At least it makes for some entertaining stories! :rolleyes:
I attract two types: creepy old men and hippie dudes. (There was also a few highschoolers, which was awkward.) It got bad enough that one of my coworkers literally introduced me to her friends as, "This is [Feathyr], she's a queen and...
Yeah, but a lot of people just don't have the proper touch for it these days. :( They don't put much effort into it. No professionalism.

Masking fluid is, essentially, liquid rubber latex that you use to protect parts of a painting (i.e., highlights) when working on them. You shouldn't shake it, because the latex will form into a giant rubber blob and...
That mindset is frighteningly common among adults, too. I can't tell you the number of times in my life that I've been shamed for having forearm hair, big feet, a small (borderline flat) chest, a 'deep' voice, not wearing makeup, being slightly muscular, and 'too thin'. The sources ranged from...
People assuming they know your political or social views based on your music taste.
Just because I'm a fan of so-and-so's music does NOT mean I share or endorse their viewpoints.
