Birthday and Contests

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 7, 2010, 8:15 AM

What's new in the world of Magnus Roth

My birthday is coming up, 32 years. Time just flies by.
To honor this occasion I’ve grown a beard (malicious gossip has it that I was to lazy to shave in the first three days, which I completely deny). Lilly says it makes me look way older now (or maybe she just said “old”, I mentally blocked that part of our conversation out of my memory).
Well, my new facial appearance will be featured in one of the upcoming deviations in the next weeks, so you can decide that for yourself when you see it.


I recently entered two contests here on dA, the "Glamour Contest" from #votre-charme
and the “Nude vs. Prude” mini-competition from #PortraitClub.

I was asked by ~mikegoulty, the founder of #PortraitClub if I would like to feature the winners of their competition in my journal. I decided to feature the winners of both contests (why just feature one group of talented deviants when I could feature two? ;-) ). I did not know that I would be part of the winners in either competition when I decided to do that, but of course, that’s a very cool bonus. :dance:

Thank you very much! :aww: :hug:
I think it’s completely normal when Lilly teases me with my age, after all she is 11 years younger than me. When I was 21, I occasionally made fun of my older friends too when their birthdays came around. ;)
And I am totally comfortably with my (soon) 32 years. It took me awhile to get where I am now, and I was never happier. And I neither feel or think that I’m getting old. Quite the opposite. :)
