Face painters

Today I did not meet, but observed a couple in their mid-twenties sitting on the grass near Circular Quay. Both were sitting cross-legged and facing each other. Over the course of almost an hour, she painted his face expertly, transforming him into a magnificent tiger, complete with glittery eyebrows. When she was done, they both lit up cigarettes in a post-coital manner.
