Putting my face on

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I saw Alicia S in person once and was shocked because she had terrible cystic acne. As bad or worse as I've had it at various times in my life. What a make-up artist and photoshop session can do for a face is creeeeeeeeeeeeepy.

And, if your a celebrity, fortunate. Though I remember reading an article where Sarah Michelle Gellar mentioned a fan approached her to say, "Wow, you look much better on TV." That's gotta suck donkey balls.

I hate putting myself together. I get really stressed out by having to dress up, coordinate jewelry, do my make-up and hair, etc. So I'm as minimal as possible. Jeans and sweaters on most days. Cover-up for some spot hiding.

I suppose I look better with mascara and lipstick and contact lenses, etc. but I feel on display when I go all out and not at all in a good way. I guess once in a while it's fun to do something extra but I couldn't do it all on a day to day basis. I honestly think women who do look fabulous. If I had a face and bod like Dita, I'm sure I'd want to revel in it. But mostly I don't want people to pay that much attention to me.
