OLD BLOG: Tour Blog 15: make-up

October 10, 2007

I overheard one of the girls saying that sometimes she has a bad dream in which she's getting ready for a show, she doesn't have make-up, and her hair is all messed up.
Now this girl isn't the most made-up person I've ever known, but as far as I know I haven't seen the actual skin on her face, even when we have an early morning bus call. (Of course, maybe I'm too tired to pay attention to her. I often try not to pay attention to her or the other girls.) I realize that make-up is necessary for a show, so you don't look washed out. But it seems to me that she might have nightmares like that about everyday life: having to go be somewhere in public without make-up or good hair...or the right bra.
This particular girl seems to wear a pretty serious bra. It looks like it's holding things up and giving them a fuller shape. Now I haven't seen her breasts, so maybe they are shaped like that, and maybe they do sit up there on her chest like that. But I kind of doubt it. Oh yeah, and she's serious about the eye-brow shaping. I bet she would have some really beautiful, full eyebrows if she'd just leave them alone. But as things are, they look just a little too sculpted for me.
I guess what I’m saying is, this girl seems to epitomize the crazy "girls have to look a certain way" thing that our society puts out there and which I find very unappealing.
