This is going to sound mean but I don't mean it that way. It's just how different we are. But my friends and I don't really get the highly artificial look of nails, make-up, and hair color that many women in the South have.

Can't explain it. It just is. My mother (I'm the Southern blonde PP) wore false eyelashes to work every day for YEARS. Got a manicure once a week. She took me to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time when I was 13. To this day, I cannot leave the house with no makeup on. I don't lounge around in sweatpants. If that's the way you're raised, that's what you grow up thinking is normal. And all our moms raised us that way! It's just as weird to me to imagine going out in public with no makeup, hair a mess, wearing ratty old sweatpants as it is for you to imagine doing all this, I'm sure.

It's not the makeup (I wear make up)
It's not the manicure (I regularly get manicures, but natural/clear polish/buff)
It's not the clothes (I think I'm somewhat presentable)
It's not dyeing the hair (I do too)

It's how MUCH of it there is. Inch long blood-red nails, hair so blonde it's almost white, extremely thick make-up. Maybe you aren't like this, but I work with several women (young women) who are.

Oh yeah, no. I'm not like that.

That's because those kinds of women (I'm guessing) were the sorority/beauty queen types. I'll never forget a girl I went to high school with--she wore stage makeup as an everyday makeup. Super thick foundation, brightly painted on lips.

....but she wasn't blonde.
