False eyelashes on the school run?

AIBU to think this is excessive? And when worn in conjunction with 4 inch heels, full fake tan, clothes suitable for a nightclub and hairpieces AIBU to think it's laughably over the top for the school run?

Said woman has told me she gets up at 5am every school day to get ready.

Pag I read your 13:15 post as saying

"Are we allowed to bully people wearing anal pyjamas or not."

Yes. Yes we are!

madmomma · 09/05/2012 14:45

yeah some larfs'd be good. This is shit.

Lyingwitch, once again you are reading things into my posts that were simply not there. No sneery judgements from here.

Anyway, think what you like. I know how I feel and how my mind works, you are just making judgements about me and assuming you know my intentions. I'll leave you to think whatever you like, I'm really not going to lose any sleep over your opinions.

I'm not doing the school run yet but I can't wait. I'm gonna wear a peep hole bra nipple tassels slippers and a tea cosy on my head. If anyone complains then I can be sure it was me.

At Aquafit there is one lady with enormous eyelashes in the pool. She looks like the transvestite barman on Benidorm!

cocolepew · 09/05/2012 15:58

I'm sorry pickles I wear that for the afternoon pick up, maybe you could change the tea cosy for something else?

cocolepew · 09/05/2012 16:00

False eyelashes seem to be the norm now, is it not an expensive habit? How many times can you re-use them?

cocolepew · 09/05/2012 16:02

Oooh I've just got an email saying I've been picked to try M&S shapewear. Watch out school gates here I come

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 09/05/2012 16:04

LMAO @ Cocolepew! Is it not a little cold for the shapewear? I would wait until nearer the end of term when it's warmer. And make sure you wear the 6 inch heels with it!

Oh don't worry about me, we're hardened against the cold weather over here, the sun only shines for 37 minutes every year.

I've always wanted a girdle mainly becaus the word girdle makes me laugh.

bibbitybobbitybunny · 09/05/2012 16:17

I would lurve to wear false lashes but I can't get the buggers to stay on, any lash wearers out there got any tips?

Mrsjay · 09/05/2012 16:22

spose if it makes her happy then whats the harm saying that i dont see the point in it and have seen a lot of women done up doing the day to day thing , saw a couple of women in floaty dresses/leggings doing the shop the other week , I personally hate the full face lashes style i dont think its that attractive , My friends 20 yr old looks like she is an extra IN the only way is essex , which in fact i blame for the over glam look

cocolepew · 09/05/2012 16:22

No more nails holds everything, in this house, in place Stepaway.

FarSideOfFuckingBalloons · 09/05/2012 16:23

Took ds2 swimming yesterday
Woman walks out of changing room, I'll give a brief description, shall I?

Mid forties, orange fake tan, thong bikini bottoms, barely covering her nipples top, eyelashes with glitter on, more make up than most 19 yo wear to a club and the most elaborate updo I've ever seen in my life.

She gets into the water, and proceeds to swim backstroke in a half sitting up position, her entire top half out of the water I can only presume to protect said updo, eyelashes and 7 inches of make up

Was I BU to think "what the actual fuck are you doing?"

No I was not.

LumpyLatimer · 09/05/2012 16:24

Oooo someone agreed with me: thanks Bib Grin

Pagwatch · 09/05/2012 16:25

My DD calls that granny breaststroke.
I want to master that. I want to swim wearing a turban and big black sunglasses like Liz Taylor.
I will look so cool.

Mrsjay · 09/05/2012 16:26

I think its the rather strong upperbody (with lifting the boxes) and healthy glow with being out and in the fresh air all day gives them the sexy glow ,
