That's what I said to myself this morning after I went to renew my driver's license. It doesn't even look like the person that I *think* I see in the mirror much less, the person I see in my head. I hated my last one so badly, that I spent two hours getting prepared (yes, I'm that vain) and even went and bought fake eyelashes for the first time in my life.
I've realised that it's my smile that I detest. I have huge lips and a broad smile but my palette is narrow so if I smile too broadly, I get the Rachel Ray slash Joker smile. Ugh. Two hours down the drain. I even practiced in the mirror before I left! I had it down to a science; a half grin with a tiny bit of teeth showing. What did I do when I sat down for the picture? I smiled as broadly as I could! LOL!
I still have my license from 15 years ago. I look almost nothing like that 20-something. Aging is so much fun, I tell you!
On the brighter side, I was only there for about an hour and I sat down next to a Chatty Kathy who had some interesting stories to share.
Has anyone here ever been happy with their DL picture??????
On a side note, Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Be well and stay safe.

That's really funny about the pics. My license pic is ok/not great even though they do let you look at the picture & ask you if you want another one before they use it. My passport pic is terrible. I had it done at a pharmacy and after the 1st one the photographer said "Oh we can't use that because you smiled and you can't smile." I don't know if that's a new rule or what. But why didn't she say that before she took the picture? The 2nd one came out terrible & that's the one I had to use. My previous passport pic was bad too because the guy told me I needed to have my eyes open & I opened them so much I looked kind of bug eyed. But I think I smiled in that one.
That's so odd. They must pay the employees to compliment folks because I recieved three myself! One came out of the lady's mouth when the picture she'd just taken popped up on her computer. I was thinking, wow finally, a good DL picture! Ha! I started to immediately ask to take another but the waiting room was still half full of peeps so I thought that would be selfish. I'm sure I'll hold onto it like I did the one from 5 years ago. I'm too cheap to pay another $20 anyway!
