The bareface project

Hello. I want to start something. Here’s my idea:
Welcome to the bareface project.
This is for women as we are – no added preservatives. Because we live in a world where our faces aren’t good enough and get covered in paint or reshaped under a knife.
Because we live in a world where our bodies aren’t good enough and we get bombarded with suggestions for surgeries we don’t need. Because in the end, who we are is erased, and remade in an image that purports to be something better.


This is not a site for women to shout out their booty is spectacular. Not that it can’t be: just that this is not the point.
This site is for women to feel good enough just the way they are, with no obligation to be beautiful. Because most of the time, you’re doing something else.

Send me your photos at domillette (at) hotmail (dot) com. Add whatever cutlines you would like. The idea is to look like your natural self and realize that it looks fine, but doesn’t have to be red-carpet anything.
I started with:
Me: Dominique, 42. No makeup, no lipo, no implants. Tons of attitude. Eats fries. Likes beer. Owns: a bike, camping gear, skates, snowshoes.
