Quick, but Vital, Survey

Let's say that you were me and that you were lucky enough to have an article appear in a local newspaper. The editor asks you to send her a full color picture of yourself. Which would you choose?

A) Here I look respectable and have a very nice smile. My eyes appear even. I have nothing stuck in my teeth. This is good. However, I look a bit on the chubby side, which is OK, but I'm not sure that I want New York commuters thinking I weigh 10 lbs more than I do. (I know, very vain.)

B)Here I look young, but extremely cute and not chubby. My teeth look great. On the other hand, I look really fucking young and my eyes are a bit on the Deliverance side of unmatching. I don't want people thinking that I am a youthful idiot, which might drive away other opportunities.

I suspect the answer is A, as the consequences of people believing that I am chubsters are stupid and non-existant, whereas the consequences of being thought of as a dreamy eyed youth are far more serious. Still, I'm open to your thoughts. I want to send this in today, so please vote early and vote often. Thanks!

    Yay, me first.

    I like the second one better but the first seems more geared towards a newspaper mention.

    Great blog, by the way.

    I think A makes you look more professional and on-course.

    "A" looks professional. And you don't look fat.
    "B" looks hot. Commuters need something to fantasize about.

    So if you want to look professional go with "A" and if you want to help commuters with their fantasy lives go with "B"..

    ps: Would it be ok if I copied "B" and told everyone you were my girlfriend,ha,ha..

    Yeah, I like A because it is more professional looking. Are you going to tell us what the photo is accompanying? Inquiring minds...

    Happy & Blue: Yes, you can pretend I am your girlfriend. That is hilarious. Pretending I'm your girlfriend is probably much better than actually having me as your girlfriend, so you'll have a much more fun relationship. Thanks for asking!

    I like B better, but I guess A is the more responsible choice for a byline photo.

    There's nothing even remotely Deliverance-like about your eyes, y'know.
