I'm 42... by cocobella

I'm 42...

In fact I'm going to turn 43 in may.
I wanted to do a self portrait but everytime it's a fail, I really look like an idiot ! I don't like my smile.
May be I look like an idiot on that one but it's not too bad, with all my wrinkles, 100% natural.
I do assume every single one, they are the proofs of my giggles, worries, insomnia...
This shot has been taken by a friend with my camera during our "girls night's out", we use to do that every 2 months...we laughed like teens and I love it. We're doing a sort of contest : the one who takes the worse picture of the night has won !
This shot could have won because of the "excellent" framing, but the winner is another one of me with chocolate on the teeth....don't even ask me to show it !
Je trouve ce portrait superbe ! Tu es superbe, Corinne ! :)
Quant aux rides (rares et belles chez toi), je te rejoins : ce sont les vraies marques de la vie, de notre vie ! Et un visage qui reflète la vie est mille fois plus beau que ces visages figés que l'on peut croiser...
Enfin ces soirées filles dont tu parles : j'adore !! Ma meilleure amie vit en Belgique, nous essayons de faire un we par an juste toutes les deux à Paris... c'est dans un mois, il me tarde !!
Pour finir, Bravo pour ce joli portrait ! et profite bien de ces dernières semaines à 42 ans... :p

Very nice selfie, Corinne! You have a very nice smile!
March 22nd, 2012  
naw.. You still looking great Corinne! =)
March 22nd, 2012  
Great picture of you. You look relaxed and happy. I'm the same age so I know what you mean.

No fair teasing us with the chocolate shot and not letting us see it. Sounds like a wonderful time with your friend. I agree with you selfie seems to be my toughest challenge. You can never seem to please the client.

Well Corinne, I don't think you should worry about your selfie.

You have a beautiful smile and a twinkle in your eye. We all have giggles, worries, insomnia. They are what define us, and the wrinkles? Well, I have never understood what the problem is with them, they show a life that has been lived, enjoyed, where laughter and tears have happened.

Well done for having the courage to do a selfie, you are braver than me :)

lovely smile and interesting composition which really works
March 22nd, 2012  
I love the Corinne, it show what a lovely, natural person you are. Hurray for wrinkles, there the sign of a good life! : ))

@svt merci merci Sophie, je suis très touchée par tous ces compliments !
Mes rides ne me gênent pas mais j'ai tellement d'amies qui commencent à faire des "petites retouche" ... tu as raison, les résultats, à la longue, sont pires que les effets du temps !
Pour ton WE à Paris : je te souhaite de bien t'amuser et d'en profiter, ces moments de liberté et même de régression totale ( en tout cas chez moi !) font un bien fou !! ;))

@marlboromaam thank you so much Maggie, love hearing compliments...*-*
March 22nd, 2012  
@norikohaizumi thanks so much Noriko...more than 40 and still fab ;)
March 22nd, 2012  
@bardejov thanks so much, so you now how I feel....still 20 in my mind....;))
I don't even understand why people are calling me "MADAME" instead of "MADEMOISELLE".... :))
March 22nd, 2012  
@copperheadglass the chocolate-teeth is a must, but I really have to feel more self-confident to publish it ;) to be continued....
March 22nd, 2012  
@seanoneill thank you very much Sean, and I think you're so true.
I have a lot of friend who are doing "little" things....and I think it's a pity, as you said, wrinkles are just the reflect of our own life.
I'm sure that one day, you will be brave enough to do it !
I just turn my shot in B&W instead of colored, cos I can hide myself behind the B&W... I mean it's me but not really me....

@shanne Thank very very much for the compliments Shanne :)
March 22nd, 2012  
It's a fantastic selfie! You look very natural, happy and pretty! As for wrinkles, they just show we smile and laugh a lot :-)
March 22nd, 2012  
@lorraineb thanks Lorraine, you're right "Hurray for the wrinkles !"
March 22nd, 2012

Pretty lady. I love your self-portrait. I know what you mean about being 20 in your mind - I feel the same way!
March 22nd, 2012  
Beautiful :-)

You look fabulous. I'll be 49 in May (eeekkk, when did that happen?) and so far haven't been brave enough to attempt a selfie. I'm not sure I still feel 20 but certainly no more than 30! Thanks for sharing your selfie with us!

What a beautiful selfie. You have a really nice smile and love the green used in this photo. We all have wrinkles, they are a sign that we have lived, smiled, frowned, etc. How nice to have girls nights out.
