Fast Food Fern

8 test
I am slightly obsessed with junk food. I'm also slightlyfairly overweight. These two things may or may not be related, but I'm thinking they probably are.

4 test

My husband cruelly suggested as I was getting ready to go out last night that I was old, miserable and no longer able to take perfect camwhoring shots, lets just see... Self portrait with camera at arms length. Check. Slightly blurry focus to cover up any imperfections. Check. Artistic MySpace angle, taken from above to cover the double...
