Skeletor

So I guess I'm a little obsessive about my cheeks. I've always been skinny, but until recently have had a relatively round, pudgy face. Three and a half years of grad school has made me a bit more gaunt, but it's been kind of nice to finally see a semblance of cheekbones.

Last night, though, I dreamed that although my cheeks had become really quite sunken, my face still looked kind of lumpy. I realized that it was because my cheeks were resting against three large teeth on either side of my bite, which meant that instead of gentle hollows under my cheekbones, I had these three vertical lines on each side. It wasn't a good look.

I think the solution is either better bathroom lighting or more truffles! Mmmmm, truffles...

Diamond lip ring

I had forgotten this aspect of my dream until I interacted with my multiply-facially-pierced students this morning: I dreamed a woman had a lip ring that was a diamond stud, off-center and in the middle of her lower lip. It actually looked kind of cool, but I didn't realize until I thought about it this morning how completely impossible such a piercing would be.

I think the influences were probably a combination of shopping online for tiny "diamond" stud earrings and Mandy's sexy motherpucker.
