Pretty Me Pretty You

Original Title : Evcilik
Artist : İzlem Genç
Painted by : Yip

True story of the photo : Me and İzlem were in a village called Kozlu last week. There exists a cinema academy which İzlem attented for their 'creative producing' course and I went for holiday. We were having breakfast and dinner at the garden with an open kitchen, and one night we found these pair of seats at the corner. It felt like someone was punished and somebody made him/her sit like that; face towards the wall. And İzlem decided to shoot a photo of me while sitting there. But the little lamp on the wall was making a disturbing flicker, so I borrowed Nil's sweater in order to cover it. It was a bit high, and we all know that I'm short...so I was rising on my fingertips and İzlem just shot this one. Yes, it's me :)

My story for the photo : Yip was a tiny little baby when she was born. By saying tiny, we really mean tiny. And also she was really dark, but as she grew up, her color became normal (after a few days as they say). She was a very cute little girl, until her 6. After that age, she started to think that she has nothing to do with beauty but she was smart (she still is!). All through her elementary school years, she kept believing that she was ugly. Although having a boyfriend -even at pre-school!- she never stopped thinking like that. Then she went to middle school and her mind didn't change. But...as she became a high school student, everything changed. She started to look better, even though she had brackets on her teeth, she was pretty at last! And her college years were really so good, she was very very very very dressy. It was unbelievable but she really was...and she was upsetting male kind...so much. Thing she was doing never been on purpose, but somehow she was always making them sad. She was harsh ok, and not so romantic in daily basis but so what?!!!! Then she fell deeply in love..eh, she gained a little weight after the first year of her relationship, because 'the boyfriend' was making her to eat pizza kind of food everyday :) People say that she made him unhappy from time to time after their on-going relationship but he pulled her down too!!!! Then, as she moved to Istanbul and started to work, she gained a lot weight (and also some medicines that she had to use helped this) and she again stopped to liking herself. But, a few months ago, something happened. Nobody knows what is that, but she now looks better. We guess she grew up, accepted that she's not a child but woman, and her look deals out with that but no one knows the exact reason...And also, now she makes male kind happy again, she is still not that romantic in common understanding but she has her own ways to show her love yani! To summarize, Yip's journey...snail to skouliki, skouliki to butterfly....:)))
