You guys. I did not expect a new license photo

[Bernadine]

I just renewed my license last year, I thought the picture was good for a few years.  I have no makeup on, and my hair is in a ponytail, which my mother tells me all the time makes me look haggard.

You know those "this is what meth does to you" pics?  That's what my license looks like.

  Lol.

Eek!

But PIP lol.

Same thing happened to me, but I was three or four weeks postpartum with O and my face looks all puffy and tight like a Macy's parade balloon.

I'm not postpartum, and you can't tell where my chin ends and my neck begins.

That sucks.

I've been lucky with my past photos.

The next time I have to do a new one, I fully intend to get my face done at a makeup counter first.  LOL.

I hate my current pic. I look confused, constipated and pink.

In my state, you can renew online and they just use your old picture and mail your new license. I've been doing that for the past couple renewals and I think my picture is at least 8 years old at this point. I don't know how long they'll let me keep doing that.

When I turned 30 I had to renew my license, and I took the best picture, I wore pearl earings and fixed my hair, lipstick and everything. I was so pleased. Two months later I got married and had to get a new license with my new name. They wouldn't let me keep the same picture, as I thought they would. So, not I have a new ugly pic. :-(

Ugh. I was super pissed when I moved to TX that they don't let you see the picture - in VA, they would always give you a prevew in case you looked like a moron.

PIP!

Yes, Smurf is not a good look on me!

H made fun of me because I did my hair for the photo.

However, every time a bartender or sales associate compliments me on my photo, ("Wow, that is one of the best driver liscense photos I've ever seen!")I feel super smug.

I did that for a while - I think the picture was about the same age when I had to get a new one. But every time I got a new license (I moved a couple of times, so I had to change addresses), my face got smaller/further away and tanner.  I was pretty much orange on the last one.
