Make up

When I was younger (like 30+ years ago), I used to use conceller, foundation, eyeliner, mascara and lip stick. Sometimes I would redden my cheek bones with lipstick or blush. Sometimes my make up would be bought, sometimes a daughter might have gotten the wrong colour and gifted it to me (they were fussy) and at one stage a client (part time actress) gave me quite a bit of her surplus stock of Thin Lizzy. I did love "Natural Glow" as advertised by Suzanne Paul.

My skin is getting older and drier now, the makeup seems flatter and I'm wishing I still had a tub of Natural Glow to give a shine to my skin.

I don't wear much makup on most of my outings, a quick slap of foundation, mascara and lipstick. It's annoying my wife always calls me "panda eyes" when I try to remove the mascara. It's also annoying that my coffee girls know my order even if I turn up in "boy" mode a month after my last visit (as I found out after returning from Europe). I know I'm easily recognised in either mode, the wig doesn't throw anybody off.

Anyway, this hallow weekend was also a birthday party weekend, and I was tasked with getting the helium ballons and cake. Oh yes - no make up otherwise I would get questioned by 30 others once I got back home, but lets just say, some cars aren't made for 30 ballons, which was lucky as they are $2.5 each and took quite a while for staff to inflate. 

Imagine that, a crossdresser with a car chocka full of helium ballons

At the cake shop, the guy accidently put my phone to video mode - that created a scary video, so I'll just grab this image 😀

It didn't mean there's no time for coffee during the pick ups.

I did ask wife and kids if I should dress as a witch for halloween, they laughted and said - "already done that". 

One of the girls had a horrid run-in with a house owner, told my grandkid "his mum needs to kiss him for a lolly" - luckily my grandkid is smart and walked away. Maybe I could use my knuckes to "kiss him"?

Oh yes, the weathers improved and the sun has given us a bit of spring warmth, my grass seeds have been sown and a new layer of topdressing applied to the lawn, a new retaining wall is being built and I need to pick up more timber to complete it. 

Adding the photo, I should mention this tight top my wife discretely got for me is now in the bin. It was the biggest size in the shop.

Anyway - need more wood (and stainless screws, and cement) from the hardware.
