Hello, 51

[clevermanka]

First picture of Year 51.



I feel like my 50th year didn't really happen, though. Maybe post-vaccines I can schedule a do-over.

Happy birthday!

[clevermanka]

Thank you!

My goodness, you're 51?

I'm 44 and my skin doesn't look half as good.

Mind you, perhaps you didn't spend most of your life in a sunny country with a giant hole in the ozone layer...

[clevermanka]

Yeah, I definitely won the lottery on good skin genes. Thanks, Mom! Also, I pretty much never went outside even when it was safe to do so, and when I did, I slathered on the sunscreen. I also own a silk parasol that sees regular use. I might die of Vitamin D deficiency, but I'll leave a good-looking corpse!

Great pic! Sending lotsa birthday hugs your way. :D :D

[clevermanka]

Thanks, bb!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I think redoing your 50th year is completely legit.

[clevermanka]

FOR REAL. Mark your calendar for... idk, 2022? 😂

[jo_lasalle]

Happy birthday and happy 51! ❤️

[clevermanka]

Thank you, bb!

Happy birthday! I love your glasses and brows!

[clevermanka]

Aw, bless! I'm very fond of these glasses (even if I'm displeased that I need them). I have my mother to thank for the brows.

Octagonal glasses ftw! \o/

(Also, you know, happy birthday! :D The later the day, the worse I am with people skills. Oops.)

[clevermanka]

LOL--I understand completely. The octagonal glasses are definitely the highlight of the photo!

Oh, hell yes!

Happy birthday! Love the glasses (and the eyes behind them). May you have as many do-overs as you want!

[clevermanka]

Thank you! Do-overs much appreciated!

[calystarose]

[plingo_kat]

Looking absolutely fab, happy bday!

[clevermanka]

Thank you, bb!

[brandywine28]

It's a good number and it looks fantastic on you! (But yeah, do-over FOR SURE. We all deserve one!)

[clevermanka]

Do-overs for everyone!

[wrote_and_writ]

Yes, you absolutely should have a do-over.

[clevermanka]

Let's schedule do-overs for both of us!

[malovich]

That is a damn fine 50 + 1

Do the do-over and have the 50th you want when you can.

[clevermanka]

I had A Feeling about 2020 when I a) had to cancel my NYE party plans bc I came down with one of the worst respiratory bugs I've ever had and b) had to cancel my birthday plans because of a migraine. Had no idea it would be that bad, but wow, yeah, do-overs for all.

[mekare]

Ooh a belated happy birthday from me too!

[clevermanka]
