DEAR HARRIETTE: I went to an event the other day – for the first time in nearly two years – and I saw some people I know there. One friend posted pictures from the event on social media. She included several shots of me that simply are not flattering. She caught me in one shot where my butt is up in the air. I think I was leaning down to pick something up off the floor. In another shot, I’m eating food and you can see me chewing. And in another, I just don’t look good. I can’t imagine why she would have chosen these shots. All the pictures of her look great. I’m thinking she didn’t look closely at the ones of me. I want to ask her to take down my pictures. Do you think that’s going too far? – No More Photos
