Sueños de infancia 2: Jen

Apparently this St. Andrews stage is basically based on fulfilling my childhood dreams, and that comes from being hair-braided and face-painted by who is up to the day my most loyal companion and my best friend in this island, Beth. Back in November I had the chance to dress up as Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas and yesterday I became a quite nice and imposing representation of Wrath, from the Seven Deadly Sins. Not the anime though, just the plain Sins. 

Putting aside of fantastic our pre-drinks were and the ridiculous amount of laugh and alcohol displayed at Seton and Lewi's, my costume made my night. And yes, I say 'my costume' because it was a pack of face-tank top-braids. When the event was created and the Seven Deadly Sins were announced as theme, I knew I was going to be Wrath. Like, because. Like, obviously. But what I really wanted was being a Wraith from one that is among all the PS2 games my favourite, Primal. I showed the image to Beth and we both agreed it could be possible to get, at least, a significant percentage of closeness. And after ten minutes of pure fun, lipstick, eyeshadow and eyeliner, I became Jen. Jen in her Wraith form, Jen my heroine from Primal. And I have a picture that shows that. 

Possibly one could compare my picture and Jen's Wraith skin and realise how far we both are from being identical, but I don't care. Because when I looked at the mirror yesterday, I could see Jen. I just could see her in me, and that was priceless. Priceless to me and to my fourteen-years-old-self, who was crying happy tears while beholding what her body and her shape had become thirteen years after. A proud, strong, rageous woman. A bold, fearless grown up. A Wraith. A Deadly Sin. 

And that, to me, was priceless.

Cosas que tienen que ver, I ended up putting on the same Jack I used for Jack's costume and it weirdly suited the whole, because I guess Satan's furious bodyguard has the same taste for fashion as the Pumkin King. Who could have thought of that.
