2nd visit w/ Amina ❥

BONJOUR!!!
I had my 2nd appointment with Amina, as you may recall one of my latests posts (here) on the electronic stimulation I am doing at Bien Etre Salon.

We did the right side again! I was a little nervous, just because I am vain and want to be EVEN. But it is so subtle few would take notice. And we really wanted to be able to make a fair comparison.

Glass of Rose anyone? 

Feet up, settling in.

 

here I am, post 1st treatment, getting ready for 2nd.

again note that the right side of my face is the one we are working on (moleless side).

A quick "selfie" with the lady herself!!!!

getting in there, lift the eye area, no other treatment can get in around the eyes like this can.

Merci Beaucoup to le magicien!!!!

Here I am the next morning

Fuller lip, rounded cheek, narrow nostril

Here I am a couple of days later - you can for sure see the youth on my right side.

Thankfully I am going in tomorrow for the LEFT side!!! AHhhhh, Yay!
I am thrilled.

I will report back with a full face!

What Kind Of Man - Florence & The Machines

Awesome show last nite at the Masonic in San Francisco.

I was on a heavy tip

Tryna cross a canyon with a broken limb

You were on the other side

Like always, wondering what to do with life

I already had a sip

So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it

You were on the other side

Like always, you could never make your mind

And with one kiss

You inspired a fire of devotion

That lasted 20 years

What kind of man loves like this

To let me dangle at a cruel angle

Oh my feet don't touch the floor

Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out

But never close the door

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

You're a holy fool all colored blue

Red feet upon the floor

You do such damage, how do you manage?

Tryna crawl in back for more

And with one kiss

You inspired a fire of devotion

That lasted 20 years

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

But I can't beat you

Cause I'm still with you

Oh mercy I implore

How do you do it

I think I'm through it

Then I'm back against the wall

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man

#politicalharing

Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990) was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality, and war. Haring's work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century.

We saw the exhibtion this weekend at the De Young in San Francisco. A MUST SEE!
It ends on the 16th of February, so those of you that are local, you should get over there this week.

Amazing, tape and headlines can send powerful messages.

Feels familiar.

moses and the burning bush

one of his most famous pieces.

Apartheid

"I'm sure inside I'm not white. . . I'm proud to be gay.  I'm proud to have friends and lovers of every color.  I am ashamed of my forefathers, I am not like them."

In his work Silence=Death Haring portrays multiple figures covering their eyes, mouths, and ears. The piece is intended to illustrate the oppression and invisibility that AIDS victims felt in the 1980s. Works like Haring's helped to give those living with AIDS more visibility at a time when many were suffering in absolute silence, with no voice, no visibility and no support from those around them. In Silence=Death, the figures are all laid over a pink triangle, a symbol associated with homosexual men. Originally used during the Holocaust, the pink triangle was used to signify those who were being targeted for their homosexuality. Since then, the symbol has often been reclaimed and re-appropriated by the gay rights movement. The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) also used the symbol starting in 1987.

It is incredible how you walk thru the journey of an artist and be completely consumed and taken by their work.  Relating to the struggle and the power.  The images and the intention.

Bravo, Keith Haring!

RIP.

Haring died on Friday February 16, 1990 of AIDS-related complications.[15]

As a celebration of his life, Madonna declared the first New York date of her Blond Ambition World Tour a benefit concert for Haring's memory and donated all proceeds from her ticket sales to AIDS charities including AIDS Project Los Angeles and amfAR; the act was documented in her film Truth or Dare.
