So, in keeping with my fascinations, I dress up each day the best I can and I do things that make me feel as if I could be Dolly Parton sittin on top of a cupcake with baby kittens. Yes. That was just said.
I fix my false eyelashes each day, put on red lipstain before bed and I am a believer in lipstick and Chanel No5.
Maybe this post sounds frivolous, I mean, my blog is about my art & life as an artist- but I think that as a woman, however you choose to, pampering yourself gives you so much confidence. I choose a rather traditional route for the most part, but I also LOVE collecting vinyl records & playing my guitar. Vinyl records are so special in my opinion, they have such a rich sound that CDs cannot replicate. As for my guitars- they literally make me so happy I could explode.
I believe that indulging yourself in things that make you happy each day keep you sane, personally they help with panic attacks, for others I know they just help remind the person that no matter what the day had brought into their life, there is always something nice & comforting to look forward to.
Maybe I sound like a feminist a bit, but that's okay by me. Make up should make you happy, it should not be a mask. Your hobbies should let you express yourself, not what society thinks a woman should be fascinated with. I've always had these strong views, and often wanted to turn them into art but I'm still letting the idea stew in my head until its good & ready.
So, the moral is, pampering I believe helps you be yourself & let's you figure out how to fly your own freak flag.
FYI: freak flags are the best.
Ps: making weird faces is also one of my hobbies.
