It was fun, I felt shocking and glitzy. I haven't had the nerve to do it since, but I've kept the eyeshadow. I think makeup is sort of ceremonial -- why should it look "natural"? If I wanted to look natural, I'd wear untanned dog skin; ARTifice is part of the human condition. In some instances, makeup and all that stuff is an occasion for female bonding (like bars && locker rooms for men). Bicycle racers shave their legs. Ostensibly, it's to make bandaging easier when you fall down, but I think it's vanity really. Roger Hayes Tuscon, Arizona {ihnp4, ucbvax}!arizona!rogerh rogerh@arizona.csnet
