Face Painting in Connecticut is like going to different Countries!

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while since I've blogged anything but I wanted to talk about my summer face painting at carnivals festivals and fairs. I live in St Petersburg, FL from the months of September to June and then I travel to the state I was born and raised in Connecticut.  Even though I am a face painter in Florida, I've been face painting in Connecticut in the summer for the past two years now and it's really fascinating how this state has continued to keep some of these towns in very large ethnic groups. In the Tampa area, where I live most of the year, everything is all mixed up. There's a lot of everyone everywhere! But in Connecticut it's very different and here's why. There are entire towns that are just mostly Irish. Some towns are primarily made up of Italians, others are African American, Puerto Rican towns and even Swedish! I know that there are entire Lebanese communities in the Danbury area.

All these little ethnic towns have festivals and they are a lot of fun! I face paint in Danbury CT at the Lebanese festival and when you're there, it's like being in their country! They all speak primarily Arabic. They like to dance and smoke their hookahs. The food is authentic Lebanese and to DIE for. All these little festivals really are like taking a little mini vacation to another country! It's always great for someone to broaden their horizons a little and take a vacation to somewhere else and try something new.

Next time you see an ad for an ethnic festival, don't turn away from it! Go check it out and meet some new people, learn some new things about other people's cultures. I guarantee you will be a better person from the experiences you get. Mingle with the world and have fun. I do and I hope you do too!

Does Face Painting Change Lives?

One of the best things about being a face painter is the connection you get with children. I know how impressionable they are. I can feel when one of them is not a happy child. I was face painting in Tampa Bay, FL not too long ago when a young girl of about 10 years old came into my tent, eyes lowered, asking for a face painting. Whenever a child does not look right at me, I know that child is shy or not happy for some reason. This little girl, I sensed was not happy. By the looks of her body language I was pretty sure she gets picked on or bullied, which happens a lot to introvert children. 
So, I sit her down in the Director's chair and go to work. She said she didn't know what she wanted so I asked her if she would like me to face paint something beautiful on her? and she says, yes. I start by face painting beautiful flowers on her. Then, I have to ask her to sit up and look at me and I have to continue to ask her to stop slouching and please look up at me so I can paint. I add some swirls, a princess crown on her forehead and give her some pretty pink lips. I finish off the face painting with a little glitter and a rhinestone or two. 

Finally, I am done. It's hard to paint a child who keeps looking down, but I never gave up. Then I show her the mirror, and this is where the magic happened: As she looked into the mirror with that same sad face, still slouched down and face looking downwards, she sees her face painting and she starts to sit up taller, she has the biggest smile I have ever seen!. She turns and looks straight at me. Then she looks back in the mirror, she is sitting straight up now, head held high and say's "I am so beautiful", as if this is the very first time in her life she has ever noticed how pretty she really is. She thanks me and leaves my tent with her head still high and that smile still on her face. She even has a little strut in her step! Her mom turns around and looks at me as she leaves and mouths the words "thank you". 

What just transpired filled my heart and brought tears to my eyes. You never know when you need a face painter! We may just may change a child's life for the better!
