(mini) Kate

I received this picture message from my cousin and I had to laugh.  It was reminicent of a photo that was taken of me in New Orleans back in 2006.

Tessa (about a week ago)

She was posing with the mannequins.  See how well she blends in?  That blank stare.  Smileless face.  She's a perfect mannequin.

Me (circa 2006, please excuse the overly blonde hair and overly done eyeliner!) (and my chubby thighs)  (thank you for not pointing out how awful this picture actually is).

We had found an alcove that was just begging for a statue.  I was perfect for the job.  And the only one limber enought to climb the 6 feet up the side of the building to actually get into the alcove.

I'm headed back to the NOLA in a couple of weeks for my (gulp) 30th birthday party.  But, I think Jason might be embarassed if I try to recreate this picture.  Actually, I know he'll be embarassed.  He hates when I do anything fun.
