Unlike Gage, this is not a good look for me…
In the past few years I’ve realized that your lips really do get thinner as you get older. Of course, it could also have something to do with the scleroderma, which is making my face less elastic. Anyways…not only can I not whistle any more, but I can’t do that lip pucker/raspberry thingie, either.
I do, however, have a kick-ass dent across my nose from the glasses.
And if you’re wondering why I’m making unattractive faces, it’s all Stacy’s fault. Evidently I have no shame when it comes to 100 points.


Of course, I immediately had to see if I could still whistle. Then I remembered that never really could whistle very well so I guess I won’t miss it even when it’s gone.

You crack me up! I will agree with you that that’s a better look for Gage than it is for you. lol

Too bad it’s the lips that get thinner, as I could think of many other places on me that would welcome “thinner”:)

Jill, words are failing me right now with this post! HAHAHAHAHA. I did not think anyone would would do it and you have totally made my morning! When Gage gets up I’ll make sure he sees your imitation. I’m off to link this to my post. Still laughing
You are awesome.
And why is it that the lips get thinner and most every place else doesn’t?

BAHAHAHAHA!!! SO glad that this is what I saw before my clock hits 8 and I have to log into work.
I’ve always had really thin lips–not great for lipstick wearing. You are too funny missy.

You look like you are rockin out hardcore to a particularly good song, and I think it’s very cute. Don’t worry about not being able to pucker anymore, my friend. It’s not a necessity.

When I first saw this post, I was like…”What in God’s name is she doing now?” LOL.
I am so sorry you’ve lost your pucker! I have plenty of pucker and my son apparently takes after me but hates the full lips. Girls comment on them,but he hates them. Ugh…girls.

LOL You’re so fearless!
I don’t think my lips could possibly get thinner. The worst insult of my life was when a photographer said, “Lick your lips. My God, you don’t have lips!!” I was 14 years old. You never forget that kind of nastiness.
Oh my … that is something! Please get your glasses adjusted ASAP!

I’ve never been able to whistle.
But your lips do get thinner as you get older… and your nose and ears get bigger. Yay?

I can’t whistle to save my life. My lips are huge (which I love), so I’m a little sad about the fact that they’re going to get thinner.
Love the picture.

I love it, but you’re right, Gage is much cuter doing the face.
