Lisa Greene just emailed me a bunch of pictures from MP’s going away party. For the life of me, I can’t seem to figure out why I have such a goofy smile in pictures.

I feel bad for my mom and dad, who saved their pennies to make sure that my sister and I could have braces and later, perfect teeth. So today, I have straight teeth, but a goofy looking smile.
With that said, I need help. I need to reinvent my smile. No, I scratch that. I need to reinvent my “picture smile.” I think my normal & natural smile is just fine. It’s the smile that I put on when it’s picture time that looks just goofy. It’s true. As a result of my silly “picture smile,” I’m self concious and HATE having my picture taken.

Note the goofy smile…

How to Smile
This website is telling me to think happy thoughts. Ok, yeah, that will work! Right…
And this website is telling me that it’s not my fault, it’s the photographers fault! If the photographer follows a few simple steps like taking a couple of pictures immediatley after saying “cheese,” he or she will end up with a natural looking smile.
Any tips on capturing a great smile on film?
John McCain Lovers Unite!
Location: 500 N. Dearborn, 12th Floor Rooftop Deck
When: Friday, September 12 @ 6PM
RSVP: 312/505-6579
Join your fellow Young Professionals for McCain and members of the Chicago Young Republicans for a get-out-the-vote rooftop rally as we begin our final sprint toward the finish line otherwise known as the White House. We’ll gather in Barack Obama’s backyard to rally the Republican troops and to paint this Democratic town a bright shade of red.
For a mere $25, attendees will enjoy an open bar with beer, wine, soda and water served. Light appetizers will also be offered. The rooftop deck offers an amazing view of the downtown skyline as we make the most of the waning warm days of summer. Most importantly, meet and network with fellow supporters of John McCain and committed young Republicans as we join hands to make history this fall, and for many years ahead. Collectively, John McCain and Sarah Palin represent the new leadership of the Republican Party, and we stand as its future.
RSVP’s are strongly encouraged for the purposes of providing our organizations with a solid head count in advance so that we will have an ample supply of food and beverages on hand. Email (ilypsformccain@gmail.com) or call Shawn Healy at (312.505.6579). Please bring a friend, co-worker, or family member, and make this early fall gathering one to remember.
Sarah and I are planning on attending. We hope to see you there as well!
Ciao!
