I’m a little bit late on this, but in following with Millie’s post on ‘No Makeup Week,’ I thought I would post my own picture.
On Friday, the day of this picture, I went to the dentist. The dentist’s assistant asked if I had the day off school. I’m pretty sure she meant high school. So I just said no, I had the day off work, and didn’t want to embarrass her further. At least I could still pass for a high school student in the movies, thus, I could still have a long, illustrious, and diverse acting career.
I often don’t wear makeup, and my skin doesn’t blemish too too often. I find when it does, that makeup just makes it more obvious that I’m trying to hide something. Sometimes I use makeup to brighten up my face or to finish off an outfit. I wear makeup when I have extra time after getting ready to work, and tend to think of it as a crafty artistic thing. But if I wear too much makeup I sometimes feel self-conscious, because people might notice and make a big deal of it. Kind of like you don’t want to get a drastic haircut and have everyone fuss over how different you look.

Always good to have a Plan B! As in, another plan, not as in the morning-after pill. Then again, it’s always good to have both.

Ah! Well said, I’d forgotten that feeling. I’d like to dress more adventurously, but I’m afraid people would make a fuss over it. I’d rather they… notice, but pretend not to notice?
Maybe I’d like them to notice, say something, but not fuss. The fuss sometimes kills the sincerity of the comment. I guess it depends who it is though, if it’s people you talk to very regularly and they mention the new look, looks good, fair enough.
