in fact
Donna and I have been talking for a while
& I think we've identified each other
as having similarities
we both have red hair
we're both
KINDA
not
very
girlie
she does have a kid though
& three grandkids
we've been talking politics
the pandemic LOCKDOWN affected us both
pretty hard
in fact
I guess we first started talking
when she had her show at archway
that was all stuff she did
in LOCKDOWN
I bought a couple works on paper
& she had more she said
I could look at
she's about fifteen years older than me, I think
she's had some aging stuff
that KINDA
took her by surprise
I think
with her bones
I was talking to her
about all the things I'm trying
to mitigate damage
I expect to have
she asked me
what makeup I had worn last time
I looked pretty tired today
BUT
I'd looked great last time
I found this
SO FUNNY
I can remember a time
when that would have offended me
I'm LIKE
I'm wearing basically the same thing today
BUT
I was better rested
& wearing concealer
I told her all the stuff
the concealer isn't really concealer
it's tarte Amazonian clay 16hr full coverage
I use that if I need coverage anywhere
the rest is light reflective pigment
which I love
I think it looks more natural
it might not
I might look like a f*CKing light bulb
it doesn't really matter
I project whatever
I FEEL like
I do it for ME
NOBODY really
LOOKS at you
they just
FEEL
your
VIBE
I mean they MIGHT see you
BUT
it's really not that common
at least it seems that way to me
