9 56 pm pst [ soft skin ]
Today I played with my
Amazon.com wish list and made it publically viewable.
On returning from lunch today I spotted this festively decorated Jacaranda
tree. It was a little pathetic looking. Though I love it, there is
somthing a little sad about our 85 degree Christmases here in Southern
California. The warm weather is wonderful, as is the spirit of Christmas,
but the sparkly red and green decorations pitted against blue sky and palm
trees instead of snow just looks silly sometimes. Perhaps I should have
tried to experience one real New York Christmas before running back to
sunny California.
I was hoping that if I continued to write random facts
an entry idea would come to me when I heard this commercial:
You can fight wrinkles or you can fight tone, texture,
splotches, and wrinkles.
Excuse me? You're going to "cure" my skin tone and
texture. I like my skin with tone and texture. In fact, I like my skin
with my tone and texture.
This disgust has been a long time coming. On Halloween I wore foundation make-up
for the first time in my life. It was an experiment which I obviously
should have performed a decade ago, but what can I say?
When I finally looked in the mirror, I realised what
the foundation was doing. I was removing the contrast in my skin. I was
taking my natural variations in coloring and coating them with a solid.
I don't want to pretend to be one color. I am not one
color. I have texture and tone and I'm not quite sure why anyone would
want to fight that.
