Party Face

   "All that grace/ All that body/ All that face/ Makes me wanna party." Is a line from the bridge of Lana Del Ray's Young and Beautiful. I'm not on the massive Tumblr Lana fan train. I don't think sadness is particularly beautiful, and flower crowns are straight up impractical. Some of her songs are catchy, and being perpetually behind every trend by at least several weeks, I just started listening to Young and Beautiful and it has raised some important questions for me.

   The aforementioned line is particularly interesting for me. Like... I have had some suitors, but I don't know that my face has ever made anyone want to party. There are so many things that I strive for; elegance, cleverness, beauty, intelligence, dinner party etiquette, mystery, practical knowledge of the anatomy of basic household plumbing, fitness, coordination, sass etc. Am I now supposed to add "face that makes dudes want to party" to that list? 

   I don't know how I would respond to someone telling me that my face makes them want to party, even. I guess it would be a cool compliment, but where do you go from there? Is that before, or after you buy someone a drink? Or is that enough to launch right into a first date? Or is it a literal thing, like, festivities don't start until party face walks in? Thats a lot of pressure on one face.

    Also, lets dig right into a close reading, I mean, we've come this far! "All that face"... as opposed to only part of face. Like I've said, nobody has ever said that my face makes them want to party. So maybe I don't have a complete party face. Maybe I just have party cheeks, or party brows. My eyebrows deeeffffinitely have their own party sometimes, that much is certain. 

   I guess you've got to have the total face package to really make someone walk into a room, lay eyes upon you, and immediately begin to bust a move. It would be a super power. You'd be like the reverse Medusa.
