Old dogs listen up! New tricks can be learned! It takes an extra bit of effort, but it’s worth it. I think that beauty is mysterious but fair mistress, and the more you do to keep her, the longer she will stay. There’s a myth that beauty is pain, a harsh dominatrix who desires nothing but your suffering to sate her perverted desires. She wants your blood, your hunger, your money and she gives you back the empty pleasure of your vanity – but I realize that this is not a true being. There is no evil queen, no sleep inducing poison apple, no one is the fairest of all and that’s not the way beauty is. Beauty is more like a friend who has some conditions on the friendship, so not a true real deep friend, more of a shallow one. Like “you give me a ride to the airport, I will pick you up at the airport” kind of buddy. You wash your face at night, I won’t make your face erupt in adult acne in the morning. You use toner on your t-zone, I won’t aggravate your combination skin. You find the right color of lipstick, I will make valet parking attendants bring your car up around first and give it to you for free (of course I insisted on paying – but such is the strength of knowing your own colors). My mother first informed me of the idea that beauty was pain, as she plucked her own thickly natural eyebrows into the hard, 70s spare lines of the era. “Beauty is pain” she said blankly, as her black eyebrow hairs seemed to turn brown because of the redness of her angry skin underneath her ineffectual Maybelline tweezers. This was a time before Tweezerman and Shu Uemera before we could really pluck those tiny hairs in microscopic earnest. I believed her and ruthlessly tried to avoid beauty for much of my young and then adult life. I am not a masochist. I don’t want pain. And therefore, beauty and I are incompatible. I no longer believe this to be true. To be beautiful is actually to be aware of yourself as art, and to frame your art in a way that is unique to yourself and easy to yourself and fun to yourself. We are just masterpieces waiting to be framed and mounted and lighted then worshipped. We are worth this, as we are more priceless than anything. In the last few months I have been practicing this “myself as art” theory, and I have seen a marked improvement in areas that needed a boost, and it hasn’t cost me any more money really. It’s an investment in time, but not a lot, and it’s helped me feel good about myself, which is all we really need on earth, to feel good. To not have dread when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror – which I would do – I would actually feel horror at my own reflection, wishing myself a vampire, wishing myself undead so I would have to endure the image of my ugliness. I don’t feel ugly anymore, and no one has called me that in a very long time (believe me I used to hear it often, maybe more than once a day – seriously!). I am editing my closet and makeup drawers. I am wearing what is attractive on me on my face and body and really only that. Everything I have – its sole purpose is to flatter me, and if it doesn’t, it’s gone. Into a pile that might hopefully flatter someone else, out of my life to welcome another jacket/boot/shirt/scarf/lipstick/eyelash that will realize my beauty further. Make everything work in concert to bring out the beauty in you. Old dogs are the best at learning new tricks because we have been through it all, we know who we are, we know all about it. Some youtube videos are excellent tutors and teachers. My favorite - Catalina is a genius. She’s Korean and probably could be my daughter. She’s lovely and so smart and also has great tips for skincare. We have similar skin. I have learned a lot from her especially regarding sensitive skin and how to do my eye makeup. I love these girls – Korean too! park and cube - gorgeous style, photographs – and also Shini is very funny. She’s amazing. She looks like she could be in my family also – there’s a striking familial familiarity. I love her posts. This blog – Luxirare - is also exceptional – in so many ways. I am obsessed with Ji Kim’s design and her cooking and I want everything she posts – either to eat or to wear. I am constantly floored by the creativity of people, and the art which they choose to make from their lives. This blog is really a lesson in how we can live, how we should live – what is possible. We should live every moment like this. I plan to.

