we had a neighborhood block party yesterday

a new couple just moved in and introduced themselves to other neighbors

I was afraid to talk to them at first cuz the husband was wearing makeup on his face, and it looked like some kind of tanning bronzer from Estee Lauder (so he stuck out like a sore thumb)

but the wife had zero makeup on, at an outside party

what would you think of that?

once we got over the initial sight, we ignored it and everyone talked to them

but we still wondered about it cuz not too many men around here wear makeup in Florida, especially since the heat usually melts it off your face onto your clothes with sweat, so women don't usually ear it outside on a weekend

weird is my constant mantra now, especially with march madness

and I am tired of weird

so many of the thirty-something white millennials wear I live at are so odd because I have never seen a black man wearing makeup in my neck of the woods

just sayin'...

I have seen a lot of skin infections and changes. I do not know why. More people wearing beards or facial hair as well. And I think this is why some people are still wearing masks. Whatever the reason, it must be very difficult because the face is a very important part of who you are so I would go with compassion. The thing I have found very odd is the new deodorant (Lumi?) that is for all over body. Most people are aware that some of these products are not health promoting, especially for certain body areas, so there is something else going on here bc in the past we would have doctors advising against this type of product but I have not seen anything against it yet.
