Ha, waiting for proof.
Okay somebody ran off with your smile. When I see your Gravator around and about or here in the header I auto-shift to smiling myself regardless of my mood. Regardless how people see us, if your smiling the whole world smiles back -unless they are a Cuban police officer, you cannot get them to smile as I have tried.

I like what you did with the first picture, the graininess is really cool. You look very cool and elegant in the second one. Both silhouettes are to be admired because they are both Tilly!

The second photo looks like you were about to attend an interview. It is unusual to see the warm hearted Tilly without a smile.
