 Ok, so this will only make sense if you've seen the adam's family...otherwise you'll just say "what the !#$% is that?!"
Didn't feel like showing my face today, and I've been wanting to do this shot for quite some time, so I decided...I would be cousin it.

There's actually a funny story behind this (well, funny to ME). I had to set this up in front of my window in my room to gaurantee good lighting b/c I have no fancy studio yet. So I set up my camera on my tripod, brushed my hair over my face (yes, it's the front of my head), put the glasses on, and then groped in the air to find the camera. I did this a few times without changing my hair or looking up. THEN, I take off my glasses and flip back my hair, and what do I see?!? My best friend not TWO feet away laughing her ASS off outside! I nearly died. I had no idea that she was coming over and then she goes to my window to see if I'm there, and sees cousin IT groping to find the camera.

Ahhh, fun times. After we finished rolling on the floor, she helped me take this shot, b/c I couldn't see nuthin' but blonde. Oh, and if your wondering about the cluttered background and reflection...it's my room...it's horrible, deal w/it.

Not your usual karate "I'm gonna kick your ass" kinda pose, but you are trying something different which is what this challenge is all about. Definitely have the cousin It thing going...looks good as a blond :)
