I wish I were glamourous

[giddykipper]

I wish I could be arsed.

I've just had a bath and shaved the forest off my legs, they don't look much better though, still covered in bruises and insect bites, not fit for a skirt. My eyebrows need to be attacked. I have nice smart clothes but I always think I must look like I'm not putting the full effort in. Make up always seems to have disappeared by mid morning (how does one keep it intact all day?). I never remember to put jewellery on. I was in SpaceNK last week buying some face products (I do make an effort there) and the woman serving me looked flawless, beautiful make up and hair. I guess she doesn't have a toddler helping her to dry her hair in the morning.

Do your hair at night when the toddler is in bed ?

People work for hours at getting that "haven't made an effort" look.

Am sure your natural beauty is all the va va voom you need. Make up, bah. Who needs it.

Make up which lasts beyond mid morning is either applied too thickly, or reapplied just before mid morning.

The absolutely brilliant thing about not being glamorous is that ageing means dick all to you.

I actively pity the gorgeous pulchritude blessed amongst us - they have a long way to fall (snigger). It's better to have a brain and/ or personality which weather the test of time better

"the gorgeous pulchritude blessed amongst us"

love it!! who needs foundation with a vocab like that!!??

That's what the ugly girls say

OOOOh - that's not passive aggressive at all. Know for a fact that I am not fugly so can laugh this off!

It was a joke but obviously I am far too pretty to have a sense of humor too

I do think it is sort of tragic however to be obsessed with appearance (this doesn't apply to OP - not insinuating that). Kind of shallow and sad. Sorry! It's so unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Certainly pride has a role - who wants to go out looking like a scarecrow, but it's about a healthy sense of proportion. How do the glamour aficionados deal with wrinkles and sagging - inevitable with ageing? Must be effin hard! Think they need to re-evaluate.

Ah you are going for a rise there...not going to get one (zzzzzzz...someone nudge me, am nodding off)

Ooh I posted this then went to bed. Have made more of an effort today, wearing jewellery, found a sample of that Estee Lauder foundation which seems to work (although is a little like clay!). Have to wash my hair in the morning rather than evening as I get atrocious bed hair. Still feel a scruff though.
