joseF scarlettE [MAKE-UP ARTIST]

I am a freelance Beautician from Pluto. After falling to this shallow planet, I have decided to show the beauty I find in the simplest of things. My one true mantra has always been: "Never Grow Up..." To never stop watching cartoons or doing the simple things you did when you were little, such as coloring or just being silly. I find my soul belongs to the aesthetic. I, myself, desire to be a significant artistic being. And I am so much more complex than some bupkis alter ego.
How someone looks is never important. Neither should it be. It's all about expressing yourself without prejudice. And loving a being for their inner beauty. Sadly, that's hard to come by. One shouldn't idolize a person for their looks. But for what the extraordinary things they've done!
"EXPRESS YOURSELF! Embrace what you truely are!"
From the start, my life has been exciting and tough! I grew up in a county called Forsyth (in Georgia). Being different was easier said than done.
It is the land of the KKK for Christ sake!
But you know, I'd look really threatening too with a pillow case on my head.
It all started in pre-school. As most stories go, I was the Outcast Kid.
My mother, a very hard worker, cared for the elderly at a Nursing Center.
My father was basically a lazy drunken bum. From conception, my mother was the only one who cared for me. My father did nothing to fulfill his role. When my mom would ask him for help, he’d start complaining and make excuses. As a child I loved my mother and my pet dog Buddy very, very much.
This in turn made my father very jealous. One day I came out the back door of my house to see my father standing over Buddy. He was holding a cement block over Buddy's head! I ran to my toy box, got a neon red wiffle ball bat. And smacked my father really hard in the head,only once. Then I ran to my mother screaming about what had happened. She ran out there just in time to stop him.
A few days later I came home from pre-school and my father told me that Buddy had "run away’". He told me a story that Buddy went with a girl dog down the road. I knew the bastard had killed my dog while I was away at pre-school. Ever since then, I have kept my vow to never see another animal harmed.
As time went on, my father beat me too. He also loved to scare me to death.One time he beat me because of something I did at school. I was only 6 years old. Maybe a little older. The thing I did was, in a sense, humorous now.
This really snobby kid took my chocolate chip cookie out of my hand. So, I bit the hell out of his arm. An eye for an eye I always say! My parents soon divorced there after.
My mother and I left my father because of what he had done. I was 6 or 7 at the time. We were now basically homeless. A kind neighbor up the road took us in for the first night and let us stay.
After that night had passed, we stayed a few nights at my mother's work. Ok, I admit it. It was kind of fun! The old people were very funny and could play a mean game of checkers.
From ages 8-11, my mother and I stayed at a shelter home. After that my mom and I went from one apartment complex to another. Then we finally found a right place... And that's where I happily live now.
I came out in 6th grade. I had told my mother the very same day I had told everyone at school. My mom was very accepting. Although kind of biased because of how she was brought up.
As the years of middle school passed on, 7th and 8th grade were very tough for me. Kids, as they do, made fun of me because of how I different I appeared. Pretty typical, except until about 8th grade when it seemed the entire school loved to make fun of me. I really didn’t have any friends. Well, I had two "best friends" who weren’t even my friends at all. If anything, I was terrified of them and hated them more than anyone.
As life went on, my life changed for the best! Little did I know it, but as soon as I went to high school my life took a huge turn for the better! I'm now a Gay Icon for many at the high school. They had all heard about how I had come out at such an early age. Coming out wasn’t a big deal in my eyes. To me, I didn’t see the point in "hiding" who I am. Truly. Expressing myself freely has always been something I take great pride in, as should other people. Ever since the day I first entered high school, I gained more friends than I could count.
I started to get into makeup when I was about 13. The rest is history. My father passed away in 2006 near Valentine's Day.
One thing you have to know is that I do not condone drugs at all! Nor do I see the point in doing them. In my eyes, things such as drugs and eating disorders are completely dim-witted and vain.
I know I might come across a little peculiar and immature, but I am just a kid at heart. I love to meet new creative people! I also love to make people laugh. Soon, I'll be doing a little bit of stand up comedy. I am not one of those self-image driven people. I know who I am. I am here to prove to the world that beauty can come from the simplest things.
Be aware that I am much more than just a boy. I know who I am. My purpose here is to prove that you do not need professional photos, over-done dramatic makeup, a bogus, or a spiteful/"kiss-ass" attitude to be adored.
For a while, I performed in a Rocky Horror Picture show cast. I performed as Columbia mostly. [Pictures in photo album]
I DO MY OWN MAKE-UP.
Despite my extremely miniature frame and translucent skin, I am very secure in knowing I have the personality and experience to make it far in life simply by being myself. I will leave my mark upon the world, as many others have. I am not to be underestimated.
My inventive channel in life is art in the form of makeup. I've always found it amazing that a person could alter themselves just by applying cosmetics. This has perpetually fueled my passion, as well as my vision for the future of fashion.
I know this will make me very successful. Until that day comes, I am very grateful that I have my friends. I'm also nothing like most people. Unlike them, I will actually communicate with you, listen to you with an open mind, and give you an unbiased opinion.
If you would like to leave me a message, please do! I love getting messages from new people. I would love to get to know you all. One day, maybe we'll meet! Thank you for reading. :)
Yours truly,
Josef Scarlette
