Something funny-

Since I started going to the Community College in the art dept I have been surrounded by kids 16-26 with various degrees of modifications. No problem there. My eldest daughter dove into the art department. too. She took Painting I and there were a few of folks in there that were pierced from head to toe.

There is this one guy, maybe 23, a really BIG fella that has this huge stud(gauge thing with a tooth or something on it?) in his one ear and earrings of varying sizes in his other ear as well as a tonge ring and lip and nose and tattoos up both arms and... you get the idea right? Well, he is an awesome guy- sweet as can be. He'd probably blush if I told him he was a big ol teddy bear. But at a distance... he can be a scary looking dude and the first time Trill's Beau came over to the Art dept to see her he near freaked when he saw Rich and some of his pals. it was nuts! he even asked if she was "Safe" over there when I wasn't there. [8D] like we'd let her take classes there if it wasn't *safe*.[8D]

Another young man took a liking to trill- he had a few piercings and could sing the tenor part in choir but those folks were "too stuffy" for him. He was a vibrant fella, full of life and laughter. Again an awesome guy. Trill had done a painting and he really liked it himself. I came in with Trill's Beau one afternoon (trying to convince him that it was an ART LAB class and walking in and out was acceptable and encouraged) to show him Trill's work in progress. Duane was at the easel next to Trill and when Mr. B(the Beau) commented on how nice the painting was Duane said "Thanks, it was my idea." Mr. B just stood there dumbstruck as Trill shot back "Your idea! HA! I painted every stroke myself YOU get zero credit!" Punctiating every word with her paintbrush... Mr. B turned deathly white as Duane took her paint palette and walked out of the room calling back "That's It! I can't take this abuse any longer! It's over! I WANT A DIVORCE!"

It took near the entire semester to convince Mr. B that Rich was a sweetheart and that Duane was really engaged to another gal that was in my Photo I class who did not mind that he needed a divorce from Trill.

Trill also had a few pals in the music end of the hallway that were hesitant to come down on that end of the hall but when they saw I was there they ventured down that way. I think the one young lady is thinking about taking some graphic arts classes now. She had actually told trill that some of the folks down that way scared her silly and she would walk OUTSIDE in the rain to her car instead of walk down the hall past those classes. She laughs at herself for being so silly now.

To be quite honest the ones down there that are not obviously modified are more scary in real life than those who are. I can think of one more than normal looking young man that I'd like to introduce to a bar of soap.[8|]

I will confess that I have zero tattoos and only ever had my ears done two and a half times. As I have aged a sensitivity to nickel has gotten worse and worse to the point where even the nickel free stuff bothers me. (nickel free doesn't always mean 100% absence of the stuff) One set was a cartilage piercing up high on my ear. I did have a third one put in on the one side because they charged the same for one earring as they did for two and I was having my eldest's left ear redone. Any rate that is long past. I can only wear in the bottom holes now and then only for a couple of hours before my earlobes get swollen and red.

My mother's ears are the same way and have been her whole life. I would recommend titanium, as most people can tolerate it, but real titanium jewelry is expensive and there isn't a lot of variety.

... if there was such a thing in the hillbilly land I spent my Highschool years in.

That made me laugh out loud. I was always getting sent to the principal's office for dress code violations.

Hair- it grows out. The girls have both done temporary colors. they have had purple and red and pink. Triss currently has some bleached chunks done. They were pink, but it washed out. When Triss did the purple I did a bit around my face and got some serious sideways looks. Triss usually does a temp color each summer. I think I have her turned onto the kool-aid coloring. cheap and temporary. It should look NICE on her chunks.

Ah yes, Kool-Aid. Cheap and messy. [:D] I used Manic Panic off and on for years, but if your hair is longer than chin length I would say don't bother. I don't know why anyone would give you looks. You're a grown up and I guess you can do whatever you want! [:D]

LOL! I read that Cheap and EASY... I will make it really thick and then do a foil/plastic wrap layered thing to wrap the chunks in for her.

Dress code violations... I toed the line. I had a teacher walk up behind me and paper clip the back of a blouse with a split back shut once. it was not a violation as my undergarment(I wasn't wearing) wasn't showing...

Another teacher was constantly snatching my fedora(or hat of the week) off my head. It was an older woman that wore dresses all the time. I finally looked at her and told her that a true gentlewoman would KNOW that a woman never removed her hat in polite society. She growled at me but left me alone so long as i doffed the hat for the pledge et al and being a Navy brat you know I did just that.

Then there was the time I got burned at work and wore my sisters skirt with suspenders and a belt high up on my waist- the skirt waistband came up to where that undergarment I wasn't wearing woulda come. the bottom of the skirt came dangerously close to the shortest it could be. This skirt was something like 4x bigger than I needed but provided a light weight tent for the 3rd degree burn I had on my leg. the doc gave me a note... But I went to school anyway. Oh and no slip under said skirt either. I was wearing bikini bottoms though. I remember standing right outside the school office and having a bud(of the male persuasion) walk up and ask how the burn was(it was seriously on mu upper thigh and hip)... I hiked the skirt up and showed him right there. The Vice principal who knew the family through baseball stepped out and simply said "Miss Hensley PLEASE..." I said howdy Mr. so and so- you wanna see my scar? he shook his head and turned around.

