Dress Up

i am a makeup artiste.

i am a choreographer.

i am a fashion stylist.

but i do not wear makeup, sashay or play dress up.

while the NOT wearing makeup or sashaying works fine,

the NOT dressing up does not go well with many people.

and by people i mean Strangers, Fans & Clients.

being in the Fashion field means one must always or at least keep

up with trends, style and appearance.

3 things i'm not into when i comes to myself.

i know that i can put together an amazing look

with limited wardrobe, money or time.

but when I have to do the same with myself, i become Lazy.

when it comes to dressing up i have 3 Rules.

#1: Where are you going?

#2: Why are you there?

#3: Who are you trying to impress?

these 3 Rules help you dress Good,

makes you look Better than the rest and

you honestly feel the Best about yourself.

ask any Bride.

but me...?

like i said, i am Lazy.

do i have to look the Part when i step out of the house

so that when people i don't know don't give me a second look?

or when Fans see me on the street and wonder if That is really me?

or the Clients i meet wonder if i am the Right one for the job?

truth is... Yes.

Yes when you don't want people

looking at you like you just got out of bed.

Yes when your Fans admire and respect your Style & Personality

when they see you on TV.

Yes when you want your Clients to take you seriously.

Dressing up is not necessarily for yourself.

it is sometimes in respect to others.

cos when you respect others, they will respect you in return.

so i am gonna start playing Dress Up.

i just hope the world is ready for it...

It is something you earn.'' Marcus AC
