Do you ever think you look hot in a mirror...

[orangeglow]

and then you take a photo and are all WTF?!?!  Who is that hag on the phone (or camera or whatever)?

I thought I looked super cute today so I was all "photo time!"

I took like 10 and then gave up.  Either every mirror in my house lies or my phone and camera suck.  Or something...

[Dezi]

Yes! All the time.

[blondemoment123]

All the time. It's depressing.

A little different, but I routinely get dressed without bothering to look in a mirror and imagine I look fine and get to work and go to the bathroom and am SHOCKED at how tore up from the floor up I look.

[kellsbelles]

You're not alone girl! I think whenever you feel like you look hot just go w it forget what the picture ends up turning out like.

[Deleted]

lol, oh yes.

[orangeglow]

Ok I was starting to feel like it was just me.  I see all of you look cute in your posted photos and I just can't figure it out.  I get like 10% ok pictures.  And 90% deletions.

[chiclet]

Yes, all the time!

[TrickyBob]

Mirrors reflect back how we feel about ourselves. Cameras are just asshole liars.

Always trust the mirror, ALWAYS.


But I have the same problem. "oh! My hair looks SO cute!! Must take photo!" *sees photo* "the fuck was I thinking?"

[wowhead]

Way too often. It sucks.

[harmony11]

Daily. I also have lying liars as friends because they usually say the picture is fine.

[wambam]

All the time.

Or, I'll look great in my bathroom at home and then under the bathroom work lights I'm like "Eww"

[cookies]

Haha. Every day. I am like an ogre in photos. I also look so much better at home than I do at work. Fluorescent lighting does not agree with my skin tone/gray hair.

Same.  Also, I have never taken a flattering selfie.  Ever.  I look good in the mirror, and like a shitshow in the photo gallery. 

[trixiedicksnatch]

Sometimes. I have a "skinny" mirror and sometimes I'm like fuck yeah I'm rockin the shit out of these shorts or whatever and then I go to target and try on a tank and my whole illusion is shattered.

I generally know how to hide and dress for my body's current state I've been through some weight changes and I bloat really bad from my high blood pressure and my period. But sometimes man I am def not doing myself any favors and I look like a cellulite infused sausage.

I saw this the other day and was like, yep.


Mirror: you look cute today

Camera: lol no

Instagram filters: I got you

[madringal]

Yes! Or when you are walking around thinking you look like a normal person, and accidenlty turn your camera on into "selfie" mode and are like "sweet jesus I look like death!".

[bananapancakes]

Every single time!

This is pretty standard.

Yeah no.  You get no say in this thread.  You take your hot ass with awesome photos far away from here and don't come back.     Even my mirror self doesn't look as hot as you in photos.

[wysiwyg]

YUP.

I thought I looked super cute the other day out with our family friends. Then they put up the pictures they took and I look like I have a triple chin in most of them.

Eff cameras, man.

Me too. I think it's the camera on front of my iPhone. I'm convinced it's a lesser quality, purposely unflattering camera, lol.

[mellymel]

every day. seriously. I look fab at home and I get to work and look in the bathroom mirror and it's like "WTF happened to me on the 15 minute commute to work???"

And don't get me started on when you go to use the camera on your phone and you forget it's on selfie mode and you're like "LOL, look at that ogre with 3 chins!" and then you realize it's yourself. OMG.

[jax373]

Haha, I did this yesterday. I thought 'damn, I'll looking great!' Took a picture and ewwww...delete!

[Deleted]

It is worse when your home mirror tells you that you look hot, and then you go out and catch your reflection on a building or a mirror and go "wtf, who is that hag staring back at me!!!"

[mellymel]

lol

[mrsjuleshs]

All the damn time. Worst is when our shopping with DD at the mall and she is trying on all this cute little clothes. I looked ok in the home mirror but man the mirrors in the mall make me look horrible.

[RoxMonster]

Yes, all the time. And I look better in some mirrors than others. In both my full-length bathroom mirror and the one in my front hallway, I could look great (in my eyes). Get to work, go in the bathroom, and in that mirror, I'm like WTF? Who is this person? This is not what you looked like at home!
