Volcano Goddess of Clear Skin

I would make a really craptacular Muslim or Mormon or person of any other belief system that requires or recommends that their women wear extremely modest clothing and/or cover up completely.

Actually, I should rephrase that… up until now, I would have been fine in one of those religions or cultures because my skin has been so hideous for the past two decades that I have never had the opportunity to wear non-nun clothing without feeling self-conscious and embarrassed that my back, chest, and shoulder acne would completely gross out any on-looker.

And the reason I’d make a really awful covered-up person? Because I’m finally at the point where I could go on a halter-top, spaghetti-strap, backless, frontless, shit-I-should-just-skip-the-top shopping spree, and Holy Crap, I’ve never been so excited to be able to shop before!

World, thanks to Accutane, my skin looks and feels FREAKING AMAZING! I still have a little under two months to go, but the difference is incredible. For probably the first time ever, I can actually leave my house without some form of concealer on my face, and I’m getting brave enough to consider wearing tops that show off a little skin on my back for social dance settings (and not just as part of a costume, where I’m far enough from the audience for them to see just how imperfect my pale skin has always been).

Seriously, LOOK AT THE SKIN ON MY FACE IN THIS PICTURE (since, you know, the lovely Haleakala Volcano isn’t interesting at all)… sure, I’m wearing sunglasses and the rest of me is covered, but I’m not wearing any makeup AT ALL, and my skin is actually smooth and clear in bright sunshine. I could cry.

I am still mystified by what a big effing deal Accutane supposedly is. Like every drug, it has its side effects, but mine have been so minor that it has certainly been worth every 30mg pill I’ve downed with a bottle of rum alongside my nightly bowl of lithium thus far.

I can’t wait to post the before and after shots… but alas, you have to wait. Volcanic eruptions take time to clear up, and my skin needs a little more time before I’m willing to bare it all.
