Cutie Pox

I really just signed up to post my plight. I seemed to have contracted the dreaded CUTIE POX! Either that or my face is launching a PR campaign for sunspot supremacy!

 

It all started one day when I woke up and noticed a very very light sun spot blemishing my otherwise untarnished cheek. I bemoaned it's existence to my boyfriend who, after closer inspection, burst out laughing! "It's NOT funny!" I whined, searching the fridge for the lemon juice. "But Honey!" he continued, "Its in the shape of a HEART!" Confused and curious, I went back into the bathroom to inspect my new spot farther. It was, in fact, shaped like a perfectly symmetrical heart. My boyfriend adores it, has declared it to be a cutie mark, and wishes that I wouldn't try so hard to remove it.

 

Fast forward a few weeks. Sunscreen application had gone up 100%. Regular application of lemon and mint juice has lightened things up a bit, but I can still see a shadow of it. In fact, my skin is getting pretty pale in general despite the fact that I'm outside a lot. Then I see it... on my OTHER cheek... a new sun spot.. IN THE SHAPE OF A FLOWER! A friggin' perfect DAISY! So, I must admit, I'm laughing at this point. On one cheek I'm sporting a heart. On the other I'm donning a daisy. What are the odds?! So I either have contracted the rare and mysterious CUTIE POX! Or my face is running a propaganda campaign against me. Anyhow... I'm off to the store to buy even stronger sunblock to guard against the inevitable inclusion of stars and rainbows... honestly I don't think my face has that much real estate left!! If this doesn't work, my only other option is zebra witchcraft... Halp!!

 

(And now to drop the science: the most likely scenario that would cause these highly symmetrical spots to appear in a similar range and spacing would be the light scattering through my strong prescription glasses, which have lenses of two different strengths... OR MAYBE ITS PONIES!!)

Thank you for the warm welcome. Maybe it is aliens....... O.o! A bit about me: I am an independent artist of multiple disciplines. I do enjoy bike commuting, which is where I get most of my sun exposure :/. I like the show and find it adorable, although I can honestly say that it hasn't influenced my art much. I have been trying to recruit co-workers... little luck... lolz!

 

Why o why am I afflicted with the cutie pox?! I wouldn't even begin to guess what my "special talents" are as indicated by the iconography of the daisy and heart... It would be more awesome if I was sporting a hammer or a torch! That might make sense... but flowers and hearts?! Just file that under the craft section of a hobby store with all the other over-used, unimaginative and ubiquitous leavings of lazy design. XP....
