While playing around, taking the selfies that ended up in the post SELFIES: I WIN THE NARCISSIST WARS, I pulled some evil faces and took photographs of them, for a laugh. Those faces were so evil (also, unflattering) I decided they must never see the light of day. So naturally I’m posting them here, so everyone can see just how evil they are.

Of course, it helps that I’m currently wearing dental braces, so even a flash of teeth makes me look like Baba Yaga. Also the braces have pushed one of my veneers out of whack, so it looks like a fang. If only I could have arranged for a similar effect on the other side of my mouth, I could have been a brilliant vampire impression. As it is, I’m doing a half-vampire, half Baba Yaga.

Then I discovered you could achieve all sorts of interesting and sinister Droste-effects in the mirrored lift of the hotel where I was staying in Paris.

Then I got to playing around with the mood lighting in my hotel room. As you do.

And then Conrad Veidt got in on the act…
