Flesh Tones


Flesh, skin, dermis, epidermis.  
The rubbery substance that covers our internal organs and skeleton.
It's fucking weird if you break it down like that.  
I was riding the train "late night" last night when I realized.
Ew.  Our skin is crazy.  
That's awfully vague.

Crazy= Outer layer that is completely randomly shaped according to your parents skin and where your cartilage lies.

I mean whoa. 
 I know this is so remedial but I thought about it for a good 2o minutes, just staring at the faces of strangers.  I'm thankful for where my cartilage lies.  (PS I had to spellcheck that word.)  I thought it was cartiledge.  Nope.  Oh but here's the point.

We have the ability to really fuck with our skin!  
I mean facelifts, nose jobs, boob jobs :)
I want to tell all those crazy aped face 60 year old bitches with the liver spotted hands and smooth, shiny face skin that their organs are still old.  Their bones are STILL old.  Their minds are the oldest they have ever been, and...
You don't look young.  
You look like Dr. Zais.
