[Grin] Makeup For All Genders Skill-Share & Also An Organizing Meeting!!!

[Jesse Ide]

Hey all!!!

Tomorrow is Friday! And I'm just /grinning* /to remind you of what that 
means!

*This Friday @ 5pm in the Center for Feminisms:
_Makeup For All Genders: A Skill-Share Space
_*/Sponsored by the Gender-Identity Resource Network

/This is an event for people who love makeup and people who are curious 
about makeup to talk about makeup and makeup skills in a space that is 
safe and supportive for people of all genders. Because this group is so 
new, it's BYOM (Bring your own makeup). If you're comfortable sharing 
makeup, then that's great for you, but it's perfectly fine if you just 
want to keep your makeup for your own face because of the hygiene and 
health concerns that come with sharing stuff that touches the pores of 
your face. It's a /skill /share, so you can still talk about makeup and 
demonstrate (on yourself) your tips and techniques regardless of 
whatever else you do or do not share. I'll be bringing like, 3/4s of a 
bottle of rubbing alcohol for sanitizing stuff.

Because of the space we're trying to make, we want to ask that you don't 
talk about who went to this event or what they did. No gossiping about 
how wacky someone looked trying to apply makeup to themself for the 
first time or how you didn't know person X secretly had a large makeup 
collection or how person Y showed up and just sat there and did nothing. 
Try and be supportive of makeup newbies and respectful of the makeup 
gurus and understanding that for some people entering this space might 
be incredibly terrifying and they might have different ways of 
participating in the space. And please don't make assumptions about 
anyone's identity based on whether or not they attend this event or how 
they present themselves or anything else. This event is open and welcome 
to allies.

Also we'll have pizza! Probably not enough considering how many people 
say that they're attending on the event page 
<https://www.facebook.com/events/645608812141956/> but eating pizza 
would ruin your lipstick anyway so like maybe most people will opt-out 
of eating pizza??? It's gonna be 2 pizzas, a smaller vegan pizza, and 
some fries, so if you need more than a slice to be satisfied, it's 
perfectly okay to leave early to catch Saga dinner or something. There's 
no set end time besides however late people feel like staying.
/
/This event is likely to happen again in future semesters if it goes 
well, and then the next time it could be even better!

Speaking of organizing events and budget stuff...
*
**This Friday @ 3:30pm in the CFF Conference Room/**/*
*_Gender-Identity Resource Network Organizing Meeting!_*
*
*We'll be making more progress on *The Box Program *(we should probably 
give it a fun name)**and also start organizing our first *All-Campus 
event!* (And maybe make more progress on the determining the 
possibilities of that super exciting second event??? With that person 
whose name rhymes with Yaverne Rox???) We'll also discuss ideas for the 
next social-space event. At the end we'll collect all of the week's 
relevant events and announcements into our weekly Gender-Identity 
Resource Network Digest!

These meetings are open to everyone who wants to help out and attending 
one meeting doesn't commit you to attending every meeting or to 
attending the makeup event. We can really use all the help we can get! 
Also, by showing up you'll be here early so you'll probably get first 
dibs on the pizza when it gets there at the beginning of the 
aforementioned event. The meetings are super chill, I promise, and the 
more people who attend the more we're able to do with this group. Right 
now we're sort of at capacity of how much we can do with how many people 
tend to show up to these meetings.

<3 you all,
Jess

/*I bet every few years from every new signer will make that pun not 
realizing how done to death it will be by then, and thus the pun will 
never die. /
/**It's by the kitchen! if someone tells you we're not here, they're 
lying to you. If you take the entrance titled "Wellness Center" and walk 
straight ahead you'll get to the conference room. If you take the 
entrance titled "Center For Feminisms" walk straight ahead through 
another door, past the staircase on your left, and take a  right turn 
around the corner and continue straight. We're on the other end of the 
double-doors in the lounge but there's antoher meeting in the lounge so 
using those doors would be disruptive to them. /
