HI!!!!
Haven't had time to write a new post, though I've posted a few Polyvore sets recently.
First, a quick legal notice: there's a new EU law requiring blogspots like Google Blogger, to have a notification about cookie use. Google sent out a notice that it's my responsibility to make sure that a notification is in place on my blog. Now, Google has been nice enough to provide such a notice, and I have confirmed that it is indeed in place. I'm going to check periodically that this is true, but if you have a problem, drop me a note, or better yet contact Google directly.   A quick tip: if you don't like cookies, or want to eliminate cookies from your browser, most browsers have settings that can enable you to do so. For Firefox, it's in the tools section under options -> privacy -> check or uncheck the box for or against cookies. Remove cookies: it's Tools -> options -> privacy -> show cookies -> (remove all/remove selected) For other browsers I would suggest using their help menu.
OK!!!
That's enough technical stuff!

There's an old saying that it's a woman's right to lie about her age. That might not be true for much longer. Have you heard of oldbot.com? No, it's not a geriatric robot. It's a website that tries to determine the age of people in uploaded photos. You may have seen the little icon when you do a Bing image search.
I thought I'd give it a try with some of the photos from my old posts:
Well, neither of those worked, they were too big. Hmm, let's try another:
Now we're getting somewhere. Did I forget to mention that oldbot also tries to determine gender? Yep, it got that right, the age...well, it's a little off. I do think my makeup made me look a little older.
Here's another: 
Correct on gender again, at least oldbot is not like Buddy's friend. Age? It says I'm even older than the last photo, makeup again. OK, here's another:
Same makeup but younger! Must be the lighting. Here we go again:
I took a core requirement course in Biology at MSU, and I'm aware that some plants are either male or female but I'm surprised oldbot could tell what this plant's gender is, and it's age too! Oldbot must have heard me! It's getting close! Let's see if it can do any better:
I do think my makeup aged me a bit here. And I am old enough to wear overalls without a top. Maybe everybody is, anyway that might have confused ol' oldbot. Here's my last attempt:
 
 UhOh!  Oldbot might be getting close, but I won't say. I'm going to plead the old saying that it's a woman's right to lie about her age. It's funny that I think my makeup in the last two photos made me look older than in any of the other photos, but oldbot thinks I look generally younger. Hm, that's something to consider the next time I work up another makeup scheme.

So sorry this is my most recent post, I know you're starving for more exciting, glamorous fashion, and believe me, there is some incredibly good stuff on the way, so check back soon. Sorry, can't give you a precise date, say a weekish or so?

One last thing: vote for my polyvore contest sets! I haven't won yet! I know there are some incredibly fab people doing fabulous stuff on ployvore, the competition is stiff, but I still want to win! So, pleeeze.. vote for me? Thanks!
