I had a bit of a rough morning and heading to see the girls and finding them with their faces painted was really something.

Scenes from the 2008 Facepainting convention

This is halfway through peeling of the face paint from the previous photo. You won't see the end photo, that'd just be normal.

Piss-off to the stupid black dot on my forehead, it's been there for years. The number of ' you have pen on your head' comments is frustratingly increasing.I think, after hours of contemplation, that it might have appeared after I scratched a mozzie bite to death when I was little. When I was that age I used to rub anything close at hand onto the bite, desperate that I might stumble upon a miracle cure for the itch. I might have dug permanent marker into the bite wound. Sound's like something I would have done. So yeah, home-job tattoo! Might just be some sun thing, who knows, just speculating.

I brought some mendhi design books with me, the high school girls really dug the arabic designs and I ended up doing a lot of designs on forearms.

My little sister decided she wanted to facepaint someone one day and I volenteered. When she'd gotten halfway she exclaimed: "Now I know what you're supposed to look like!" Can you guess what it was?
