These are the earliest pictures I have. They're dated 10 Aug 1999.
This is before I started shaving any body hair, before I bought a decent wig, and before I figured out makeup.
I was learning makeup from two books: Kevin AuCoin's Making Faces and Michael Maron's Instant Makeover Magic.
The first book includes lots of before-and-after's, one of a male-to-female makeover. The second includes lots of makeovers of famous women, plus lessons on how to do different things, such as contours and eyes. Oddly enough, the second book is illustrated in black-and-white.
It also seems it's from before I learned to smile.
If you're laughing right now, I don't think I want to know. I'd rather let myself think I'm an inspiration. :)
And Please please please
tell me I've improved!
Improved? You mean its you? No, you're kiding!

ReplyDeleteEleven years later, you actually look younger. And less like Tim Curry.
ReplyDeleteFor early tries, these are quite good; you have come a long way in about ten years.
