I adapted this from something I found on the internet. Thought it would be cute to add to.......
If you are a true face painter, then almost all of these things will apply to you. Go ahead and read it and have a good laugh. You Might Be a True Face Painter If: You wake up and want to try to paint a new face paint design on yourself daily. Your greeted at the grocery store with " Oh, I didn't recognize you without your face painted." You can only place adults by who their daughter or son is. You've driven to 4 different stores looking for just the right paint brushes. You are referred to as “the lady who makes me into animals” You've ever considered buying a fish tank filter to make your own stipple sponges. Your idea of cheek art involves the entire face. Your husband says you talk in your sleep. You keep saying, “What would you like to be today?” You catch yourself referring to your daughter’s makeup as “princess face paint” You had to go back to your car on the trip to Hobby Lobby because half way into the store you realized you were wearing a feather in your hair, your name tag, and you were carrying your tip bucket. You find glitter in unmentionable places while showering. You buy paint brushes by the gross. You can come up with a dozen “G” rated terms for breasts, butt crack, and vagina. Your face paints have gotten your baggage pulled and hand inspected at the airport. (But they let you go, of course, because you have so much that you MUST be a true face painter.) You've had to explain to the clerk why you need 25 identical anything. You've spent what was considered a family holiday with a bunch of women and men at a hotel far from home. You consider thongs and pasties "essential" in your work attire. You've spent New Years Eve painting until all hours of the morning instead of drinking and celebrating. Your emergency kit includes eyelash glue, bug spray, and jewels. You can paint 6 hours without a bathroom break. You've planned conception and birth around your next face painting convention. Women proudly announce "I didn't wear any panties today!" as they walk in to be body painted. You pay for your purchase of $53 in one dollar bills. (Tip money, of course.) You can't believe the moms that buy Palmer face paint at Party City. And no, the paint brushes at the dollar store won’t work for good face painting! You purchase $400 worth of face paint at a convention just because it’s ½ price. Have any more to add to this???????? Send them to the list.
