Mmmmm... Quesadillas and salsa... You have a keeper, my friend.
Was it HOT salsa. Perhaps a serrano blend? Just a tad punishing?

This reminded me of something that happened earlier this year.
I had been out clubbing and was extremely tired. I opted to pass on showering
til morning and just collapsed into bed with my bf (now ex). When I woke up
that afternoon...I looked absolutely horrid. My makeup would've made a
trucker's wife blush. My mascara and eyeliner were all smeared under my
eyes...my foundation was smudgy...lipstick crooked. And my hair...ick! Can we
say troll doll? And do you know what my bf rolled over to say me? "G'
mornin', sweetie. You look beautiful" Beautiful?!?! And he meant it. Now
that's love. :) I made him breakfast, then took him out to one of my favorite
places in the woods and read to him.
No...I don't miss those days. *sigh*

Everyone takes their SO for granted at one time or another. thats where the
"commitment" part comes in. i take my bf for granted all the time- i get too
busy with school, work, etc that i put off quality time with him. after a
few weeks of it, he complains and i feel bad and then we spend lots of time
together. the cycle repeats indefinitely on both sides. you just have to
learn to recognize when youre taking your woman for granted and remedy the
situation. but if the problem is that the women are unwilling to let you make
it up to them, then they have unrealistic expectations of you and perhaps
they werent for you anyway.

that's what i dont understand about makeup- MEN WILL LOVE YOU/ THINK YOURE
BEAUTIFUL ANYWAY! i know so many females who are very beautiful because they
DONT wear makeup- they are secure with themselves. a little eyeliner,
lipgloss and mascara aint so bad every once in a while, but i hate it that so
many females NEED their foundation and pancake makeup every day.
can you tell i dont wear makeup? and i still have a boyfriend who
once-upon-a- time thought he'd never have a chance because he thought i was
so pretty, even without makeup.
i resent the pressure to conform. sure, i feel ugly for about a week every
month, but more women should really learn to be happy with themselves THE WAY
THEY ARE! ugly-assed people breed all the goddamn time! so what if you dont
look like [insert any model's name], she doesnt look like that either!
airbrushing! develop a charming character and razor-sharp wit! learn how to
hula-hoop with flaming rings of steel, just dont feel like you are inferior to
everyone else because you werent born with "bedroom eyes" for chrissakes.
this is one of those situations where most women keep themselves down,
regardless of how males treat them. more women need to feel like they have
intrinsic value and are ACTUALLY capable of doing anything they want if they
work hard. sure there are some sexist males, but i find that there are still
many women who believe in adherence to 1950's-style gender roles, and it ruins
it for the women who want choices.

When did wearing makeup become an issue of security? I'm plenty secure with
myself. I agree that pancake makeup is a bit excessive, but I see nothing
wrong with wanting to wear foundation, etc. And if one likes pancake makeup,
more power to 'em.

Good for you. :) No one ever said you had to wear makeup to be pretty. Most
women are beautiful with or without it... it's their choice. *shrug*
>i resent the pressure to conform. sure, i feel ugly for about a week every
>month, but more women should really learn to be happy with themselves THE WAY

Conform? Err.... I wear it because *I* want to. And I'm fine with the way I
am. I like to wear makeup. It's fun. *I* like how I look in it. . And more
often than not... women are pressured to NOT wear makeup (or wear very little).
> so what if you dont
>look like [insert any model's name], she doesnt look like that either!
Neither I nor most people I know give a rat's ass about [insert any model's
name]'s makeup. I do mine however I want it. I let my creativity go... I
don't seek to look "perfect". I want to look beautiful in *my* eyes... And
what I consider beautiful is NOT what you'll find in fashion magazines on
models. :)
>develop a charming character and razor-sharp wit! learn how to

Once again... I really don't see what this has to do with makeup. We can be
charming and witty... And we sure don't feel inferior because we weren't born
with "bedroom eyes". Makeup just isn't a security issue with me and most
people I know. We don't care about looking beautiful for anyone. We don't
care about how we compare to models. We do what we do for ourselves.
>this is one of those situations where most women keep themselves down,

Women are keeping themselves down by wearing makeup?!?! Well, I must be really
down.... I'm one of the horrid things that wear corsets and heels. :)
> more women need to feel like they have

Agreed...but once again...what the hell does this have to do with makeup?!?!
There are plenty of women who work hard and feel they can do anything....Did
you ever think that maybe some women do what they do for themselves? Maybe
they like to wear it? I can't think of single friend or acquaintance that
wears makeup to look "perfect", look like a model, conform to a "beauty
aesthetic", or to attract men.

