Fun in theater class

it being finals week, my theater class had a nice little day off to study. and, i having studied enough to make my head pop, got bored. now, here's where i made my first mistake: i told lily, one of my many theater groupies, to do my makeup. and here's where i made my second mistake: i told her to "improvise".
as a bit of background, we were in the boy's dressing room in our theater room (aka "black box"), which has in stock a plethora of stage cosmetics. if you don't already know, stage makeup is the greatest, nastiest stuff you will ever encounter. it's like halloween face paint, only greasier and with more staying power. gotta love it.
so, using a book of stage makeup ideas as her inspiration, lily set to work turning me into a lady from the "reconstruction era"... you know, powdered face, thin, dark eyebrows, big pink spots of blush, drawn-on beauty marks, bright pink lipstick...the works. i must say, i looked pretty snazzy. AND i went around like that ALL DAY. it was quite invigorating :]
i have yet to find out how to get pictures off a cell phone and onto a blog, but here's something that might give you an idea of what i looked like:



yeah. a freakin MIME.

only more colorful.
and with out the crying. :]

onna different note, I HAVE CONQUERED MY ENGLISH EXAM! FWAH! TAKE THAT, FAULKNER!!
though, in retrospect, i find that i actually ENJOYED the book. understood, no. liked studying, no. enjoyed, yeah! i just wish i had more time to read it again. mayhap i'll check it out from the library...which reminds me, i STILL have to return "Les Miserables" and "Pride and Prejudice" to the library :P...note to self....

ah, yes, here we go:



now, just insert that face on a gorgeous female such as myself, and, well, there ya go!
