Pink Polish

Welcome to my first entry! I'd like to take this opportunity to make a disclaimer: I NEED A SUMMER JOB; PLEASE HIRE ME.

Not so much a disclaimer but a desperate plea for any entry-level job at a hotel/restaurant. I'm an intra-university transfer student with aspirations to major in hospitality administration and minor in sociology; the program requires all its applicants to complete 400 hours of field experience. Not so eloquently, I need a job (or internship) immediately.

Where was I going with this entry?

My inspiration was the new "MAC: Hello Kitty" line of beauty products (my old roommate, Chea Lu, is obsessed with Hello Kitty), but thoughts fail me. Besides the basic application of eyeliner and mascara, makeup is foreign to me. I know what it does to women (especially in terms of skin damage) as well as how it makes women feel more confident in themselves and their own craft, but I have no pressing connection to it. I use it during dance performances for practical, theatrical purposes, but to spend hundreds on it religiously would be centering myself around a commodity that washes away with water and a touch of soap. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I will always argue that the most beautiful women are those who do not need it, and only use it to enhance their beauty - not define it.

This is definitely not my first blog at its best; I promise to organize my thoughts better in the future.
