It is pretty obvious how I did it, just me and the mirror. I also really like the way it turned out this week too. It is simple, no photoshopping this time.
When I was working on it the lyrics to Joyful Girl, an Ani Difranco song kept playing in my head. Yesterday when I was working on this portrait I was kinda mad because my Mom and Aunt were all mad at me for the Portraits I posted for last weeks challenge. You can view them RIGHT HERE... They think that it was a mistake to post them on the internet where everyone and their dog can see them, they think that the pose was suggestive and provocative... I don't see any of that in those pictures at all.
So, here are the lyrics to Joyful Girl. It is the second verse that really kept playing in my head yesterday.
Joyful girl
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry
i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
And here is my picture.
