[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a woman who is being a fake.  She is pretending she has it all together.  If she was comfortable with the way she is living then she would not have a screen set up behind her to hide the clutter.  And she wouldn't get all prettied up from the waist up when obviously that is not her day to day 24 / 7 persona.

She has set up a lamp to shine on her face.  She has put jewelry on and a nice blouse. The parts of her that the laptop camera does not see is very different from the image she is trying to project.  She has the laptop set up on a bunch of books so that whoever she is chatting with on line can't see the disarray of her home.

The sink is full of dishes.  The bed is unmade.  Trash and clutter all over the floor.  There is lots of wine in her kitchen but no actual food.

She has a couple of cats for company and it is obvious she video chats on line often.  She is doing the best she can to have a social life.

Same. The bottle of pills behind the camera, all the bottles of wine on the fridge.  Plus [b]she looks so stiff in the body parts visible to the camera[/b]. The cats seem more relaxed than her.  [/quote]

So not sure if you noticed, but she is dressed up from the waist up with make up on and sitting up because she is on a videoconference call. She is not relaxing on the coch or something. The point of this is to show how people are living in this weird time. Please go back to reading Real Simple. [/quote]
