passport photographs

12.18.03 (9:01 am) [edit]

I went to the British embassy recently to collect my new passport. Before handing it over the official opened it, looked at the photo, then at me, then at the photo, then at me, then burst out laughing. I looked at it, looked at him and started laughing too. He offered to take it back and have it redone but I said I'd take it as it was. Travel over the next ten years should be interesting. What was the problem?

Well, the colours of the pic had taken on a life of their own. My face is puse. It looks like somebody has "morphed" the pic because my eyes are barely there but my cheeks are huge and shiny. In short I look as if I've just woken up from VERY cheap plastic surgery, and that my face is highly likely to explode at any minute. ewww

Oh damn. Clearly you are gay. Straight guys would never recognize Puce as a color. They all call mauve purple.

My passport photo makes me look like a mental patient. I was told this is a good thing since that's how people look after travelling for hours and days.

OMG! My passport expired in about 1996! I need a new one (you should see my foto from 1986. Woo woo!)

I actually asked the guy at the embassy if they employed somedody as a pic defacer. I cannot believe this is a global "mistake."
