In a few hours time my auction will end. Maybe you donīt want to miss it.

If someone of you wins the auction (good luck!

), I really hope he or she will enjoy the calendar. I absolutely fell in love with it as it is made of beautiful paper, the gray scales (and even the colours) are just as I wanted them to be and itīs so much more sophisticated than pictures could ever come across via computer monitor.

xXminceXx is a lovely deviant I really appreciate for her encouraging comments and steady support. In her recent jounal, I could literally hear her shout invitingly: "The game is afoot!"
And this is, how it works:
Leave a comment here and...
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavour of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.
And this is what she wrote:
1. Monika, you are doing what so few people do - you're learning to love yourself as you are, rather than trying to become someone else's vision. I think that is not only courageous and beautiful, but profound and wise. It's catching, too!

Respect!
2. Alana Davis "32 Flavours"
3. How's White Chocolate pudding sound?
4. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

5. As of the moment, your unbelievably round butt. I'm jealous!
6. An emerging butterfly.

7. What gave you your confidence?
Thank you so much, Heather!

Iīm īdeeply impressed and touched by your answers. As I said, you just know me from my work on DA but now I feel you are in the know of whatīs hidden to the eye.
But to get back to your question: I donīt know the answer myself. After years of struggling I suddenly felt I had come to an arrangement with my size. Feeling comforable for being who and how I am was the relief. The idea of taking photographs of myself arose out of the blue but unknowingly was part of my process of becoming friends with my body.
Thank you, again!

Recently I had the chance to have a look at my pictures on another two computer monitors than my own. I was absolutely shocked about the fact that all my pictures werenīt as dark as intended. For this reason, I edited almost all of them and now theyīre as deep and dark as I actually wanted them to be right from the start.

Wouldnīt it be great if pictures did adjust to luminosity-settings of your computer monitor automatically?
Iīd be delighted if you had a look on my pictures yourself and enjoyed them in their new wonderful darkness.

Maybe you can not only see them darker, but also in a new light - if you know what I mean.
One thing that is very important to me: I never meant to disappoint anyone by not replying to comments.

Mostly Iīm both absolutely all out of words, but quite shy when it comes to writing in English as itīs not my native language. Therefor I find it hard to express myself. Please donīt take offence at that. I really do appreciate all of your lovely comments and even if I donīt reply, be sure that Iīm grateful and happy. So thank you all!
