You know those trend starter types? The ones who can make waking up in the morning and posting a picture of themselves, Sans makeup, cool? The ones who can say, “Ppppssttt, you should do it TOOOOooo” and you go “OK!”
So here I am, all muchtoogodforsaken early without caffeine, makeup, or a shower. Or Sleep. Because last night was a marathon of Rock-Snuggle-Rock-Lay-CRYCRYCRY-Rock-Snuggle-Lay repeat.

Hot, aren’t I?
But! I hear you, BUT! Mrs. Flinger, don’t you have a decent camera? What’s with all the horrible lighting?
Yes, Dear, but I do not know how to USE my camera. And also? Please reference the muchtoogodforsaken early portion of the post. And yes, let’s all focus on the lighting. Because it’s easier to explain away than the Ferra Fawcett Hair Style.
Raur.
Go enjoy these other amazing women who bare all. Well, from the neck up, that is.

You look fabulous.
Way better than the demon I posted this morning over at my blog.
Looking skeptically at that camera, aren’t you.
You’re a totally babe.
The look on your face
You look like you’re ready to jump if the camera moves towards you in the slightest freaky way 
I think you look faaaaaaabulous dahling!
I saw this on ‘redneck’s page earlier and thought what a great idea! Maybe I’ll jump on this bandwagon later
You’re HAWT!
I did this, this morning: http://flickr.com/photos/rhirhi/2332409879/
And, then a similar thing a while ago: http://rhiinpink.com/blog/?p=173
Yep, raw looks good on you.
I’m thinking about it…
I think you are adorable
No sleep, caffeine or shower looks good on you! No make-up needed!
You have a chin dimple! Lucky!
you look GREAT!!!! seriously!
I’ll play tomorrow..unless I chicken out. Also, you look fabulous!
I have a present for you.
The sad thing is the way I look does not improve throughout the day. What you see at 7:01 am is what you get all day.
I’ll do this tommorow since I need to be up before the sun to drive into Everett to be at the Children’s Museum for Hop into Spring.
You look beautiful. All of you do! I couldn’t bare to post my morning face, although maybe I’ll wake up and have a change of heart, you never know . . .
I had the trouble with the camera, too. Morning fumblies.
You’re gorge, truly.
I just have to say:

(and hope that link worked)
i played!
I look worse than that every day. I’m building up to playing. Maybe tomorrow!
Would you kill me if I said you look like Janine Garafolo? How about if I add that I think she’s really cute!?!
If I had any balls whatsoever, I’d join in… alas, I am ball-less. (Plus, I don’t wanna scare peeps!)
I am sitting here in my PJ’s looking uber-first-thing-in-the-morning scary though… so, MAYBE…
Hee - you look beautiful AND completely suspicious at the same time - LOVE IT.
I posted mine this morning. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
I’d be brave too if
1.you all weren’t so beautiful
2. I wasn’t so vain
3. if I had decent self esteem
Uhh…no. Not me.
I’m too scared!
Mine’s up, hot stuff!

I have to admit that I think most people look just as good (or better) in the AM in these pics…
*sniffles* i did it! i posted!
i played, too. but my flickr account isn’t linked to my blog for some reason that i am too dumb to figure out.
it was hard enough to add my photo to the group to begin with! it was the first time i ever joined a flickr group…i guess i have a lot to learn about the whole flickr thing. ‘til now, i’ve just been using it as a place to put pictures, so i can put them on my blog. i really had no idea that there are whole communities and groups and such going on…it’s like a whole new world!
sweetney is awesome, and so is everyone else who participated.
I just played. Scary.
You however are beeeeautiful! How does hubs LEAVE in the morning!
I played along today, too! It was scary, but I took the leap and it feels pretty good, actually! I really love this idea.
And I love the first picture you took with that soft lighting! You look great in both!
I like this whole let’s revolutionize the blogosphere and post natural pictures of ourselves…you look smashing dahling!
I am wondering if the tables were turned if it would make as big on an impact… So here’s my proposal…maybe all the male bloggers of the world should post a pic of themselves WITH makeup. I’d tune in for THAT!
Rawr! You’re still HAWT!!
I dig the prop in the latter shot. My pics were done post-java, otherwise operation of the camera might’ve been impossible.
You rock so bad and you look amazing.
I did it, finally!
