Blushing - I Have Posted In Every Vocal Community

Introduction

In the post at the end of this, I initially thought I had covered every Vocal Community with my writing but there were six that I had not touched, so I thought it would be a challenge to, so to speak, complete the set. This is post 799 so the next one may be a little special.

The song is "Blush" by Plumb

This post in the Vocal Blush Community means I have posted in every Vocal Community.

The Blush Mission Statement is as follows:

Inner beauty is great, but a little mascara never hurt. Skincare, hair, makeup, body, and tutorials. Blush is for all things beauty.

I Am Blushing

I am a man and don’t normally wear make-up. I have had my face painted as you can see in the picture I have used to lead this article.

Most of the women I know wear make-up often but are not slaves to it, and several men I know are very good with it too.

When I get up my first thing is to shave and hope I don’t cut myself too badly so I don’t need plasters. When I had ITP (see the article at the end of this if you want to know about ITP it was the scariest time of my life) I had to grow a beard because if I cut myself the bleeding didn't stop, and that is not good for any creature.

My Skin Care

By the time you read this, I will probably be 65. I have a lot of physical problems one of which is dry skin, so every day after I have shaved I then use E45 moisturiser on my feet and shall we say the lower parts of my anatomy plus any dry skin. I then use Bulldog for my face, and a lot of people say that I still look rough and way older than my age, but I can walk ten miles a day (though not always) so I am reasonably fit but still fat.

The thing is after my shaving, and showering with various gels and shampoos then I apply the moisturisers and that is it for me. Although most women don't have to shave their faces (unless there is something society isn’t telling me) all the face cream, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and the precise application of all that to the facial area is something I would find difficult to come to terms with.

I think I would look a bit like Robert Smith make-up-wise, but I am obviously not handsome, and he is.

So while I think women look fine without make-up, I am also very impressed with the transformations that they can make using these various facial and skin adornments.

Back to the Bowie / Ziggy Stardust flash that was something someone else did at a David Bowie tribute night, and not something I could ever do myself, but again, there are people who can do it themselves.

Would I do it today? Of course.

Would people laugh at me? Definitely.

Would I care? Not at all.

Concluding This Blush Piece

I cannot recommend anything but that Bulldog Facial cream, which a friend once remarked made me look really young (think he needed to visit Specsavers), and I use an Argan Oil Shampoo alternating with an Aldi Kangaroo Paw Flower shampoo, which keeps my hair in reasonably good condition.

Someone once said I would be bald by forty, and I wouldn’t have a problem with that, though it was meant as an insult, but girls think that bald men are sexy. I have hair, so I am not.

So that’s about it, this means I have posted in every Vocal community.

Anyone could do that with forty posts, but this is post 799 of mine, so it is about time I did this.

This is the post that inspired this.
