Have you ever gone to church on Ash Wednesday to have a cross traced on your forehead with ashes?(Do other religions even do that, or is it just Catholics?)
I went yesterday. I didn't go for the entire Mass -- I had slept in too late for that. I went at noon for just the Ashes and Communion Service.
I don't go every year, but when I do, I always try to visualize how I'm going to look with a little black cross on my forehead. I even put on extra mascara so the cross won't completely overpower my total Look.
The picture above shows the type of cross I always imagine gracing my forehead.
Alas, below we have the reality...
Now I don't think even false eyelashes would help this look!
Anyway, even though my cross turned out to be a messy blob, I did garner some inspiration from the experience...
