knowles]

Avery sultry photo Maggie, your hair is long & it does suit you very much! I like this pose! Not every woman can wear their hair longer as we mature, I just look totally knackered with long hair! The dark shades add allure!

[Clare Gadsby]

that's a lovely selfie. nice to see you!

[Maggiemae]

@beryl He is one of many men who never mentions whether hair looks nice or not! I think I'll put a wig on backwards and see if he notices!

[haskar]

Well done. Great light.

[CC Folk]

I think that is a wonderful capture! One hot mama, especially with the sunglasses! Very Sophia Loren. :)

[Joanna kate]

A mysterious look, like your selfie..

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I really like your hair- wish mine looked that full. I don't know much about sultry looks, but this pose is becoming and you look great- so who cares so much about sultry- it's beautiful!
