aruani mean, if i have to be stuck in a female body and acquiesce to my appropriate gender role, i might as well have a little fun.
which is where red silk Calvin Klein bras, obscenely low-cut mock Oxford shirts, high heel boots, and makeup come in. the former duo make me feel like a model walking down South Beach, all glamorous fashion plate and confidence. and the makeup, well, that's the perk i kinda secretly love about being a girl. all those tiny pots and tins and wands and compacts of pressed powder or liquid liner or two-in-one blush and eyeshadow make me giddy and adventurous. lip stuff in general, be it something completely vamp like black lipstick, totally girly like deep mauve Wet Shine, or as innocuous as minty lip balm, rocks my world. i'm a little fascinated by people's lips - it's the second feature i notice about a new person on first meeting. and glitter is just damn fun to experiment with wherever you're slathering it.
still haven't quite found the proper technique to putting on dark eyeshadow - i always end up looking vampy or like i got a shiner during a lunch fight at school. but it's something that nights like this lend themselves to, when all these fascinating little paints and varnishes come out to play and in the process serve as a reminder that being a female of the species affords me the luxury of not having to blush every time i stop at the Clinique counter and actually being able to parade my fun outside the closet.
