Pressed Powder


Who knew . . . I was translucent?

According to the name of my new pressed powder I purchased today I am translucent. That is right I am not fair, ivory, pale, pasty, or white. All those descriptors are too colorful to describe my skin tone.

Merriam-Wesberter.com defines translucent as:

permitting the passage of light: a : clear, transparent b : transmitting and diffusing light so that objects beyond cannot be seen clearly

So am I reading this write? My skin has no color? My skin is merely a layer designed to diffuse light and possibly even visibility of my innards? Without my moles and my propencity to sunburn I might question if I had skin at all.
And now we know what I would look like if I were a frog!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself and THIS made me laugh out loud today.

I'm translucent too, no big deal. Once a Dominican asked me if I had swallowed a bottle of bleach
