For me, anything more amounts to things that just cover up natural beauty.<BR/>I am going gray and easily accept that is simply who I am and the point I am at in life. I don't put energy into trying to be anyone other than myself. That is perhaps not a popular way of being, but it is my simple way.<BR/><BR/>Peace, VirginiaVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451139904242764009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-1144517190714311512006-04-08T13:26:00.000-04:002006-04-08T13:26:00.000-04:00I nearly moaned in jealousy.

I know I'm not the right sort, but I never got over being able to pass.

Never dreamed I would and can't explain why I did. Just felt like trying it, all of a sudden. I hate the wax--messy, and not much more comfortable--and have figured out how to pluck so it doesn't hurt, much. Nothing dramatic, and not one person has commented or noticing anything different. Just for me, cause right now I kind of like it. I definitely consider myself a "low maintenance" person in these areas. No color in my hair, never more than ten bucks for a cut, very little make up and most days none at all. Pink toenails once in a blue moon just because it's fun. Had the apt manager in to fix my water heater the other day--it's in my bedroom closet. He noticed my shoe rack and said, "Boy, you like clogs, don't you?" It's all I own. I'm a sensible-shoes kind of gal. Couldn't wear heels if someone had me at gunpoint.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed this entry, and all your comments, so much!Paula J.

I will probably get a pedicure when it hits 90 in a few days and it's officially sandal season, but it makes me feel uncomfortable to have someone slaving over my feet, so bourgeois. (I can NEVER go up to the altar for the foot-washing.) But since bending over to do my own toes is even more uncomfortable and it does last a long time, I tip her generously and enjoy the result. I never did this until I turned 50 and figure I have worked hard enough to splurge. Brow waxing is another story--no qualms at all! My high level of tolerance for pain everywhere else does not extend to my brows and plucking requires a lot more frequent pain than waxing. I love the pampering and invariably, if I've let them get thick, someone comments after the waxing--they don't know what it is, but I look younger, or my eyes are pretty, or something. I think you should try it--ask for thinner, not just cleaning them up. For 10 bucks, this could be the start of your life changes. They'll grow back if it's too high maintenance for you! *debbi* <BR/>P.S. So dd is going back to Oregon? You said she misses it.

Don't need it anyway, since mine are thin (too thin, but you can't grow hair where it doesn't want to grow). As for the waxing of OTHER bodily areas, NO FREAKING WAY. The naughty part gets shaved. Ahhhh, that in itself is an erotic experience compared to hot wax being put there and torn off...and possibly removing all signs of my gender. ::giggle::Bedazzzled1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00657328701711167431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-1144452049126221442006-04-07T19:20:00.000-04:002006-04-07T19:20:00.000-04:00I really enjoyed this entry!

The eyebrow thing depends on your brows a lot too though. My 21 year old daughter, who will not wear so much as chapstick, gets her brows done. She has inherited many of her Italian father's physical traits so really does need the eyebrow thing and looks so much better when she keeps up with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-1144445130074124982006-04-07T17:25:00.000-04:002006-04-07T17:25:00.000-04:00Methinks Stacey and Clinton would have a field day...Methinks Stacey and Clinton would have a field day in C.H. <BR/><BR/>And you probably don't have the slightest idea who I'm talking about... :-]Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-1144443433688959802006-04-07T16:57:00.000-04:002006-04-07T16:57:00.000-04:00I own a lipstick.
