And the alien did decree: Still hopeful
Thought I'd come back on a different device,
I need fake eyelashes for the female. Along with her paintjob, I've gotten black-dot tattoos to make for 'moles'/'freckles'. They're terrifying as masks.. I have a lot work work to do before my costumes and their backdrop is set up. I keep getting asked by friends, "How would your family react to [the fake news project]?" I keep picturing this going badly, no matter how well/how unnoticed this project ends up. My family just doesn't get that I have a theatrical side. Actually.. scratch that. They don't understand ANYTHING I happen to do.. so..(?) {{I mean, these ARE the people who almost had me committed for doing my own microbraids. Just because I'm white doesn't mean i did that out of insanity. Naitive.. maybe. Insanity? Not even a wee bit. I was completely sane about it.. just had had terrible timing (this had been in the midst of Black Lives Matter..). When I'd done it a second time, this also being prime BLM days, I was much more aware of how socially faux-pas-y I was being. It wasn't insanity; the first try was very innocent, the second was just me trying to get good at the technique. When it comes to microbraids.. would I do them again? Likely -- I have a whole box of the hair. Would I be so flip about doing it my third time? No. I would be much more mindful of the fact that being white and doing this (even though I was directed to many helpful tips by some legit young black women), and that me wearing them is highly offensive to many.}} .. but anyway. About the masks.. The male mask came in wrong. I have opened a dispute with the seller, and intend to use the mask I have in the meantime. I see that the seller has ignored my little "Hey" message to ask if I was sent the wrong item. I'll either get a refund, or maybe the seller will get in gear and send me the proper one. ((Judging from reviews, I should have read the reviews.. it looks like this seller had a habit of this shite..)) The female mask came more or less as advertised. I have dreams of spicing her face up with a little paint for makeup. (I see the recipe for this online is naptha, oil paint, and rubber cement.. this will be $40-60 adventure...) I mentioned I planned to get costume eyelashes, I think..? After a bit of a makeover, they'll be ready for demo testing. I just need to work on the background-area I've dug out of my room. First, I need a real big, boring bedsheet. Then, I'll need a goodly sized green paper to tag on the sheet, to make it have a 'spot' to place pics/video media I end up showing as part of my gig. I'm still hopeful my draglife will take off. I need to define my persona more... |
