Inclusive Advert
I have been up since 4 am and as usual, conditioned as anyone else, I have been on my phone checking "things"...
Among those things, I found an advertisement for the beauty salon I have been going to for a few years now.
In the LGBTQ section I discovered two pictures of me all made up. These were taken by their amazing and super friendly make up artist.
I am not model material by any stretch of the imagination, but it was nevertheless impressive and made me proud to see myself there representing gender inclusive services.
I remember that day vividly, it was before I was supposed to go meet my ex boyfriend for our first date. He was hanging out at a Kink / bdsm type convention. A world unknown to me before then, really.
So I had asked my sweet make up artist to come up with a fitting look for the occasion. I was thinking leather, pvc, whips and chains, fishnets and such.
It certainly was a successful look and a preferred one by my then boyfriend.
Good memories of a time when it was fun going out.
