[ DEAD FEET DÉCOLLETAGE OR THE TYRANNY OF HUMAN HAIR ]

 

by Emma

 

 

 

Skin and hair and fingernails and dead cells under control.

 

Cutting and trimming and pruning and shaping and smoothing.

 

Every day cells dying.

 

Bronzing, shining, shimmering,perfecting.

 

Skin flaking and leaving.

 

Tweaking, tweezing, contorting your face in purposeful pain.

 

Making yourself look so undead- the best you can be.

 

Now it's time to get out there and find a partner for your celebration of life and living and never reconcile with your impending stop. Death.

 

 

Never stop the everyday surveillance of yourself and isn't that a stray short black hair pushing itself defiantly out from under your smoothed and powdered brow? Get it now. Now!

 

But it's not enough. Only $9.95 and you can have it dealt with professionally.

 

The wax is hot and it stings like sunburn but it feels better than that- the quick release and relief.

 

Achieving the perfect and normal state of average. There's divinity in going unnoticed.

When you're dead your pubic hair will rise up and strangle your body as it rots.

 

Your fingernails will grow and curl and harden better than with a lifetime of carefully repeated nail strengthening steps.

 

Your hair will grow mousy and long-the perfect nest for underground vermin to fornicate in.

 

Skin so carefully scrubbed, exfoliated, cleansed, toned and bronzed will become sallow and brittle as an old road map.

 

Years of surreptitious pelvic floor exercises will mean nothing as beetles and worms munch their way into the dead cavity.

 

And all your careful regulation and release of waste will seem ridiculous when your body turns to noxious sludge.

 

It's the ultimate revenge on years of systematic and intense torture.

But wait! Dead is the new alive!

Get the latest look unfresh from the runway to wow them at work,

step out at night and spark up your love life.

 

Forget heroin chic, forget anorexia- the word from the top

fashionistas in Europe is DEAD FEET DECOLLETAGE.

 

The style is easy to emulate. Just follow our five-step guide

and you'll soon be having your fifteen minutes six feet under.

 

 

Step One: Grow as a person

 

How to do it:                

No more pesky shaving, waxing, plucking, tweezing or

cutting- let the hair grow free, and your nails too.

 

Why he’ll love you more: 

What guy didn’t love Chewbacca as a kid?

 

 

Step Two: Embrace your darkside

 

How to do it:  

They only come out at night -vampires that is. You

however are never coming out again.

 

Why he’ll love you more: 

Guys are intrigued by girls with mystery-what could be more

mysterious than residing in a box underground?

 

Step Three: Dead girls don't tell tales

 

How to do it:                   

It's easy to stop that nasty gossip when a rat is chewing

on your face.

 

Why he’ll love you more:  

He'll respect you for your lack of nattering.

 

 

Step Four: Be cool

 

How to do it:                   

Once your heart stops and your blood runs cold you'll be

cool for eternity!

 

Why he’ll love you more:  

Cold hearts can't be broken- leaving him free to cheat,

pass you over for the guys and talk about your fat arse

as much as he likes!

 

                                   Step Five: Dead feet décolletage                                  

 

How to do it:                    

Match the tone of your dead feet with your décolletage

and face for that all-over translucent look.

 

Why he’ll love you more:  

Your pale skin and hollow eye sockets remind him of his

favourite female celebrity.
