My friend who is quite adept with Photoshop must have had some really free time from her usually busy schedule to have fantasised about me! I am flattered and wish to share her fantasies so that you can understand the need for her to fantasise.
She must have been thoroughly bored with this avatar of mine.
So she decided that I should look like this.
She gave some more thought and was somehow not quite happy with what she got when she found this one.
Seeing such a holy and happy visage she decided that such a revered personality needs some Obeisance and produced something that she called Ob(ama)eisance.
I had no inkling about all the fantasising and was blissfully ignorant till she sent the images to me with much affection and hoped that I would not blow a gasket. I did not. How could I? Such amazing creativity and flattery! After the dust settled down, and I had posted these images on facebook to much comment and amusement, we spoke to each other and I promised to post an image that reflects the real me. No frills, no ego trips, nothing. Just plain old me.
Happy APR?
😀 … Well, what’s not to love about those photos!! She did a great job and I’m sure you will enjoy them for a time to come. 🙂
He he! What wonderful transformations! I had no idea you were a dedicated body-builder or Obama’s daily inspiration. That humble picture of you in your armchair has obviously been misleading us all for years.
Even I didn’t know Nick!
Nick, I did not deliberately set out to mislead you! If you did get misled, it was entirely your naivette!
Does beginning and ending with serious photos mean you want us to take you seriously?

On the contrary. You will take me seriously at your peril.
waiting with bated breath for the next photos.
baited breath? bated breath.

EXCEPT… even in fantasy… HATE the lumpy body builder body.
YUK in the extreme. only thing good about it is your beautiful head.

Okay. I am shortly off on a vacation and shall try and get some new photographs from a new place. And thank you for that very nice compliment! I flatter myself that what is inside is more beautiful.
Baited breath will do fine Tammy. Let me see if I can rise to it. Or should it be raise to it?
I like the one after the muscle-bound one. That’s my favorite because we can see you better, and you look happy.

CM, I am always happy! And now don’t go off on to my earlier whymeitis days. Even then, my resilience enabled me to be happy most of the times.
reallocating facts – geeze – you sound like a politician – LOL –

My one regret in life Shackman is that I did not. Had I, my retirement would have included spending a great deal of time with you in Texas.
Fantasizing…hmmm. Not the word I’d have used, but I suppose men must flatter themselves any way they can 🙂 Thank you for the kind words (blush) but that godawful image was so you could fulfill YOUR fantasy, not mine. I’m glad it’s off now and you’re back to your normal endearing self. Incidentally, I really like the head shot of you where you’re laughing and have turned your face away – I’ve saved it for my collection. Bulked-up hunks, sorry to burst your collective sinewy bubble, but we women prefer our men buff but not muscle-bound. In fact, the physical aspect matters less than how you actually make us feel – about ourselves and about you. Regarding the Ob(eisance)ama image – again, YOUR fantasy/ego boost. You KNOW you loved it.
But of course, I loved it. This post is just my way of expressing my appreciation for it.
what’s APR ?
But it would have been more fun on 1st April.

APR is my friend who did the photoshopping. You never know! I bet that she is scheming up something already for next April.
