I won't dwell on my absence of late, just consider it a mental vacation. That is all. \n\nWell why have I returned to you, you ask? Well, let's just say, for the sake of this abusive relationship, I can't stay away from you too long, I have so much more torment to inflict. But what has broken you out of your month-long globbing funk? Well, today, as I was perusing my favorite feminist blog (aside from, you know, my own) Jezebel<\/a>, I stumbled upon a quaint little post, The Week Of No Makeup<\/a>. Writer is embarking on a challenge to not wear a stitch of makeup for a whole week. Nothing, nada, zilch. None to work, none to dinner, none at bars, none on dates (gasp), none on the hungover Sunday brunch with your parents (just as well, it's usually just the mascara-smudged remnants from the Saturday night shit-show.)\n\nAnd then it happened, Writer challenged all the women reading the post to do the same, go one week sans face-paint. Now MissBleecker is not one to shy away from a challenge, and so, Writer, I accept. 7 days without makeup (I'm sorry world.) Not only will I be participating in, what will heretofore be referred to as, The No Makeup Week Challenge Extravaganza<\/strong>, or something better for short, (how about Cavewoman Status Week<\/em>?), but I will also be chronicling my week-long journey in this little box known as the interweb. \n\nNow, for some girls (we'll call them Eyeliner Whores), this challenge wouldn't be so tough. Those are the girls who are all like, \"oh, I wear makeup,\" but really only wear eyeliner and maybe some tinted lip gloss. No, MissBleecker is a makeup fiend, I wake up and literally put on a new face. There's not a day that I don't wear makeup; I wear makeup to the grocery store, I wear makeup to take a stroll, I wear make up to buy makeup, I even wore makeup to hot yoga once (not recommended.) And I don't just do one or two things either, I have a fucking routine<\/a>. So yeah, this is going to be extra hard for me, but I'm committed, and even though it's going to be an awkward, uncomfortable and a long week, it's going to be worth it in the end (I hope.) \n\n
The Rules<\/strong>\n\n1. No makeup.\n2. Any skincare (untinted of course) is acceptable.\n3. I retain the right to do my hair, wear my regular cute outfits and accessorize.\n4. My mani\/pedi from last week is still going strong, and since I paid for it, it stays until it chips.\n5. Nothing else will change in my day-to-day life.\n6. I will document all changes in attitude; my own and those with whom I come into contact<\/blockquote>\n\nSo there it is, the gauntlet has been thrown down; starting tomorrow not brush nor liner nor cream shall touch my face for 7 consecutive days. I will be continuing life as normal, going to work, meetings, out with friends, and even to the odd party; may god have mercy on our souls!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
