Are you VAIN? I am........

I'm an atractive young thing but this is only because i spend at least an hour getting ready each morning.

I shower and wash my hair, then I will spend a good 30 minutes putting my make-up on. I don't cake it on, i just like to take my time as i enjoy doing it. Then i'll pick an outfit and choose jewlery, shoes etc.

Yes i'm a yummy mummy and proud of it! (my ds is 3 months old and is usually sleeping or playing on his mat whilst i get ready)

I'm fully aware that i'm vain but not in a snotty i'm better than you way, i just enjoy looking put-together.

I just want to know if anyone else will admit to it!

For know sweetheart, you wait until your baby gets more demanding. (Vi, runs of laughing manically)

I am vain, I like looking good. BUT I take 5 minutes on my makeup and choose my clothes the night before. I normally just clip my hair up. I have 4 kids.

I wear no make up, but I am very vain.

I used to have the time for all that and now I can pull myself together from nuts to bolts in 15 mins. My DD learning to pull herself along (and pull things down) made all the difference to my clock speed.

Yes, I'm still vain, but quick as well!

I am probably a bit vain - it's hard to be this hot without a bit of vanity creeping in tbh.

I also love the process of getting ready, I love doing my make-up, it's a bit like a mini ....oh buggeration...whats that word where you go all quiet and empty your head??

Whatever, thats what it's like - it's a de-stress.

[tongue out]

you know, Jeremy, you should be proud of your beauty! If you've got it, flaunt it.

Some people enjoy boring things like crafts or sewing or knitting.

But you know, what a drag compared to the art of geisha makeup?

JeremyVile · 27/02/2008 00:39

Proud?
You better believe it!

My fake online beauty brings me immense joy.

BoysOnToast · 27/02/2008 00:45

hey, beauty comes from within you know [and other platitudes]

im quite vain sometimes as it goes. scrub up alright. other times i look much like a vagrant. its good to keep em guessing i reckon
