You know, I sent the picture to the woman who sold me the stuff (who's really a sweetie) and she actually told me, "Please don't wear that cap outside the house!" :-)
I just saw a survey on whatjapanthinks about what the dead giveaways for female otaku are, and one was "going OUT ON THE STREET without MAKEUP omg!!!" (not verbatim, but it did definitely have a scandalized tone to it). Gosh, I'm marked for life, I guess.
Hee! I mean, I wear a little, but I'm not going to think about putting some on if I'm running out for groceries--and to listen to a couple of my Japanese friends, they wouldn't even do that without makeup. (Then again, neither would some of my Southern-lady-type relatives. Fine, pass the trowel over to them...)
When I was about 15, my stepmom's sister-in-law came to visit. She was a pro makeup artist, and she asked if I'd be willing to let her slather makeup on me. I agreed (not without some trepidation), and then three hours later she was done, and it was in fact rather amazing to see that my nose was not visible if you looked at me face-on. Of course, once I turned my head to the side, there it was...!
It seems to me that life's just too short for that much vanity.
Hey ... how come American Disneyland did not have this wonderful chapeau for us to buy & wear whilst we were in their parks?!? Hmmmm???? I would've worn mine all day! ;-)
