first off, i'll have you know duct tape sucks. well, it also sticks, that's why it sucks. i've been thinking of going to a salon to have my upper lip hair waxed or lasered but I've been holding back because i'm pretty sure that would hurt, and i can't stand physical pain. a thousand men can break my heart and you wouldn't know it (not that it ever happened, mind you) and it means nothing to me. but i get a paper cut and i have to call 911, have i.v. drip on me, the works, because i can't stand physical pain. but tonight, what do you know, i had this brilliant idea (only because I've been running out of any ideas for anything at all, at all!) for the 5+2's freedom theme this week. band-aids didn't do, they're too small (i have a big mouth, literally) and from experience i know they hurt when taken off. packing tape, screw that. masking tape, all gone. and there's only the duct tape left. realized too late it was an even worse idea. so now methinks i would have to go tout de suite to the salon, tomorrow morning preferably, before i get questioning looks about my chaplin moustache. either that or i'll keep it for movember.
so about this freedom thing. what's being depicted here? suppression of freedom of speech - experienced that in the old country, what with the declaration of martial law and all; suppression of freedom of expression, or freedom to have your upper lip hairs remain unshaven.
hmmm...a lot of the members of my tribe would probably be happy seeing this photograph. why? because i am the outspoken member, i question everything ever since i was a little kid, which always landed me in trouble with the chief kahuna, or shall we say, his leather belt always landed on my bum. don't question his decisions or you (well, i) get beaten up. i had a pretty rough childhood because chief and i never saw eye to eye and we're not even cross-eyed. but now that i am figurehead honcho of the tribe, i'm still suppressed as to what i want to say or can say. he decreed the last time i saw him, i can write and say everything i want to say and everything i think i know, only after he dies. and i'll be like prince charles - waiting... waiting... waiting...
for this week's five + two theme "freedom".
thank you, kind folks, for your visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
much cuter than yesterdays chick... and ouch... you didnt rip your lips off? love this selfie because it depicts a woman who can speak her mind. and pssst..... men dont really like that... love it..
@cheribug - "yes, victoria, brilliant idea to post your selfie right next to the photo of the beautiful young girl." i mean what was i thinking? hahahahaha! didn't rip my lips, the hairs and it hurt i need a hug! :-) thank you, my cheribug.
'You've been silenced' is what sprang to mind as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Love the high key effect. And you're very brave putting duct tape on your face! I hope you got some sympathy when it was removed.
ahh but one not only speaks with a voice but with a mind...and you seem to have a very sound mind and you speak it well...excellent shot to portray your message my friend!
Oh my what a story my friend. You continue to speak out, it is truly freedom but stay away from the tape my friend. Oh how did the presentation go on I believe Tuesday with your photos.
Sometimes silence is golden. Sometimes speaking up is better. Sometimes it's better to buy Sally Hansen than apply duct tape to one's face. I-yi-yi! It hurts to even think about pulling that off!
You did awesome on this shot and you went through all that pain & suffering just for us on 365! I typically do my most suffering during the winter months since I'm not a fan of winter but I live in a place that gets very cold.
