Gloria thought it was time she made an appearance.

I've been trying to decide on a theme for the 100 x challenge this year...if indeed I do it. I wondered about self portraits including (or possibly mainly) Gloria but don't think I will manage 100. Another option is Lensbaby shots or maybe half portraits and half Lensbaby. Need to give it plenty of thought before committing to it. I very nearly signed up to the 365 in the hope it would encourage my mojo to return but common sense prevailed.

Gloria is back by popular demand. Oh how she wished she hadn't looked into that crystal ball!

I met Rebecca in a local homeware/gift shop. We got chatting and Rebecca told me she had been working in corporate sales for the last twenty years before deciding to give it up for a less stressful life. She now loves her part time job in the shop where her friendly, bubbly personality shines. I asked Rebecca if she would take part in the stranger project and I'm pleased to say she was happy to.

I took a couple of shots where Rebecca was smiling and without her glasses, but we both preferred the 'Miss Moneypenny' look.

This picture is #75 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Gloria is getting ready for a hot date and making sure her dentures are clean!

I can't believe I'm posting this it really is so unflattering (for poor Gloria!) I was so excited when I had the idea but no idea where to get dentures from...I assure you they are not mine (or Gloria's). After trying all the local dentists, I posted a request on a local re-use site, I really didn't expect anyone to reply but was delighted when someone offered me a denture. Being fastidious, Gloria is bleaching it!

I took two Gloria pics today as I need to make up a panel for a camera club competition. My original pic won the people competition. I really don't know If I will have the courage to post the other pic, this is bad enough. Gloria is a bit outrageous...I don't know where she gets it from!
