Maybe it's because I have never stepped foot in a casino nor am I legal age to do so, but I do not understand what element of your outfit violates any dress code (unless there's a rule against jewelry?).

They said it was because of the shorts, but my friend in the center of the picture wasn't spoken to, so I don't know... I showed my sister the picture and she said I looked hideous, though... must have been a violation of taste?
I'm not too bit into casinos either, so I'm not totally sure.

It may be that your shorts were too "casual"; the khakis that your friend was wearing appear slightly more formal.
Of course, it may be that your friend was overlooked.
Wearing two contrasting patterns (the "marble" shirt against the plaid shorts) often violates fashion norms, but it seems unfair to impose "taste" as a rule, as "taste" is not clearly defined and varies between cultures and regions.

Sometimes uglier than I think I really am (you know it's bad when people comment to your face that you don't photograph well

The only time I don't look awkward is when I am drunk. Come to think of it, that's about the only time I'm not socially awkward, either. I don't really drink anymore. Perhaps that is why I don't really have any friends anymore, either

Nevermind, I found one! I have a problem with having a little bit of a stone face. I wasn't unhappy when this photo was taken, but this is a good example of my "cold aspie stare" 
. It actually made me laugh when I found it, because I remember one of my friends saying something about how unsettling I looked in it, but I wasn't upset, honest.

You don't look unsettling at all. You look stunningly beautiful, intriguing and fascinating. You could play an angel in a movie, or an alien (this is a compliment
).I think you're really pretty too. You look like 7 of 9 from star trek voyager. She is supposed to be beautiful but she has trouble with social skills because she was assimilated into the borg as a child and only recently became a human and an individual again.

I am not mad or even irritated in this pic. It was so crowded people were literally on top of one another. This is my overstimulation face. Attractive, huh?

There were so many it was hard to choose which one, but I found this one particularly interesting (photo of myself from my high school formal) because (although many of them are subtle) it has several different "aspie markers" in it;
- Awkward, rigid posture/stance
- Gangly, not quite comfortable in my own skin vibe
- Attempt to smile for the camera coming across as more of a grimace
- Trying to make eye contact with the camera but not quite succeeding
- Impatience/disinterest in being photographed.

Oh my god that is an astounding dress..
Well if this thread is any indication, aspie girls are very attractive in their own right... Or no less vain than anyone else

I can't quite pin it, but actually, yes. You do have perfect hair, but I personally think on purely physical level, something just works.

I like the dress too. This is an older photo of me though, I picked it because it was more aspie-like than recent ones (I've gotten better at being photographed over time). I can be very vain at times, unfortunately. Before onset of bipolar I didn't give a stuff about what I looked like so I think my vanity is more related to bipolar than AS. I'm not super attractive, just normal I think.

I'm the one in front with my head down, staring at the pavement, shoes in hand as I tiptoe along. The woman behind me in the wedding dress? That's my mom. That was as much enthusiasm as I could muster for her wedding last year. Not my fault she invited so many people!

If you photograph better when drunk then photographing more poorly when you're sober is probably due to some sort of anxiety or multitasking issue. Are you generally "concentrating" when you're getting your photo taken? Self-conscious?

I'm the same way. When I'm sober, I'm uncomfortable posing for photos as nothing about a pose feels natural. I'm also acutely aware of my surroundings. When I've been drinking, my senses are dulled, and I suppose my defenses are similarly dulled/lowered.
