This is what we did at school today. I was Mother Earth. There was Night Sky, a black and white cat, a girl with half her face like a geisha and the other half like a man. (I also did a couple of pedicures and a waxing, but this was fun.) The best part was walking home from school and seeing the looks of envy from the women who stopped me to find out how I did my make-up, and the chuckles of the guys who came up with all kinds of funny things to say. "Looks like you got in a fight with a line-backer and ended up with some of the football field on your face!" "Hey, you should really get that checked out!" "Getting ready for Halloween!" "Looks like a bird's nest ran into your face."
I thought they were clever. I started using them as explanations to the women I passed later on. "Well, Halloween coming, etc." But they didn't even listen, they just drooled. True? If you are a girl is there a little part in you that wants some glamorous make-up with jewels and tree branches stuck to your face? And if you are a guy, did you just think of an even better comment than the ones I got on the way home from school? (Another lesson we learn from this) - and guys, stop reading, this is girl talk now - I mean it, no peeking! (Okay, what we learn here women, is that guys really do notice when you put a lot of effort into your appearance. And they really do like the Natural Look. How many times have you heard guys say that they like The Natural Look. I had moss glued to my face and guys were talking to me and making me laugh, ... Downtown Red Deer a guy practically stopped traffic to have a friendly banter. Wait! I'm sorry, I just noticed a guy reading)
Stop it! This is a private Girl Conversation!
(Okay I'm back, the point is we should really be applying natural things to our faces if we want guys to notice us. Not just notice, but play and talk and make jokes ... make jokes ... about us?
Wait, maybe I should re-think this. I'll get back to you. We will continue this conversation!)

Ah ha! So that's what I've been doing wrong all these years... :)
Well, if you mean thinking guys meant conservative make-up was synonomous with the Natural Look - then I think yes, that's a mistake a lot of us have made.
You could start small and guys would respond. For instance, if you stuck something in your hair that you found outside on the ground - where it could be plainly seen. I bet you wouldn't go ten steps before a guy would stop and talk to you. Probably even about your hair accessory!
Let me know how it goes.
Wow. what an amazing natural look you've got there! It's no wonder you recieved so much attention for it. It's really well done. I can hardly tell where the make up ends and the accessories begin.
Sometimes I wish I could be a little insect like Fred that could fly around with you and watch all of these fun encounters that you have. I'm so glad you share them with us on you blog! Thank you Julie for brightening so many people's day!!
You're welcome!
I think I'll pass. :-D
I agree with Sharons comment. You did a fabulous job, but EDMONTON is not the place I want to be attracting the male attention. And especially not when I'm trying to get home. I've already got enough problems with stray animals trying to get into our house ( aka the fluffy cat next door)... hay I waan't thinking of those guys. get that thought out of your head this instant. They are children of God no matter how stray or astray they may be.
That was all just a joke. Don't take offense.
No offense taken, you are a gem!
