Well, I don't know about you but Mondays are crap. Generally. Certainly this one has run true to form. Things that cheer me up on Mondays would include cake (I've had scones - they sort of count), watching good TV (last week's Arrow will do nicely) and, obviously, beautiful girls. Particularly if the aforementioned beautiful girls are smiling.
Now, I love pouting girls, smirking girls, scowling girls and girls who look at you with that curiously appealing mixture of disdain and pure animal lust. But on a Monday, it has to be smiling girls. Allow me to share...
Fellow Brit @miss_smiff has a simply gorgeous smile. (She also likes to bake. See my reference to cakes earlier.) This shot is taken from her set in MR. Both it and she are awesome and well worth checking out. (I can't testify as to the quality of the baking, but I'd wager it's awesome too... :) )
This is @atlasaddams. I love this kind of smile - natural, unforced. She's not sharing the joke, but she doesn't have to. The smile itself is more than enough. Again, there's a set in MR you might want to check out...
Now that is a smile. This shot is taken from @lady_'s set in MR. There's lots more smiling in it, too. Feel the warmth... :D
Take @gemmaedwardsuk, a beautiful model (@siobhand), the Cornish coastline and this is what you get! Awesome! (I get the distinct impression that photographer and model had a lot of fun on this set...)
I've saved the best till last (although, if anything, @Roz's profile pic is even better than this, smile-wise). Roz is a photographer as well as a model and her blog is really interesting and well worth a follow. She has a set in MR and what comes through in both her pics and her blog posts is how fun and positive she is. Reading her blog is like, I don't know, taking a bath in sunshine. Again, you should check her out.
Is that enough smiling to banish the Monday blues? I don't know. It's worked for me. All the girls above have sets in MR and they are, in my humble opinion, worth looking at if you haven't done so already. Thanks to them and their hard-working and creative photographers for cheering me up so effectively today! :)
