1) You feel naked without lashes on. It seems impossible that your mug is finished without them.
2) You find crystals, sequins and glitter everywhere. In your bed, in your lint trap, on your pets...everywhere.
3) Your lips consistently feel like the Sahara. Longwear lipstick is great for the stage, but not so good on your skin.
4) There's a real fear of leaving the house without pants on. You get so comfortable in your nudity that you get phobic that you'll leave the house half dressed.
5) Your personal space boundaries become minuscule. Seriously. The tiny dressing rooms and nakedness makes for a handsy bunch of folks.
6) Your pink bits are always tender and sore and covered in adhesive residue. Sometimes you're pulling that stuff off for days.
7) You shimmy in inappropriate places. Grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants...if the music is calling for it, it's hard to stop yourself.
8) You cannot shop for anything without thinking about turning it into a routine. Like, ANYTHING. "Hm...this vase could possibly fit on my head, no?"
9) Most of your shoes and clothes are miserably uncomfortable. I'd like to say you acclimate to it, but no.
10) Your house (and life) becomes held together entirely by E6000. We should buy stock in it.
11) You are constantly covered in mystery bruises. From props, other girls, and God knows what else.
Although all of these things are legitimate issues we as burleskers face, it's all worth it in the end. We think.
