Was showing off my new glasses on discord. No reason the rest of you should be spared.

Nice specs, Aduchil! Looking good 
I put an assassin-esque photo in the Mordor thread, but I'll save the more elf-life shots for here.
A young Alma in her natural habitat, with a familiar book: (2005 - long before my Plaza days)
And some much more recent shots, starting with archery:
My new natural habitat, standing on the wall of my college with a library (albeit a blurry one) in the background:

Hmmm, no one looks anything like their Plaza icon. Highly suspicious. 
I'll find an er...more recent photo to share later, but first I thought I'd go for the easy accolades and present this gem I found last time I was home. It was in the pile of stuff dad brought home from the office after he retired.

Love the glasses, Aduchil! And I have serious bookshelf envy from what I can see of the tall shelves behind you.
Alma, I love these photos! Younger me would've wanted to hang out with younger you, and the black and white is just beautiful.
Baby Linny is adorable!

Love the new glasses @Aduchil ! They look a lot like the style of some of my glasses.
@Almarëa Mordollwen Love the archery shot! I haven't gotten to use a bow in ages; I miss it so much!
Wee @Aerlinn is the cutest!!

Ohey guys!
I've been experimenting with eye shadow recently, so here's me a few weeks ago with an orange/pink blend I attempted.
And this is me as Elsa, back in January (before the Coronalpyse launched):

@Lúthien Tinúviel Eyeshadow experiments are SO FUN. The mix of orange and pink is so bold! Do you have a favorite color combo you've tried so far? And ahhh January . . . feels like a whole lifetime ago . . .

Figure I should probably show my face in here as well since I was an elf until very recently. I have hardly any photos of myself as I tend to avoid being in front of the camera.
Here's my Halloween costume from last year. Anyone have an idea what it is? Hint: Children's book.
(Coconut tree from Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom)

@Aduchil- very stylish glasses, and beard.
@Almarëa Mordollwen- I love all of these. Very bookish elf vibes. The archery picture looks badass.
@Aerlinn- Aww, so cute! I love the overalls! I think I had an outfit like that.
@Lúthien Tinúviel- Love the eyeshadow! Playing with makeup is a lot of fun. I consider it almost an art form/form of self-expression. The Elsa outfit is amazing, too!
@Dimcairien Luiniel- That costume is great. Literary costumes are a lot of fun. Did the kids like it?
This is my boyfriend and I at a Renaissance Festival last summer. He willingly chose, purchased, and wore his own costume. He's a nerd like all of us, though hasn't read LotR yet. It's a work in progress.
Also, I am standing on a tree root in this picture because he is 11" taller than me.

So yeah I got sick, I put on weight (like a lot of it for me) and I'm down 25 lbs from my heaviest in this photo but ALSO had fun doing a makeup/hair test for a LARP character that I played before I put on the weight, so Was trying to figure out if I could start playing her again. I am having to rebuild my leather armor for her, so have decided to just keep losing weight first until I get to my goal weight before I go and spend a few hundred dollars on more leather to make a custom chest plate and back with pauldrons.

I know that I am absolutely biased when I say this but - members of the Plaza are very handsome individuals.
While I will not be actively posting in this Plaza Kingdom just yet, I am a member of this area and have a real life photograph of myself to share. So the way I figure - why wait? Also, it occurred to me that a number of members who were acquainted with me (or were around in general) during my active time in the old Plaza probably never knew what I looked like in the actual world.
This is not *the* most recent photo of myself. Unfortunately my mobile device of 5 years recently stopped working and I lost not only the original, full-color version of the image above, but also a number of recent "selfies". Oh well, what can you do right?

These eagle eggs were powerful things. Fleeg was zooming all over the place, appearing in Minas Tirith one minute, then zipping to Rivendell the next. He had no idea where he was at the moment, but the was certain that it was a place full of obnoxiously good looking people. Elves! Pfft! Everyone knows that goblins are the most handsome of all the races on Middle-Earth. It wasn't even close! Fleeg was about to give a lecture to these up tight types when he found another egg. This one definitely wasn't trapped. Right? He searched the skies for Peep Peep (@Menolly) and scurried off.
