13:12 - HIGH FIVE!

[Anonymous]

In high school, I dressed very fashionable and always wore makeup. When I went to college, not so much makeup and clothing not as fashionable. Finally hit graduate school and makeup and fashionable clothing were the kiss of death! No one would take you seriously. Once out in the real world, I haven't been able to get back into that mode, esp. with two toddlers.

Because it's the culture. Move to NY, LA or Miami if you want a style city. Or back south!

I do. I feel better when I do. On days that I look sloppy I feel bad. But, not to troll even further...I'm used to looking pretty. I like to be the prettiest or at least top 3 in a room. Maybe if there wasn't much I could do about my looks I'd feel differently.

Because we're too busy doing things that actually matter.

Oh, my God. That will all tank when you go through menopause. Then what?

"Good grief. Yes, you southerns are skinnier, better looking and just better people. "

And.they.have.the.best.schools.

No, dummy, they have the best manners, just like OP's.

My husband agrees, and I get hit on a lot despite my ponytail and no makeup. It's called being comfortable with yourself, try it sometime.

Totally agree. You can't buy confidence at Nordstrom, though so many seem to try. Shame... it's the best accessory a woman can have.

Shame is the best accessory a woman can have?

I know! I wish I didn't find this so fun to watch, but I do.

But to answer "then what?", the answer is: injectables, fillers, neck lipo, a LifeStyle Lift (TM), botox for the crow's feet, and big sunglasses. They assume we don't notice and just think they look ... refreshed.

Seriously? You get all dolled up for the school carpool lane? That is just funny!

DC was rated as one of the fittest cities in the U.S. The least fit cities were in the South.

I'd rather be fit and naturally beautiful in my yoga pants and tank top, sporting my buff arms than covering up my muffin top with a designer frilly dress.

Oh god, not one of these threads again.

Southern women (and I'm from the south) think they look awesome with huge hair and heavy make-up. I don't know why. culture I guess. well, it's different here. deal with it or move. or just think you look better than everyone else while everyone else is making fun of you for your huge hair and wearing make-up in the car-pool line. be-otch.

Didn't we just have this thread, only it left out the Southern bit until later?

OP, I am fat and slovenly and if Jeff will help me find out where you are, I am going to stroll up and down your street until your pearls snap, worn out from all the clutching.
