cute but not inviting objectification

so i just (s)tumbld across Lisa Brewster whose website particularly caught my eye, as she’s integrated a bunch of cool things on her website – tumblr, flickr etc.  I especially like how her photograph isn’t the usual taken-from-above-so-you-can-see-down-my-top myspace profile style pic.

This is Lisa’s profile pic to the right here, posted alongside her bio which includes current job of Senior Systems Engineer, and a tech degree, so far, so smart.  I really like this girl already.

Unlike the ‘procrastinatrix’ Sarah McPherson.  Who says she’s ‘ probably pointless, but can’t be stopped’ and invites readers to email her ‘love letters’.

She may well be smart, literate, interesting, witty etc.
However, she takes self portraits from above.

check out the succulents on that

See here’s a photo of me that I, um, well, don’t want to post online.  Except to make a point.

And here’s the one I like instead.

I just wanted to show me using my laptop in the van on tour.  See, we had wifi!  In the van!  Then I realised that first pic was pretty, well, myspace-profile-from-above style.

So yes, more bloggers like Lisa please.
