Keeping the tradition, still winter, so this week I felt like going back to reds. I found this burgundy red at Sally's, it is a deep burgundy, very elegant, you can dress it up or dress it down. Very thick, though easy to apply with it's wide application brush. These are 3 coats over the primer and base coat, to finish it of, it has a Seche Vite fast drying top coat.
Hand holding the bottle has direct sunlight, 3 fingers and toes have ambient light on them.
good blog Gustavo. I'm also one that wants to break down the gender binary bias since it's based on non rational thought, and really does keep all people from just being who they are and expressing what makes them happy. why more feminists have not seen this to be a barrier to their goals is a wonder to me.
ReplyDeletewomen wear color and polish because mainly it's fun if they like it. some women don't. but they have the option to wear or not. culture gives men no option for that lest they be thought less than. that is wrong for no discernable reason. and on so many levels if especially women would think about that for a moment. so if women like color, why would anybody assume that men wouldn't or don't either? that they don't wear color is more about their fear of not being accepted. that too is weird because the culture also says men should be fearless and independent, yet then does just the opposite to convince them not to be.
the visceral reaction to males wearing nailpolish is waaayyy out of proportion to objectively it simply is. it's paint, applied to a body, as a splash of color on an otherwise drab canvas. much like a tattoo, yet easily removed or changed at will, which makes more sense to me than a tattoo ever will. I don't have a tattoo.
I do however wear nailpolish, openly, on my toes. not my fingernails as I'm really hard on my hands and would trash them quickly, and trashed art looks good on nobody. I'm a 58 yo straight, married fellow, 3 kids, and couldn't care less what other people think. as life has proved, someone somewhere will always find something to criticize or find fault with you, but they have no more validity for their views than you do for yourself. so be happy, do what makes you happy, especially when it harms no one else. at the very least you'll be more fun to be around. never fear what anyone else thinks about what you think or do.
Thanks for stoping by and posting your comment. I couldn't agree more with all your points. I have meditated very much on the subject, and at the end of the day, you said it quite accurately, the ONLY reason for other men not wearing nail polish is FEAR.
