Make up

sometimes you see people whom usually have make up on
and then suddenly they dont have make up, and its
like argh, i didnt know make up could make such a
difference. It must be hassel tho, coz once u set
a certain standard, u have to live up to it. Its similar
to the Seinfeld, good lighting , bad lighting episode.

being a guy i obvioulsy have little idea about makeup,
and going over to england for tv poker was a rare entry
into the world of cosmetic manipulation. Initially i thought
they were joking, it was like ok, Rayan, we've
finished your interviews and then we'll send you through
to make up. Your kidding me, i dont need make up, do i?
Actually "Make up" is kind of cool, coz it was
the first time, you actually got to meet the players.
During the semi-finals, tony-g, t-bloom, l.flood , and
the other 2 players, were just talking casually under
thr brighlt lights of make up while each of us are
getting touched up etc., and it sort of relaxes u
before u have to go in and play against each other. It
was kind of weird tho coz they knew each other, and I was
just the internet qualifier.

Good thing about make up for myself, was that it took
30 seconds, apparently my skin was really good or something
so they just chucked some powder on and presto i was done.
I thought the make up person must just tell that to
everyone, but then the two female dealers and
the make up lady and the photographer were there talking to
me, saying how wonderful my skin was, etc. All that praise
must have given me a dose of unnecessary self confidence,
coz i then got a thorough beating in the semi-finals.
