Paint Me
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Just listening to classical music and reminiscing about the time when we put on a school production with music from Tchaikovsky, Mozart and one other musically geniustic (new word coined, kon!) guy who I've forgotten. It was the first time I could remember ever putting face paint on.

I always had this thing about face paint. The thought of putting paint on my face to the point of being unrecognisable really did my head in as a kid. I can now identify what it was that I didn't like about it and it was because I didn't like the idea of people seeing me as something I wasn't, getting pre-conceived ideas of who I am. It unnerved me to think people would have expectations of me because of the way I looked or was, expectations I wouldn't be able to uphold when the paint came off.

I think that's partly why I have this thing about make-up as well. I don't wear it. I can count on one hand the times I've worn any sort of make-up product. This excludes nail polish and lip gloss (transparent yo). I didn't want people to get used to seeing me all 'dolled up', for them to think that that was me. (Not to mention I'd be too lazy to keep that up anyway. Hah!)

Tis' a phobia of sorts ne?

Ah well. I'm aware of it and can now get over it.
