I filmed and it didn’t kill me

After calling my big brother and getting a pep talk to actually film I did it! Sometimes I will spend hours putting makeup and costume on, setting up my lights and camera and then just sit there exhausted and dispirited. First three pics are my tired victory poses before I wash all my rashes off and the last two are me in costume on my set!

I dunno why but I actually really like myself in terrible sores and boils, I think I look interesting. I wonder if one day blemishes will be a beauty trend. I’m so over glass skin. I have a prediction that powder makeup will be coming back soon. For those of you who don’t know, wet looking glassy skin has been in style in makeup for the past few years. BUT the mid 2000s is coming back which means fake tans and powder goth makeup!

Ps. Did you see what I did with my hair? I went with your advice and kept my hair dark. I got a wig so it was more theatrically styled and added a tiny top hat!

P.p.s I know you’ve found me passed out in the sawdust covered in makeup multiple times. Thank you for always cleaning my fur ♥️🐀
