Purple Eyeshadow.

I feel beautiful. I feel sexy. Not because some man told me I was, and not because I suddenly measure up to the girls in the magazines. I feel beautiful because I have on a lacy skirt and a flirty blouse and I'm wearing eyeshadow. Purple eyeshadow. Everyone says people with brown eyes are supposed to wear purple, but I decided to shake it up. I think purple looks good with my blue eyes. They say blue-eyed people should wear brown, but brown is not for me. I'm not a brown person. Brown people are quiet; they sit in corners and read books. Brown people don't think about feeling sexy. Purple people dream and live and experience. They're not afraid to step out on the dance floor or sing karaoke. And then there are blue people. Blue people often appear to be brown people, but this is a false reading. They are dormant purple people. All day long they sit and watch life pass them by until the evening brings them to life. Suddenly they're dancing on tables because the ground is just too low. I am a blue person. I want to be a purple person, to live and love the way they do, but I am content with the life I've been dealt - because now it's night, and I am wearing my purple eyeshadow.
