[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just attended a prestigious national panel discussion in DC. The three women on the panel were think tankers and academics. None of them had done a thing with their hair and had no makeup on. Yet, they were so badass, so brilliant, so warm yet in complete command of the subject matter and the discussion. I was in awe. They were not unattractive either. [/quote]

And? I’ll paraphrase my comment above: in certain circles, it appears makeup is looked down upon. Or no makeup is celebrated. Don’t know if that happens in other towns.[/quote]

NP. I work in academia, and plenty of women do wear make-up and pay attention to their hair and clothing, especially when they are presenting, speaking, being interviewed, representing their institution, etc. It varies, but I would say it is more unusual for someone to appear on a panel with no effort on their appearance. It is not “frowned upon” either way, either to make an effort or not, but I think more women tend to make an effort in those situations. [/quote]
