    All is vanity.

    And sadly, for most people vanity is all.

    The blue works for you. Brings out your eyes. I like that. Wavy hair is nice since it is holds some body. Mine is very fine. A friend of mine bleached it for practice once and it literally broke off as I brushed it later. :(

    Thanks! She over processed your hair. You have to be careful with fine hair.

    She sure did! She was in beauty school at the time, so I sort of accepted that as a risk. It was the first time I ever colored my hair, too.

    I get my nails done professionally as I hate my hands and can't make my nails look decent myself. I get my eyebrows waxed professionally as well, and used to get Brazillian waxes too, but not sure if they do those where I live, now.

    Apart from that I am pretty low maintenance. I wear make up, but not a lot as I can't be bothered. I only use cleanser and moisturizer if I am removing make up. I use a leave in conditioner for my hair as it's very curly and needs hydration.

    I used to be one of those girls that would take hours to get ready - straightening hair, make up, etc. Now I am older I have found that I just don't seem to care as much. It may be because these days I have more important things to do, but I think you get more comfortable in your own skin as you get older. As Ruby said - it depends on the environment you are in as well.

    Um, as a side point...Women don't glue hair on in places it isn't meant to be. If hair grows then it is meant to be there.

    beauty = personal aesthetic.

    i see it more in archticture of the more unusual sort, likewise technology and nature.

    there is no beauty without some eliment of unusuallyness. but succinctness is also an eliment of my personal aesthetic.

    humans can be attractive to varying degrees, but i don't see the human form as ever being quite there.

    I don't feel bad. I'm rather comfortable with the way I look, but I just found that last part....odd.

    well i just see with my own eyes, and see beauty more in the diversity of the natural environment, and in some of the things we make and how we design them.

    I straighten my hair every few days, but otherwise I keep it as is.
    I only wear eyeliner. Lipstick for a performance
    My eyebrows are fantastic naturally.
    I don't put all that much thought into what I wear, but it is a little more important to me than the makeup and hair.
    I work out on occasion.
    Probably a 6 on the girly scale.

    Um, by your reasoning people were "meant" to have cancers and all sorts of illnesses. Illnesses doctors think are caused (in many instances) by pollutants such as pesticides, plastic packaging, pharmaceutical waste in tap water, additives etc etc etc. Add to that, our very artificial nutrition today. These all cause "gender blurring" in the worst cases. In ancient times, there was never a culture that valued hair on women. Beauty was always associated with smooth pale skin etc. This all suggests contaminants have caused a lot of this today.

    I'm pretty sure the point she was getting at is that normal healthy women only have hair where it is meant to be.
    (cancer not normal or healthy)

    So the guy she was talking to saying he only likes hair "where it's meant to be" is a little ridiculous.
    (oh that was you)
