1986

Just look at that crucifix – it wasn’t so much spiritual as on sale in Miss Selfridge. I thought I was so outrageous! I remember despising the healthy glow of youth that shone through all the layers of make-up, and wishing I was much paler and a lot less freckled.

You see that eye make-up? That took time, man! I got up at the crack of dawn to achieve that startled panda look, and I’m not a crack of dawn sort of girl (even today). I truly believe that my youthful make-up excesses are the reason I am so good today at hiding my feelings. There’s no way you can afford tears, be them of mirth or sadness – with THAT much eyeliner and mascara.

Why am I showing this to you now? Well, i just found the power supply for my scanner… who knows what will turn up here next!

    Funny! Sure, there’s no way for tears whith so much eyeliner and mascara. Many, many years ago I used to did a kind of this make-up, too!

    You totally would have been like, the cool teenager in town if I was near you in 1986. I was born in 80 and I didn’t get to wear eyeliner during the 80’s.
