Get the tomatoes ready!!!

I think I'm about to lose my mind in business busyness busy-ness(?!) Anyhoo, still have to finish my costume... Aaaarrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Artsy Gal and I got together the other night to "play" with makeup. Something I never got to do in my teenage years. On a daily basis, I wear very minimal amounts of makeup. In fact, I didn't start wearing makeup until my 20's. I was fortunate enough to have a blemish free complexion, AND I was just lazy and not girly girl enough.

Fast forward to late 20's. Welcome zits and pimples!!! WTF? So yeah, around that time is when I dipped my toes into the cosmetics pool.

Back to the other night... Let's just say, unless you look like a complete drag queen, you don't have enough makeup on for a stage performance (supposedly.) I had 2 sets of fake eyelashes on, eyeliner, shadow stick, powder shadow on top of that, then glitter dust all over. My eyes had an reaction much like rejection of a transplanted organ. I said to my eyes, "Stop it! Suck it up!! I know chemicals are invading you, but please work with me!! I don't have time for all this crying!" We came to an understanding, I think. T minus 4 days until performance night...

Nothing to report on the boys front. I've been way too busy to have any downtime. Even so, I manage to have moments where I feel lonely. How awesome would it be to have a supportive boyfriend? One that would be at my performance. Listen to all the bitching about how busy I am, but still wraps his strong arms around me and kisses me, in that "it'll all be ok" kind of way. *sigh* Yeaaaaaahhh... Anyway...

I'm going to try and make it to Sasha Manuel's Kickboxing class tonight. I need to get myself firm-afied, then head home to sew some more. I will have so much more time and less stress after this weekend. Can't. Wait.

The first time I 'experimented' with eyeshadow, I was 13 and I put it beneath my eyes because I remembered it wrong. I'm still laughing about it.

Support from a loved one is huge when you have an event, but a circle of good friends can definitely be a wonderful experience. Where is your performance?

len: That's hilarious and sounds amazing painful! From your pic, your eye is beautiful naked, I'm sure.

SGB: I definitely have a very close circle of friends that will be there. There's just something different with, ya know, THAT loved one. (It's uhhh, in Cali...) ;o)

It's the idea of that supportive boyfriend is what keeps most peopel going. You have to keep reminding yourself that he's out there.
