I have never really enjoyed dressing up or doing my hair, painting my nails or wearing make up and I actively avoid looking in the mirror. I would rather go to the dentist than the hairdresser. I go for comfort and familiarity over trends and "fashion". If I find a pair of jeans I like, I tend to buy four pairs and then I don't have to bother buying them again for at least four years. I hate trying things on and I have loads of clothes that I like to look at but never wear. Who knows when they may come in useful? I have had the same hairdryer since I left school and got my first job. I have had my Penelope Chilvers cowboy boots resoled and reheeled 5 times since I bought them 7 years ago because I like them, they are comfortable, they work and I don't need another pair of boots. My mascara - well, it has seen better days an I have had the same two lipsticks for a zillion years.
Why oh why did I get two daughters who have hair straighteners and hair curlers (Huh?), hot brushes, wardrobes full of "trendy" clothes, spend hours in the bathroom and never appear without full make?
Haha :) You may score 8 and I may score 43, but we have similar opinions with regard to clothes and make-up! Well, no , I actually beat you in not even owning a mascara or lipstick :D
ReplyDeleteThis one is down to age and culture - methinks! I rarely see teen girls who are not glammed up. I wonder how they can be bothered.

It is my fault, it is obviously contagious. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnd mine, too...
ReplyDeleteI'm in the Charlotte and Cathy team on this one too! I don't wear make up except on special occasions (like, twice a year?), and I live in jeans and a hoodie most of the time. I am missing a girl gene somewhere, I swear.
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is why do you need both straighteners and curlers? Sigh....
