Big Red Lips
Big Red Lips and curly black hair adorn this raving beauty in her red dress. This is my day 16 submission for a 30 day art challenge. The theme for the challenge is Red.
While working on this piece I recalled a memory from childhood. It had to do with curly hair.
I must have been about 12. It was the first time I thought about my appearance in any sort of altering it way. We were going on an adventure in a few days, with family and friends, and I wanted to curl my hair.
With my moms curlers, I attached as many as I could to my just washed hair two days prior to our outing. My mom said I might not want to leave them in my hair for two days, but I could not be presuaded to remove them until moments before leaving on our trip.
I expected that the removal of these curlers would render me a diva of great beauty. My friends and family were going to be SO surprised at my transformation! Well they were.
Imagine my horror when I removed these many curlers, (did I say they were tiny) these very tiny curlers and I looked like they were still attached to my head - minus the pink bits peeking through. These curls, if you could call them that, would not comb out, they would not brush out, some of the hair was a horrible rats nest because of having them attached to my head for two days!
That wasn't the worst, I was given a hat to cover the mess as the best possible solution, and EVERYONE laughed! That did effectively end my career as a diva.
Good thing I was 12 years old, I totally forgot about how I looked within the hour.
