Have you ever stopped to think,
The similarities between
Face paint and makeup?
That most likely,
The capitalist economy thought,
Our face paint sales are in the red,
How can we rename
And repackage this
for a sales boost,
who can we manipulate?
Not enough men
are into this newfangled “sports team” support concept.
Women! Ah!
Women need to look fertile!
And fertile is clown,
That’s what men want!
And that is my hypothesis
About the birth of makeup.
The epilogue to this history
Is the women,
Who own the makeup,
Wearing it only in the style,
That boosts them,
Makes them happy,
If they wear it at all.
No men dictate it.
