Florescent Compulsion

by Tracee Sioux on October 29th, 2007

Confession: I have a black-head compulsion under florescent lighting.

There are many beauty and fashion crimes I commit - giving up on my bikini area, blatant visible panty line, bra strap leakage, and roots for days to name a few - but, I’m not repentant about most of them.

But, this one - the black-head and zit popping in public restrooms or dressing rooms - I hate myself a little every time I indulge.  

I can’t help myself. By compulsion, I mean it’s like an addiction. I get under that florescent lighting and I no longer care about the hand washing I’m attempting or the pair of pants I’m trying on. I care only about one thing - getting that black head while I can still see it.

plitp. plisp. ptipth. plick. splip. pthip.

A secret little compulsion no one has to know about. No harm done.

Except that when I’m finished I take a step away from the mirror and notice that my face is red, sore and splotchy. Then I have to make a run for the car and hope no one points and screams Look at her! She must have been popping her pimples in the dressing room!”
