There's this thing I find really cool amongst blogggers called 'Awkward Photoboothing'. It's where bloggers, in the absence of a photographer boyfriend or a fancy SLR, submit to the low-fi technology of the in-built laptop camera. Fashion blogging is all about the photos. If you have bad, washed out, cheap photos, it doesn't matter how nice your clothes are. There's something almost lomographic about photoboothing however, that says 'Actually I'm just trying to show you my outfit for the day'. Thus I found for myself Awkward MirrorBoothing, sometimes known on the Internets as 'The Myspace Profile Pic'.

 Unashamedly take photos of myself in my large loungeroom mirror, is now what I do.
