Woman's Work

I've tried to empathize with women in a number of ways throughout my life, but of course it's impossible to truly do so until you've been in their shoes.

More to the point; while gearing up in my female attire I was a bit confused as to which mask I'd use (it's either my liv mask or eyeless mouthless rubber-hood). I definitely wanted to wear a mask because a big part of my transformation into my female form is being able to change my face. Well, I chose the liv mask, but felt unsure as to how it would look in pictures. I was kind of afraid that it wouldn't be all that natural looking, because from wearing it in the past it has looked kind of awkward in the mirror.

While at the gym with my gf I was thinking about this issue and remembered that around the eye-holes in the mask there are dark areas. Shortly before we left I asked her if she could pick up some dark eye-makeup on the way home. She agreed and when we met back at our place I was largely concerned with getting all my gear together. While I was talc-ing up my catsuit and lubing down my gloves she was telling me about how she got me eye-shadow and eye-liner. I didn't pay much attention aside from being appreciative that she went and got the items for me.

After sealing the corset snugly around my mid-section I thought, 'Ok, lets quickly slap on this makeup and I'll put the mask on.' Well, I majorly underestimated the ease of putting on eye-makeup.

First I sat down in a chair while my gf stood over me holding what looked to be a thin marker. She asked me to try to keep my eyes half-open while she applied the eye-liner. The moment the applicator touched down I lost control of my eye-lids. It felt like she was trying to draw directly on my eyeball with a crayon or something. It was a most unpleasant experience and it ended up taking 10 or 20 minutes, because I was so unable to sit still. Once she sat back and decided it was 'good enough' we moved onto the eye-shadow.

By contrast the eye-shadow was a complete joy, but that had everything to do with the fact that it's applied crucial millimeters further away from my eyes.. and it's supposed to be done with the eyes closed, which made it infinitely more comfortable.

After everything was in place I was left with an intense urge wipe my eyes, but knew that I couldn't or else I'd have to get it all reapplied. So just from getting a tiny taste of what it's like to put on makeup I have a lot more respect for women.. however, this doesn't imply I necessarily respect women who do wear it, but I at least now have a slight idea of the discomfort involved.

So past all the unpleasantness I am quite pleased with the way that the eye-makeup looks with the mask.

My next make-up endeavor is probably going to be getting my eyelashes curled. Sounds fun!



-onto other business-
I'm planning out my next latex purchase and realized that I'm nearly tapped out in terms of fun-funds (my 'fun-fund' aka. fun'd is generally kind of small considering I'm a student. I typically have to give up most any other types of purchases, including food, in order to buy latex, but it's been worth it!). I also realized that keeping up this blog has been a lot more difficult and time-consuming than I had originally imagined, but it's still been a lot of fun.

Anyway, there are going to be big gaps in terms of pics between my purchases, just cause there isn't that much I can do with the stuff I already have. I mean, we'll see how inventive I end up getting, but there's only so much one can do with so little.

In light of these facts I've added a 'donations' button, which is off to the right. Although, I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea; it's not like this is the first step in making my page into a pay-site or anything, cause I do enjoy writing here. It's just that I was considering how often I buy rubber is proportionate to how much money I have available.

So if you're feeling especially giving or you're very displeased with the amount of rubber in my wordrobe (for whatever reason), then you can give it a click. I'd also like to point out that donations recieved will only go to rubber or fetish related purchases. (like you see below) =P

anyway, it was just a thought and I don't expect hardly any donations. However, I didn't want to be keeping anyone from making any either =P
