Today, I was talking with my mom about getting my school photos retouched. I believe her exact words were, "They'll take one look at you, and charge me triple." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML
Today, I went to get my school picture taken, when the photographer looked at me, saying, "You look like you need a mirror." FML
Today, my parents told me they wouldn't be able to afford my senior portraits. That was fine with me, until I found some expensive professional photos in the mail. Of our dog. FML
Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML
Today, I told my mom that I wanted professional head-shots done for Christmas. When asked why, I said "I want to submit them to a modeling agency." My mom exchanged looks with my sister before laughing so hard that she wet herself. FML
Today, my sister got her retouched wedding photos. Apparently one of the things she had the professional do was edit me out of them. FML
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Today, I went to buy some makeup. As I was checking out, the cashier said, "You're going to need more than that to cover up that face." FML
Picture perfect
Today, I was having lunch with my sister and my mother. While my mom was busy ordering food, my sister said to me, "Look at this!" then contorted her face so that she had a double chin. My mother looked over and said to her, "Stop making fun of your sister!" FML
Ugh
Today, formal portraits of my entire class were posted online, with about five photos per person. As my mom was looking at them, she was commenting about how pretty all my classmates look. When she got to my photos, all she had to say was, "Ugh". FML

Your mom sure is sweet. Upside: those are half her genes.

How much "retouching" does she think you need?

My mother and your mother are very much alike. The sad part is that in my case she is right. It's ok though, I'm sure your photo will turn out great.

Yeah, uh I'm fairly new here and I keep seeing you send comments begging for attention and compliments. Is this normal, or are you just a troll looking for sympathy?

Wow. Don't go on FML, where people go to have a laugh at other's fails, to fish for compliments and sympathy. That is single-handedly one of the dumbest moves I think I've ever seen made. Go make a Facebook and post, "I hate my life." You'll get more people to feel sorry for you there.

YDI for having an outward appearance unapproving by today's society, deserving of a blunt label such as "less appealing than the average woman." Short version: grl, u ugly!

Maybe your mom can offer herself to cut down on the price since it's partially her fault.

^ I did the same, but I took a semester class on photo editing a while back, thus my uncertain explanation.