And footwear. in my opinion it was optional. i got fussed at to put my shoes on more times than I can count.

I would say if your hair is longer than chin length, and you want it dyed a colour, do it. I've never had any problems manic panic-ing my below-the-shoulders hair.



rhippie -> RE: CW Underground (5/19/2008 9:36:27 AM)

More power to ya!! I have to admit that the thought of getting tats has appealed to me in my younger days but I never carried it out. For some reason the idea of getting a butterfly on my shoulder that would morph into a komodo dragon in my old age never appealled to me all that much![:D]

As for piercings.....all I can say is "OUCH!!"

As an aging hippie however if that's what you want to do then go for it; just understand that not all of us out here will understand you (but then no one understood why my hair reached my belt for over 25 years either so I don't have to understand it) I just need to realize that folks that are different than me are just that..different. As long as it doesn't have an impact on your walk with Christ then I don't care

It's just messy, messy. [:'(] I've always been slightly disappointed that the gorgeous Manic Panic colors will wash out of your hair, but stain everything else in their path. [:(] [8D]



miasma -> RE: CW Underground (5/19/2008 4:52:20 PM)

/shrugs

I never had any problems with it. No different than using a regular hair dye.



ezri -> RE: CW Underground (5/19/2008 5:15:33 PM)

Can I come in here and scream like I wanna scream but can't anywhere else?

All Y'all will still love me if I come in here and singing Skillet's better than drugs at the top of my lungs, right?

I'd bang my head but it is banging from the inside out so no need to over do it right?

Gotta love a guy not afraid to wear his wife's eyeliner-

Gotta love the wife that shares her eye liner with her husband-

--> trapped in a house wife's body <--

Maybe that's why I have all these blasted migraine headaches?

Might get interesting the more I let go and enjoy the artist God made me, huh.

stellaluna -> RE: CW Underground (5/19/2008 5:28:09 PM)

LOL...go ahead. [:D]



ezri -> RE: CW Underground (5/19/2008 6:56:53 PM)

Thanks-

I needed that.

seriously...do I know you?



[8D]



ezri -> RE: CW Underground (5/20/2008 4:58:08 PM)

LOL Doink! The band Skillet- the Lead singer(male) is married to another member of the band and they share eyeliner, I saw them passing it back and forth in a podcast of their comatose bus tour. Sharing your eyeliner... That is love right?



I don't wear any makeup myself as I am sensitive to most of the stuff. I won't call it an allergy, more a claustrophobic thing. I have enough crazy woman trapped within my frame, I don't need to hide the skin under a glitter encrusted powdery layer as well. [;)] what you see is not always what you get, and that includes those of us that go sans makeup... [;)]

doinkdom -> RE: CW Underground (5/20/2008 5:07:12 PM)

[:D] When me and my husband first met, we shared eyeliner before we'd go out dancing.

so...it was just a weird reference.[sm=blush.gif]

I just gave my latest Skillet CD to a friend's kid who's graduating this year.



JustJeannie -> RE: CW Underground (5/23/2008 10:04:45 PM)

WoW! I was like the first post-er for this thread that Stella started and then got busy with the kids, my schoolin', work and such...

These have been some great posts!!

I love my tatts and piercings! I have a small nose stud and I work as a "Church Secretary". I really think people are becoming more accepting in the fact that our outward appearance has nothing to do with our inner spirit or our walk with God.



humbleinspirit -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 12:37:24 PM)

Men and eyeliner, now what is this, a flashback to the 80's?[:D] Can someone say Depeche Mode or the Cure? [;)]

Husband's favorite was The Cure, mine was Depeche Mode! [:D][8D]



humbleinspirit -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 8:47:03 PM)

Haha!



stellaluna -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 9:14:54 PM)

There's a fab new thread in He Says about women with tattoos. I'm so glad to see we're keeping up our reputation for loose morals. [sm=aside.gif]

I'm going to have to vote Depeche Mode.



humbleinspirit -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 9:19:10 PM)

Now Stella you seem more like a Cure person instead! [8D] I found that tattoo thread and posted in it as well.



stellaluna -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 9:24:34 PM)

I expect you to have our backs in that thread--I'll be checking. [;)]

It's not that I don't like The Cure...it's just that I like Depeche Mode better. And weren't DM more religious--what with "Personal Jesus" and all. [8D]



humbleinspirit -> RE: CW Underground (5/24/2008 9:28:03 PM)

Yeah, I didn't initally like Personal Jesus at all, but then it grew on me though. I do not want to know the real meaning of the song lest it is spoiled on me.[&:] Whats his name, Johnny Cash even did a cover of the song as well.

I saw that...amazing [8|] and not in a good way

and then there are the threads asking how come Christian women don't dig Christian men or what's wrong with Christian men today...

one word

hypocrits

not all of them - I found one that is not, but there is a good sized group out there who want their own past forgiven, their own version of legalism made legitimate or their own junk overlooked and yet, do not extend that same grace to others



ezri -> RE: CW Underground (5/27/2008 3:32:20 PM)

Outward appearance = zilch in God's economy

The horrible stuff we carve in our hearts, that we think no one sees, that's the stuff that sickens God...
