Not wearing make-up.

I totally agree with this.

I don't wear make-up because I'm lazy.[/quote]

Me too. [b]Could some explain this one? [/b]I read the thread on French women and still don't get it.

I don't do my nails either.[/quote]

I'm not writing this to be snarky, but if you've been around a lot of people with understated old money, you would know what this means. We have always vacationed in Chatham, Truro and Welfleet on the cape. Tons of people like this (unlike us, they own their houses and only use them 8 weeks a year) The dowdier they dress, the more money they have (at least up there). I almost lol thinking of lipstick or any make up really on any f them.

Lots of poor people don't wear makeup, so I don't get how this is a moniker of a status symbol, unless ofcourse they are shopping at a high end store with no makeup. But shopping at a high-end store speaks for itself.  Maybe it's regional like PP stated. Like in a certain town, rich people don't wear makeup but the poorer people do. Weird.

I saw a Japanese film once that took place during feudal times.  The upper class had their eyebrows shaved off and drawn on high on their forehead. Looked alien.  If I were upper class, I woulda made the poor people look alien and me more human.  That's just me.[/quote]
