How To Do Viking Women Makeup

As the title suggests, this blog mail will be almost vikings and makeup. Just keep in mind that lack of respect is something that I practice non take lightly. It has cypher to practice with makeup or no makeup, actually.

As you may well know, in that location are many pictures of me in dissimilar viking related groups on facebook. Let it exist said that I have never granted permission for such utilize. Every now and so, I get emails from fans who want to make me aware of these things. At present, this happens then often that I cannot spend more time on having these photos taken downwardly. If I ever get tempted to view my "stolen" photos in these groups, I often regret it because of the comments that people have left under them. Don't go me incorrect, Near comments are nice, only some are not then nice. The not so squeamish ones are most of the time about my utilise of makeup – questioning my authenticity, my nobility and my title(!). This upsets me, equally I take never even claimed to be a reenactor, this is simply who I am, this is my personal image. Certain, I could become downward to the same level and indicate out various things near the very same people who wrote shit about me, questioning their actuality on different terms, but that is simply not my style.

Even if I was a reenactor, why should I not "be immune" to wear makeup?

In my opinion, the whole 'wearing makeup is non being authentic' thing is just as well airheaded. Both men and women have worn makeup for thousands of years – in different cultures. Bling on apparel, bling in hair – bling everywhere. TheVikings travelled all around the globe, and brought dorsum many treasures such as silk garments and jewelry. Why would you ever call up that they wouldn't bring makeup with them? Vikings were vain people who liked to look skilful, just as people do today. The human race is not as inventive as we similar to think. The world is turning – changing, and irresolute back again.

"Any civilization who carried ear spoons and combs on their belts, had immaculate hair-dos for boxing, and used hair dye/bleach surely put colour on their faces… come up on!" ~Ásvör Álfsinsbarn

Most reenactors are very cool people, and I respect their work. Nevertheless, there are those who want sources on EVERYTHING. And if there is none, then" information technology surely cannot be authentic". I refuse to believe that people did non have their ain personal style back in the good old days too. We meet how creative they were with everything else, don't we?

Allow'southward take a moment to remember that not all things have been discovered, not all graves accept been opened.We do not know everything.At that place is mystery in history and none of us tin merits to know the whole truth. Either way, one thing is for sure – I will non sit effectually and wait for someone to give me a green sign to do what I want. I have my personal manner and I will stone it until I am dead and all the way into Valhalla. Come, watch me trip the light fantastic, No one will ever exist able to change me, or dictate me. Actually, do y'all recall that your opinion about my looks are and so of import that I should change myself to meet your expectations?
Hail to the no!

Victoria Gugenheim merely left me these words on my facebook status about the subject:
viktoria

Now, I think that the reason why some people choose to rant well-nigh makeup is simply because they are feeling threatened, and feel the demand to bring others downwardly to make themselves experience better. I do not feel this need, I only feel the need for mead. (ps – stay articulate of too much mead, it is strong stuff, even for fellow heathens)

"The only makeup I wearable is the blood of my falles enemies" ~Jan Tore

My bulletin is simple;
If you don't want to wear makeup, don't. If you lot practice want to clothing makeup – do so. No need to claim to know everything about the viking age – Cuz y'all don't.

I thought the viking surround would be an including i, not about pointing fingers at each other in order to "be better than each other". Permit's be respectful towards each others' personal styles.Be wild shieldmaidens and don't permit anyone try to tell yous what to do with your appearance, because fuck that shit, and allow's have fun.

Permit's celebrate diverseness to avoid conformity.
