I took this picture for a very specific reason. I had been corresponding with a very handsome, charming man in London who was planning to visit me in less than a month. Although we had been emailing pictures back and forth, he only had shots of my face via webcam. I wanted to show him what I looked like head-to-toe (I warned him that he should expect some serious curves) and the only way I could figure out how to do it was to take a shot of myself in the mirror. Of course I had friends that could have taken my pic, but then that would have meant that I would have to explain why a stranger I met on the Internet was coming to visit me all the way from London. Oh my. For those who are curious: The visit went quite well, indeed.
