rachelblacks: look around. what do you see? people in costumes, horns, false jewels, adorning themselves in tiny layers of illusion. they stand up straighter, suck in their stomachs, say things they don’t mean, indulge in flattery. they commit a thousand small acts of deception, lying to each other, lying to themselves, drinking to the point of delusion to make it easier. this is a night of compacts, between the seers and the seen, a night when people enter false bargains willingly, hoping to be duped and to dupe in turn for the pleasure of feeling brave or sexy or beautiful or simply wanted—no matter how fleetingly. -- source link
