I'm not beautiful
I can't quite claim pretty
And I'm over 11 so not happy with cute


I'm going to be suave. I am going to live a life of suave. I am certain I don't need a penis to do it and don't care if people think I do.

So suave it is.

You could be insouciant. You have never stuck me as suave. Sorry.

HoneyDragon beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but darn it if you want to be suave then go right ahead!

MrsTP

That's just a posh way of saying I am a klutz who colours in babies and consistently fucks up Hmm it may well be apt and true

I'll stick to suave thanks. That gives an aura of vague attractiveness and I can be charming and scintillating, I reckon. Suave is the way forward for me.

Scintillating is easy. Five minutes with any child covers one in glitter, which never goes away. Fukuyama has nothing on glitter. Scintillate away.

Insouciant means nonchalant/carefree/blithe, not clumsy/hapless.

Better than suave, which is, um, rather too smooth for my liking :)

What happened to awesome? Awesome is good. Suave makes me think of men in bowler hats.

Do what you like, but try looking in a dictionary first.

Suave is David Niven.

Insouciant is more early Audrey Hepburn.

Are you more of a David than an Audrey?

I want to be suave. Why do the Menz get all the good words?


Fanjo I shit you not. I looked down when you said that and indeed they were! Are you hiding in my kitchen?

"insouciant"

How do you even say that?

I'd also love to be soignee but I'm too weird-looking and scruffy.

Angelica Huston apparently once said to Erin O'Connor 'You may never be beautiful but you will always be magnificent'.

I'd take that but no one would ever use that word about me

Suave is great, HD!

Suave is behaviour, not appearance.

You are far too hard on yourself about your looks.
