“My thoughts expressed through my words…”

Metrosexual…

Posted on | February 26, 2006 | 2 Comments

Well today is the first time I’ve found myself thinking “How can this clear blackheads if it can’t get brake dust off my face?”

I’ve been cleaning my car, and the hideous state of my alloys had me on my knees with a hard bristled brush scrubbing away. You remember at playschool when you used to put paint on a toothbrush and flick it on paper to make crazy dots? Well that’s what it’s like with the watered down brake dust when scrubbing the wheels.

So looking at my speckled face in the mirror, I decided I couldn’t be bothered with soap and all that. Unless i had a shower it’d be annoying and effort. So I grabbed some of the Blackhead Clearing Wash and cotton wool from the girlie cupboard and started trying to see how clean that would make my face.

After the initial burning sensation calmed down, I was worried that it wasn’t working. But whatever lethal acid they put in these things did it’s job and I’m all clean now. But with a new found respect for what women put themselves through to live up to the magazine ideal. Hell, I stopped using listerine because of the pain. But in future, I think I’ll live with the blackheads.
