Am I doing it right?

Yes, I took this as a joke for the joke, quite a wile ago actually...I just forgot about it.

Yes. Perfect. We now know who you are and what you look like! Thanks for showing us. And now go shut that cupboard door, put the washing into the machine, set it right and have it get its go! Ah, and go clear the top of that cupboard.

Is that really you? I had you pegged for a little bit older person

Anyway, what LaFoto said, and if you could ... would you wash the mirror? Thanks

what's the lighting? vanity lighting? it almost looks flashed (kind of washed), but there's no flash showing on your camera.

Flouresent bulbs on either side of the mirror

Most of the ones I see show the person sticking their chest out, pulling their head back and only using one hand to take the photo. But then again, that's the girls, so don't do that!

Also, your white balance was WAAY too on target. I suggest about 20 shades of incandescent yellow
