Weekend Glam: Lace Skirt and Braid

Happy Weekend, Everyone!

When I was a little girl, I only had one doll, a very simple and plastic one, no hair and only one build-on outfit, and the colors were fading after years of play. I didn’t stop liking her because of that; indeed, I liked to dress her. I used a handkerchief tied on her head and it became her long hair; I used a red-ink pen to put lipstick on her (no, to my memory, my mom didn’t use lipstick until I was 20 years old). And I made her skirt and dress by using other handkerchiefs. For me, the “dress up” part was really fun, and I am still enjoying it, not on my doll, but on myself, like last night. This is something that makes me happy.

In Chinese: 亲爱的，周末快乐！

记得小的时候，我有且只有一个塑料的硬娃娃，没有头发，衣服也是已经固定了的喷漆的衣服。玩了一两年后，娃娃开始裉色，但我并没有因为嫌弃她，而是还是很开心替她扮美。比如用手帕扎她头上做长发，再用别的手帕在她身上扎在裙子。再用一些红墨水笔替她化妆。（在我印象里，我妈妈好象是在我20岁的时候才用口红的。）小时候给我娃娃的那些“扮美”片刻现在成了很美好的回忆。年纪大了，偶尔的，还会拾起那些个回忆，重新回到童年的我，不过现在“扮美”则是用在了自己身上。在平凡的日子里能让自己开心的事情并不多，做些让自己开心的事情吧。
