I know everyone wonders at some point…how do accountants and makeup artists mix? I mean, you’d think they would never have anything to do with each other. Well, what if there was a musical all about accountants? Or rather…something else, I can’t remember the exact job titles. Like, something to do with moving stuff. Conveyancing solicitors? Melbourne has those, right? I think it’s something to do with moving houses, so I guess we must have them because people are always moving house. Seriously, every other weekend one of my friends texts me and is all like ‘we’re moving house, can people come help, we have pizza!’ Yeah, like that’s gonna tempt me into carrying dusty boxes. No thanks, Shaylene. You can carry an extra box, in my honour.
Anyway, conveyancing and stuff. I do work around local theatres, giving makeup tutorials and also doing actual makeup when there’s a show on. It keeps me pretty busy, but this is kind of an extra challenge. What kind of makeup do I give an accountant to make them look more like an accountant on stage? Or a conveyancing person, whatever. There’s this new musical that’s supposed to be coming out soon, and it’s all about conveyancers having dreams or something. I’ve been told that my makeup has to REALLY make these people look like conveyancers, so I’m at a bit of a loose end. I’ve googled ‘makeup for conveyancers’ and there’s nothing coming up. I guess this must be a completely new thing. And don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of being a pioneer, but…wow, I’m gonna have to give this one some thought. How do you make someone look MORE like they spend their days sorting through housing paperwork and stuff? That’s a tough cookie, but I could make my career. I’m pretty sure there are some conveyancers around Collingwood. I could just go into the office…pretend to be a client. Observe them closely. All of that…jazz.
