Whenever her roots begin to show,
she heads to the salon for a second skin.
‘How long will this veneer hold?’
she asks her sparkling reflection,
taking care not to scratch
the surface.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
I’d say no more coating of the harsh realities 🙂
Our society covers so many things up – what if we stayed real? What would happen then? Just wondering….
Wonderful themes in your latest shared works, Melody! Although her roots are a lot darker than mine! 😉
Thanks, Eric! I’m really enjoying these character pieces myself…
Thinking about veneers currently…
You too? 🙂
Winter seems to have gone Hollywood I see… 😆
Just a tad… 🙂
love the metaphor of veneer and scratches – it works so well!
Thanks Pam. There is so much pressure on women to look a certain way – and not so much encouragement to go deeper…
It’s true – women are expected to stay permanently young – I love the cometary…
Thank you! The expectations women labour under are unrealistic – it’s time to not buckle to the pressure, but to feed and beautify our insides as well as our outsides!!
