SECTION III FEMALE
This Earthly experience is riddled with opportunities for us to prove exactly who it is that we are 'not. Due to the din of life, we get frightened away from being loyal to who we truly are or can be. We make the decisions we believe to be expected from us. Who we think we are expected to be is usually a person that is so far away from who we truly are inside, that we almost feel exhausted with the burden of 'the new me'or 'the sexier me' or 'the outgoing spontaneous me' (this list can easily court infinity). At work, in school, at home, screaming and tortured we silently push the knowledge of our greatest self far away from all recollection, too be once again dreamed upon in some selfish moment of self gratification. Wearing our 'acquired' persona as a mask we silently grin ourselves deep into the very darkness from where we must now try in earnest to recollect information that was offered us on the proverbial 'silver platter' we then begin a many stepped journey to 'finding self', 'remembering self' and ultimately (and hopefully) 'knowing self'.
SECTION III MALE
'WHO NAME MAN?". Where did we find this, drab, shadow of a man that is characterised by his emotional rigidity, coarse social values and complete inability to 'feel' any music or truly 'dance' through to a rhythm's end? When did we throw away pony tails with little bows for army fatigues and pants under our asses? Why can't we be men, why do we have to be MEN?
Grunt instead of sing, shift instead of dance, have sex with instead of make love to. If self does not dance then self does not dance, but how would we ever know if self is not given a chance to speak? This is obviously my personal interpretation for this section, basically shutting up ourselves so that we 'fit in' is like a slingshot in reverse, sending us wheeling into a dark self created pit, far far away from our ultimate destination.But then again without this dark pit, a starting point for progress, how would we know progression at all?

While I don't like the face mask part of this cotume too much, I am feeling very drawn to this costume as well. The more I watch it on my desktop, the more I am loving it. The colours, the corset, the headpiece...even the skirt which I didn't like at first (a bit to much material for me) I've started to like even more.
