why are you doing this?

why do you want to know?

@Anonymous: because I`m curious

it isn't a choice.

are you talking about her making herself blue or why she posted it?

@Anonymous: Situation unclear.

i suppose it is a way of cleaning up dead stuff... it comes as a natural thing to do, like an itch that needs to be scratched. i have time on my hands with no job and trying to survive the blue while it dries... and hope that maybe one day it might be entertaining to others.

@Anonymous: Oh well whaddya know, I have a genius:

As a food additive, zinc oxide is on the U.S. FDA's list of generally recognized as safe, or GRAS, substances.[83]
Zinc oxide itself is non-toxic; however it is hazardous to inhale zinc oxide fumes, as generated when zinc or zinc alloys are melted and oxidized at high temperature.

But it must be cobalt zinc blue? huh?

@Praetor_Domzin: Are you the bluefoot?

@Anonymous: I thought it was funny! What's wrong with that? And I wanted to show that I'm not always cranky! Lighten up! I'm new to this site, I don't know the etiquette yet. Sorry if this somehow offends :/

@thepersonwhosaidzincwasbad...it's kind of heavy duty sunscreen. It's not bad for you, and with a tad of effort the stuff came off. But I've learnt my lesson. Do not cover your face in zinc - and do not post pictures of yourself on canvas because people will inevitably be mean to you. :)

@Anonymous: Harsh! Lucky I hated Avatar and did this out of boredom while watching Babe :P

@Anonymous: Guess I did too :P

@Anonymous: Thanks! That makes me feel heaps better! It is pretty fun! :)

And I do it because I'm bored, and I think it's kinda cool to see how much a face changes with a uniform colour. Sorry if I have no life.
