Is That Really You?

Which photos look attractive to you - the ones on the left or the right? What do the photos on the right say about these people? Yes...they look DATED!

When these photos were taken years ago, I'm sure they didn't seem as bad as they do now! All three look very different in these photos but they are obviously the same people: ex-First Lady Hilary Clinton, father-to-be, Brad Pitt and fashion trend-setter, Sarah Jessica Parker. They may be intelligent, warm-hearted, and even fun to be with, but if these three celebrities still looked like their photos on the right, would we be interested in them? Would Hilary appeal to so many people as one of the most powerful women on this planet? Would Angelina Jolie be going out with Brad? Or would Sarah Jessica Parker have been able to play the attractive role of Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City"?

Your image can affect you positively or negatively. Undoubtedly it makes life more difficult when it works against you! A poor image can erase all your great qualities, leaving the impression that you're not quite with it. Even if you haven't lost or gained weight and you can still fit into the clothes you bought ages ago - think twice. This image can give out the impression that you are hard-headed and can't take in new ideas, that you might  be clinging on to the glorious past or you're possibly having financial problems, even if none of the above are true.

Whether it be your clothes, hairstyle or make-up - check that they are up to date. Remember, how you look says a lot about who you are.
