and one more thing

What is it with people who put pictures of themselves up in their room? I went into my friend's new house today and was poking around (being nosy) in his roommate's room and almost threw up looking at her picture wall. Yes, she is attractive and blonde. So is everyone in Texas. But she has portraits of JUST HER (no grandma, no brother, no dead baby) everywhere. Like, she's even holding the camera herself and taking the picture. And it's like the, I'm trying to look really pretty smile. Creepy. Who is that in love with them self? Yes, if I had amazing nude photographs of me I might put one in my bathroom. Or if Warhol did some badass portraits of me in a bikini, that would go in the kitchen. But...whyyyy? Is it self-affirming? I need to know I'm pretty, and goshdarn it, looking in a mirror isn't cutting it anymore! I need photographic proof! Me! Pretty! All time!
