Nothing wrong with being pale ^_^ I never get out to tan, and when I do I get a nice natural tan, though I'm sure it's not very healthy to do so.. but in all I really don't feel like layin nekkid in a tanning bed to get a really even tan. So in all I think my arms and face are good enough XD Not like anyone would see anything else.

People have a very basic cruelty to them. Especially in the area of beauty... think about it. I refuse to put fake nails on my fingers (they do a lot of damage... glue goes under your nail... ick) but I do enjoy getting manicures or pedicures. But they hurt! And then some people wax or pluck their eyebrows. Ouch again!!
Then you have tanning beds. I refuse to go into one but when I accompany a friend to the place of business they all immediately want to rush me over to one. I cannot tell you the number of times I've heard that if I start slow, 5 minutes at a time, I can use a tanning bed to get a tan. So if I start off only damaging my skin a little at a time I can eventually work up to a maximum damage? No... that doesn't sound like skin cancer waiting to happen... lovely plan.
Regardless, Nicole Kidman never looked tanned so why should I bother? All in all, it almost sucks to be a girl except that it doesn't. After all the torment and pain and discomfort we have to go through, we get to be a finished product. A walking, talking work of art from the carefully shaped nails and painted toes, the graceful arch of eyebrow, the carefully applied make up with just a faint scent of perfume or lotion. Not to mention the things we can do depending on length of our hair, the various pieces of jewerly and the things a flattering dress can do for a girl. I was taking note of this in the mall last night when I was finishing my Christmas shopping. Granted this was me without a lick of make up (I've been in a make up free stage for the last few months. It only gets worn for going to clubs or to see my extended family), hair pulled back, simple clothes with an old coat over it and the only real effort I had made were to wear a pair of boots that add an inch or so to my height.
I was by myself and I love to shop alone, but eating alone lacks any appeal to me. Luckily the food court reminded me strongly of a crowded cafeteria back in school. So I had people to watch, noise to listen to and time to rest my aching feet and my hands from carrying shopping bags around. It left me wondering though... women are brought up with the expectation to change what they look like into something more acceptable. Why is make up necessary to go out. And when you do go out without it, its like to walmart or someplace and honest to goodness I saw someone walking around walmart in bedroom slippers the other day. People wear pajamas sometimes even! Why does it have to be an extreme? I personally think a girl should feel as comfortable without the frills as they do with. Men that I know don't wear make up and they seem perfectly at ease with who they are. C'mon! Equality!
Then again, I'm in a no make up and warm clothes phase where my biggest necessity is big shoes and a little confidence. Give me another couple months and I'll be trying to do that thing with the eye makeup that they do on Nichole Kidman (love her) in Moulin Rouge once more. But, for the moment, down with the frills!
Well... I'm returning home now. My brother (He is home! He is home!) is supposed to meet me at my mother's house and I'm stalling for fear of a small, darkly colored oppossum that was on my porch the other day. I may have screamed loud enough to cause a heart attack... not sure.

That's the thing. I take pride in doing all of that stuff that irritates you, my Nym. I love being feminine and pretty and a walking piece of art, so to speak. I'm good at it. ^^
Though I don't like tanning beds either. I went once with a friend, and they freaked me out. I know they're supposed to be warm and relaxing, and you can listen to music, but not even my Something Corporate could calm me down. I guess being claustrophobic doesn't help when you're nearly sealed inside of the things. Plus, I'm so paranoid about skin cancer anyway. I tan in the summer naturally (with too much sun screen), and if I get really irritated in winter about it, I'll invest in a good self-tanner (I think the few extra bucks are worth it so you don't turn orange or streaky).

Okay.. so in a way I am like Nymmy-mun.. I don't wear make-up.. why? Cuz I break out.. plus my daddy pounded into my head that "Make up is for ugly people" and when I asked him why mommmy wore make up he simply said "Because she's a goddess" -Giggles- My mom and dad were so inlove.. even when I was a teen. Blah, but I love my hair..  Would that surprise anyone? Hehe. My hair was blonde, then blue, then blonde, then blue.. then blonde.. then honey blonde.. and now.. medium brown with my natural color.. lol. Long long long process, plus, with all that dye I would highly doubt it is healthy for my hair. Ah well.. I was a crazy teen, what can I say? But no.. make up = evil ^_^ |

I like make up. I don't coat it on, but I think a little enhances your features.
I <3 Sephora!!

Hmm... not so much irritates as just isn't done lately. I'm going through my completely natural look. It is because at work I talk on the phone or the radio all day and it seems silly to make an effort. I'll do this until I stop feeling depressed at the late of effort I put into myself and start dressing in more than jeans and sweatshirts and going around with my hair pulled back. Or if I go to visit Brian anytime soon... I use my accessories to add a bit of flare to make up for it. Typically I don't wear much jererly but I have been wearing my necklace and switching rings around for the past few months. My green amber ring is the favorite... though my garnet ring is adored too. I bought them in helen (mountain town in GA with a lot of little shops, tubing down the chattahoochee and a german flair) this summer... they got them from an estate sale so they feel all unique.
Merry Christmas all!!!!!
