Dressing up is interesting. For two sort of opposite reasons. First is the idea of outer reflecting inner (micro cosmos & macro cosmos) and affecting on our mood & energy & self esteem from the outside. Playing roles, being someone, feeling pretty inside out.. And then at the same time understanding that we are NOT the reflections in the mirrors. We are the one who looks. We are more than the ways we define ourselves with our clothes & style & ideas.
I used to build myself on outer things. I used to think all those things made me who I am. But they were only masks. Fun & amusing & beautiful & needful.. but masks nevertheless. I wonder if the shamans of old times used to dress in another gender's clothes because they needed to get rid of these self images build from the outside? Played with them? They became chameleons and shape shifters because they did not want to tie themselves to any form..
