If he could not be made to look convincingly like a woman he was not going to do the movie. Does something sound familiar? How many of us are fearful of going out the door because we fear that others will recognize us as being a man dressed as a woman? The makeup artist did their magic on Mr. Hoffman and he did look very convincingly like a woman, but then he told them, “Now make me beautiful”. They told him this is as good as it gets. In the YouTube video Dustin said he wondered what would his life be like if he was born a female? Being seen as a woman is one thing, but how would things be different if we were actually born female? I think it is a question that we all ask ourselves. I remember reading where many years ago for a transsexual to get that letter for the surgery they had to invent a childhood as a girl. What would it have been like for me if I was born a girl instead of a boy? No doubt I would have been given dolls and toy kitchens to play with instead of trains and balls, and I guess rather than playing baseball I would have been playing something like hopscotch or jump rope. Like most boys I took my interest in things mechanical and went on to a career in electronics, but what if I was born female, what would my interest have been then? Would it have simply been to be a homemaker, or would I have gone on to become a nurse, or a secretary? I wonder in high school age what kind of boy would I want for a boyfriend. Would he be a jock on the football team, someone with bulging muscles, a nerd? What kind of man would I eventually marry? Someone with plenty of money, or a hard worker who spends more time and energy at the office, or someone who shows lots of affection for me, or would he be a total jerk? Dress our age…. Oh how pretty the clothes are for little girls. The clothes for little boys are simply a sized down version of what adult men wear, but for little girls the dresses are nothing like Mommy’s, they are far prettier. It seems that as a girl gets older the clothes become a little more simplified. Not as pretty as those for the younger girls. Now there is one segment of our community known as “Adult Little Girls” where they dress as little girls age 6-10, play with their dolls and have things like tea parties with them and otherwise act as a little girl of that age. Just as we have our gatherings like Southern Comfort, they have something they call camp where they get together and play, and inside they would play those children’s board games like Candyland or the Barbie game, or color in their coloring books all while drinking hot chocolate. I can imagine the talk among them about school, their imagined Mommy and Daddy, and how nasty the little 4 boys are to them. Yeah, if we were born a girl, what would our childhood be like? How would life be different for us then and how would life be different for us now? Now make me beautiful…. Hmmm, when a woman is getting ready for a date or to go someplace special, she has that pretty dress on, has spent much time doing her hair and makeup, and when finished she looks in the mirror, I wonder what she sees. Does she see herself as beautiful and pretty, or does she just decide this is the best it can get? The beauty industry makes millions telling women that they will not be beautiful unless they use this or that product. How much money is spent on diet products because the industry make the implication to women that only thin women are beautiful? And so I dream and wonder, what would life have been like, and how would things be different if I was born a girl? 5 The Truth About Your Makeup WebMD Is it OK to sleep in your eye makeup? Mascara can flake into your eyes while you sleep. You might wake up with itchy, bloodshot eyes, scratched corneas, or even an infection. Make sure to remove all makeup before you go to bed. Whatmay attract the sun's UV rays to your lips? High-gloss sheer lipstick Sheer, high-gloss lipsticks offer little protection and can attract damaging UV rays to your lips. If you want the wet look, apply an opaque lipstick first, then top with the gloss. Use a lip balm with at least SPF 30. Nail polish may stain your nails. Nail polish, particularly darker colors, may stain your fingernails or toenails and leave them yellowed and discolored. The stained nails will grow out, but it may take several months. Can hypoallergenic cosmetic products cause allergic reactions? Just because a product says it's hypoallergenic doesn't mean you won't have a reaction to it. The FDA doesn't have standards for using the term "hypoallergenic," so cosmetic makers don't have to prove their claims. Any product can be labeled "hypoallergenic" no matter what its ingredients, and no cosmetic product can be guaranteed not to cause an allergic reaction. 6 According to some experts, which product should you replace every three months? Because of the risk of eye infections, you may not be able to use eye makeup, including mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow, as long as you would other products. Liquid or creamy makeup can harbor bacteria more easily, so some experts recommend replacing your mascara every three months. If mascara dries out, don't add water or saliva to moisten it. That can introduce bacteria. Which of the following promotes bacterial growth in makeup? Sharing makeup with friends Exposing makeup to light or heat Using makeup when you have an eye infection Cosmetic brushes, sponges, and fingertips pick up bacteria and other germs from the skin, so sharing makeup can mean you're also sharing bacteria. (Moistening brushes with saliva makes this worse.) Ex- tended exposure to light or heat can break down the preservatives that fight bacteria, so don't leave your makeup in a hot car. And don't use cosmetics if you have an eye infection like pinkeye. Throw away any makeup you were using when you discovered the infection. Do Some lipsticks made in the U.S. contain lead? While some lipsticks do contain small amounts of lead, lipstick is intended for external use only and you probably swallow only very small quantities of it. While the FDA has concluded that lead levels in lipsticks aren't a safety concern, the agency plans to pursue further testing. Do some eye makeup made in other countries contains hazardous levels of lead? Kohl is a traditional type of eye makeup that can contain significant amounts of lead. It's not permitted for use as an additive in any cosmetic or FDA-regulated product in the U.S., but it has been 7 advertised for mail order online. Some types of eye makeup may be labeled with the term “kohl” to indicate the shade, but the product doesn’t actually contain kohl. Does the FDA approves all cosmetics before they are sold to the public? A cosmetics maker can sell products without FDA approval. The FDA does not review or approve cosmetic products or any cosmetic ingredients, with the exception of color additives, which are required to have safety testing. Are cosmetics maker is required to report injuries caused by its products? The FDA doesn't require cosmetics makers to submit information about any injuries caused by their products and doesn't issue cosmetics recalls, though it can request recalls by the manufacturer. It also monitors ongoing recalls. A product can be taken off the market only if the FDA proves in court that it is dangerous or breaks the law. Which ofthe following is the mostcommon injury from cosmetics? Scratching the eye with a mascara wand is the most common cosmetics-related injury.