Stari psi slušajte! Novi Ukoliko se može naučiti! Potrebno je dodatno malo truda, ali to je vrijedno toga. Mislim da je ljepota tajanstvena, ali pošteno ljubavnica, a više radite na njoj zadržati, više ona će ostati. Postoji mit da je ljepota bol, oštra domine koja želi ništa, ali vaše patnje joj zasititi perverzne želje. Ona želi svoju krv, glad, svoj novac, a ona vam daje natrag prazan zadovoljstvo taštine - ali shvaćam da to nije istina biće. Nema zla kraljica, nema spavanja izazivanja otrov jabuka, nitko je najljepša od svih, a to nije način na koji je ljepota. Ljepota je više kao prijatelj koji ima neke uvjete o prijateljstvu, tako da ne pravi stvarnom duboke prijatelju, više plitke jedan. Kao "Možete li mi dati vožnja do zračne luke, ja ću po tebe u zračnu luku" vrste prijatelj. Vi opere lice noću, neću učiniti vaše lice izbiti u odraslih akni ujutro. Možete koristiti tonik na svom t-zoni, neću pogoršati vaše mješovitu kožu. Možete pronaći pravu boju ruža, učinit ću parkiranje s poslugom polaznici bi vaš automobil oko prvog i dati vam besplatno (naravno sam inzistirao na plaćati - ali kao što je snaga znajući svoje boje). Prvi Moja majka me je obavijestio o ideji da je ljepota je bol, jer je čupao vlastite gusto prirodne obrve u teškim, 70s rezervne linije ere. "Ljepota je bol", rekla je ravnodušno, kao što joj crne obrve dlake činilo da se smeđa zbog crvenila svog ljutog kožu ispod nje neučinkovitih Maybelline pinceta. To je vrijeme prije Tweezerman i Shu Uemera prije nego što smo stvarno mogli iščupati one sitne dlačice na mikroskopskoj ozbiljno. Sam je vjerovao i nemilosrdno pokušao izbjeći ljepotu mnogo moje mlade i odrasle života. Nisam mazohista. Ne želim bol. I zato, ljepota i ja nespojivi. Ja više ne vjerujem da je to istina. Biti lijepa je zapravo biti svjestan sebe kao umjetnost, a da se uokviriti umjetnost na način koji je jedinstven za sebe i jednostavan za sebe i zabavno za sebe. Mi smo samo remek čekaju da se uramljena i montirati i upaljene onda klanjali. Mi smo vrijedno toga, kao što smo mi više od ičega neprocjenjivo. U posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci sam trenirao ovo "ja kao umjetnost" teoriju, a vidio sam značajno poboljšanje u područjima koje je potrebno potaknuti, a to mi nije koštati više novca zapravo. To je ulaganje u vremenu, ali ne puno, a to je pomoglo da se osjećam dobro o sebi, što je sve što stvarno trebate na zemlji, da se osjećate dobro. Da ne imati strah kada sam uhvatiti pogled sebi u zrcalu - što ću učiniti - Ja bih zapravo osjećam užas na moj vlastiti odraz, želeći si vampir, želeći sebe undead, tako da ću morati izdržati sliku moje ružnoće. Ne osjećam se ružno više, a nitko me nije pozvao da se u jako dugo vremena (vjerujte mi ja se to često čuje, možda i više od jednom dnevno - ozbiljno). Ja sam uređivanje mom ormaru i šminkanje ladice. Ja sam nosio ono što je privlačno na mene na mom licu i tijelu, a zapravo samo to. Sve što sam - njegova jedina svrha je da mi laskati, a ako se to ne dogodi, to je nestalo. U hrpu da bi mogli nadamo ravniji netko drugi, iz mog života za doček još jakna / boot / majica / šal / ruž / trepavica koji će ostvariti svoje ljepote i dalje. Učiniti sve što je rad na koncertu da izvedeš ljepotu u vama. Stari psi su najbolji na učenje novih trikova, jer smo kroz sve to, mi znamo tko smo, znamo sve o tome. Neki YouTube videa su izvrsni učitelji i nastavnici. Moja omiljena - Catalina je genij. Ona je korejski i vjerojatno bi mogla biti moja kći. Ona je lijepa i pametna, a također ima velike savjete za njegu kože. Imamo sličnu kožu. Naučila sam puno od nje pogotovo glede osjetljivu kožu i kako da radim svoj make up na oči. Volim te djevojke - Korejski previše! park i kocka - prekrasna stil, fotografije - i Shini je jako smiješno. Ona je nevjerojatna. Ona izgleda kao da bi mogao biti u mojoj obitelji i - tu je upečatljiv obiteljska prisnost. Volim svoje postove. Ovaj blog - Luxirare - je izuzetna - u tako mnogo načina. Ja sam opsjednut Ji Kim dizajn i njezina kuhanje i želim sve što ona postove - bilo da jede ili nositi. Ja sam stalno Stisnuo je kreativnost ljudi, i umjetnosti koji su odlučili napraviti od svojih života. Ovaj blog je zapravo lekcija kako se može živjeti, kako bismo trebali živjeti - ono što je moguće. Trebamo živjeti svaki trenutak kao što je ovaj. Planiram.
