Four Easy Ways To Know You're Wearing Makeup

Yesterday JUBILEE was privileged to dance, sit, holler, and skateboard in front of the generous lenses of Andi Dean. She's helping us with a photo campaign that puts an image to the justice restoration we hope to see in our day (as a gift to us, ya'll). Our time with her this weekend was one piece of that delicious pie.

It had been a while since I was a satyr in my high school's production of Midsummer Night's Dream and worn any kind of makeup (thanks Pacquiao!). For anyone like me who doesn't go under the brush often, here's a few ways to know you've got some extra help in the mug department.

1. You look well rested. Hey, where did those shiners go? It's amazing what a little makeup will do for lack of sleep. Coffee might give your brain a boost, but you won't hide it without a little base (did I say that right?).
2. You feel guilty scratching your face. Someone else offers their time and expertise smoothing out those edges. That's their art. Would you go make your own version of your friend's painting? What if that painting is on your face?
3. You want to throw a party with cake and hummus and all your friends, especially that one girl you think is awesome. "Are you wearing base?" "Yeah, only 'cause we had this photo shoot." Who knows when you'll have professional make up done again? Gotta make it count.
4. It hurts to wash your face. In the eyes. Any tips on that?

Advance!

Hi all. Today is a really big day. While it contains the same number of hours as yesterday, today is the 2nd day of JUBILEE's meeting to advance. We're toasting in thankfulness to the good things that have happened. We're looking down the road at where this justice-tron could go. AND. We're playing bocce.

If you think to pray for us today, we'd appreciate it. We love playing music and fighting slavery and want to see this thing work. Mostly though, we want to stay as physically, spiritually, and emotionally healthy as possible along the way. Thanks friends.

Lastly, for some sunny afternoon reading (this day looks like it's gonna be gorgeous) check out KEXP's Review of our CD Release.

Wear JUBILEE Tie to Work Day



In addition to Be Electrific Day, Pro Sports Wives Day, National Shut-In Visitation Day, Satisfied Staying Single Day, and White Shirt Day...

Tim promotes February 11 as "Wear Your JUBILEE Tie to Work Day." Now, you may look me in the internet eyes and retort, "but Steven, I thought that was every day," and frankly, I thank you, but Tim knows sometimes we need one day a year to kick our necks back in to shape. Let it be known! There's still seven hours and ten minutes left. Go get your ties! If you need to get one still, we'll be having a make-up day later this spring.

And also, smile at someone you pass on the street, but only in a way that maintains your safety.

Tim, we salute you!
