can't find a picture of FFIL

warning: this is longer than it needs to be.our program booklet has pictures of everyone in it. VIP's, parents, grandparents,bridal party... etc. instead of just naming them. just little 1-inch square pictures. everyone's thrilled about it, feels special, blah blah blah.we cant find a picture of FFIL. fi barely sees him, to be fair, but even his 3 sisters who are fairly close with him dont have a single picture. and he keeps telling us he doesnt have one. (not online, not on paper, not a single existing picture of himself ever.) bull, so obviously he just doesnt like photos of himself. fiiiiiine.but now we have pictures of everyone, which we dont want to scrap, (too much work has been done already plus everyone else loves it) but it might look weird if we just have nis name there underneath everyone else's pictures.would it be ok to have a little MS paint, cartoon picture that we draw of him there? do you think it would offend anyone? because we kind of think it would be hilarious, and im running out of time to print these stupid booklets.

  • Just skip it.  I think the cartoon would be more awkward than the blank.

    Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
  • Does he live nearby?  Could you go take one really quick?  Or would that be awkward?I think the MS Paint is funny, but most of my relatives would be annoyed about it.  You know your crowd better than we do.

  • Can't he take a picture of himself? If he doesn't live nearby he can e-mail it. If he does live nearby, can't someone go snap a photo? What about using a fancy looking Monogram instead if you can't get one?Also, asked this in the other thread but you might have missed it. What happened with your dress situation?

  • Can you (or did you already) ask him to suck it up and take one damn picture for his son's wedding? Just this once? Otherwise I'd probably just leave it blank with no Paint pic.  I think he should suck it up and take a pic quickly for you.  OR maybe he's a vampire and he doesn't show up on film.
  • Koopa- a sly way to test this would be to first see if he has a reflection in the mirror.

  • So true, throwing garlic at him would also be an indicator.  If he doesn't provide a pic in time for the wedding, I suggest you research this theory, Sooles.
  • yeah unfortunately he lives nowhere near us so we cant take the pic ourselves, and every time we ask him to take a picture he changes the subject and doesnt want to talk about it. im assuming he just hates pictures of himself because he wont explain. but dude come on its like, less than a square inch... its so tiny. come on. and jasmine, i sort of fixed it. good enough to wear for an hour or two anyway, before i switch into my blue dress. at least my boobs no longer look lopsided in it! pics of both dresses in my crappy almost-bio.

  • From the pictures, I can't see anything wrong with it. P.S. One of the kids I work with is going to be Luigi for Halloween, but he said I can't be Mario because I'm a girl. haha

  • Yeah, if he is being difficult you can either tell him to put on his big boy pants, or just leave it blank. Or, like I said, maybe a fancy "S" (or whatever his last initial is)...or a picture of Bowzer.

  • please! girls can be boys for halloween. last year i was robin (from batman) and this year im going to be link from legend of zelda...
  • Can someone snap a quick pic of him with a camera phone? If not, then list him as not pictured. Don't do a cartoon.
  • Oh my god, look how cute you are with your nintendo invites and your fluffy blue dress! AND you're going to be Link for halloween.  You are good stuff!
  • I skipped two weeks of U.S. history to beat the first Zelda on my NEX. I also have three freckles that make a perfect triangle. Yesterday, FI was like "The Triforce!!"Sooles, if you weren't already married I think I'd be courting you.

  • jasmine - you've got 16 days to win me over!koopah - dont you worry, i will be AW'ing halloween pictures.  
  • I'd put something like a silhouette with "Photo missing" or "camera shy" in the pic square. Or something even more funny, like the cartoon. But maybe that's just me. I can picture how someone else would get mad about it.
