Smiling on a picture, it only happens every once in a while that I publish one of those. It is not because I go through life looking grumpy all the time and it is not because I would not know (almost) everyone likes the view of a happy person. Trust me, I know. Trust me again, I am a very happy person. You should know that I take more than three pictures to post on the blog for each and every kind of post and I usually see a lot of smiling ones when I go through the film.

It is just that I feel kind of ‘exposed’ posting smiling pictures, which is weird coming from someone that struts her stuff on the internet over three times a week, but I do. Also, I have these dimples – one bigger than the other – that I am told are very very cute, but I seem to still be stuck in some kind of early teens behavior, given that I do not want to be called ‘cute’ all the time. And then there is this magic millisecond of a smile that I believe is the one perfect millisecond that is so hard to capture. Almost never happens.

  47. Ben super blij dat je een foto met de breedste lach ever hebt gepubliceerd!
    Dan is onze [kleine] discussie op Facebook toch niets voor niets geweest, toch?

  48. you are not cute, you are simply gorgeous.. with a great sense of style.. there you go! but then i do feel somewhat awkward smiling on pictures as well, plus I don’t dare to post my pictures on my blog at all (not yet). lol.. its funny we can have such a different perspectives on ourselves from other people…

  55. I have the same problem with the “cute” thing. I look like I’m 10 years younger then I am.
    That’s not a problem you necessarily want when your in your late 20′s.

    As always, love your post!!!