Bwahaha! So my wearing makeup is ruining your choices? I think not. And if
I'm not mistaken...the 1950s slavish things you speak of dressed very simply
and didn't wear makeup... It was considered deviant and "trampy". And
speaking of choices...it's a woman's choice to look however she wants... no
makeup or wearing enough to make drag queens jealous.

ah, but for many women, makeup is a kind of security. if you are truly happy
with the way you look, why would you bother to wear makeup every day? it
takes up quite a bit of time and expense. there are also lots of women who
say things like "i love my body, but i need to lose 20 lbs..." i dont
understand that.

though you may feel a little pressure to look more "natural" and to wear less
makeup, i hear "you should really wear some lipstick or eyeshadow or some
blush and mascara too" ALL THE GODDAMN TIME from various well-meaning women.
while other women and most guys i know tell me that im beautiful because i
dont wear makeup. really confusing. and i hate it that many women, perhaps
unconsciously, equate grooming and femininity with wearing makeup.

it has to do with makeup in the sense that it has to do with how women
picture themselves. i hear women talk about how they need makeup to fix
"imperfections" all the time. i also know many women who are perfectly happy
with the way they look, even if they dont think theyre necessarily beautiful,
and NONE of them wear any makeup at all. to me, makeup has nothing to do
with being pretty, even if it is only for yourself.

in my opinion, most women i have met feel the NEED to wear makeup. if you
didnt feel inferior, why would you NEED it on a daily basis? i dont care
about occasional makeup or getting all super-made up when one goes clubbing,
i mean every day wear. its great not to have to worry about reapplication in
the middle of the day, etc. makeup is such a pain in the ass! if you like
it, great, i'm just curious why, that's all...

yes, it ruins the choices of young females who get the idea from their
mothers, aunts and friends that "when you turn 15, you can enter the
woman-club by starting to wear makeup". women pressure each other all the
time to fit into the majority view of how a woman should be. this includes
whether or not to wear makeup, whether or not to put your kids in daycare,
etc. the pressuring invades all aspect of a woman's life. and women often
blame males for a woman's low self-esteem, but the fact is that young girls
dont look to their fathers on what a beautiful woman is, they see their
mothers painting their faces and going on diets. i know when i was a kid, i
automatically thought the application of makeup was to cover imperfections,
real or imagined.
maybe i'm just being dense about the whole makeup thing... but no one has ever
satisfactorily explained it to me. all i've heard women say is "i'm not
insecure. i like makeup because it makes ME feel pretty". duh.
interestingly, in academia, it is BAD to wear makeup- no one will take you
seriously because they percieve women who wear makeup as caring too much about
appearances, therefore implying that their data is also superficial.

The way I'm dealing with this is to warn the current loved one that,
despite my fantastic intelligence, cluefulness and sanity, I really AM a
blond bimbo and I really do fuck up quite badly many times.
Then I keep doing really nice things that I put a lot of effort into, on a
daily basis, and think of NEW nice things, to keep the loved one reminded
that I am in fact good. Even if I fuck up.
It seems to be working so far. I'll report in a year or so on how it works
as a general method.

i personally love to bother with it. this may sound silly to some, but makeup
is an art to me. i can't draw or paint...and makeup is my creative outlet, so
to speak... and i take any chance i can to wear it.

I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Some people like girls in makeup...some
don't. This reminds me of a girl at the club...she doesn't wear a bit of
makeup and she is one of the most stunning women I've ever seen...but there's
probably someone out there who thinks she should wear lipstick or something.

Hmm.. can't answer this because i don't feel like i NEED to wear it. My
reasons for wearing it are pretty different from most women's...so maybe I'm
not the right person to argue the point. :)
i dont care
>about occasional makeup or getting all super-made up when one goes clubbing,

Super-made up! That's me! But certainly not for every day. It just isn't
practical. Yet I do still see women all made up during the day...even during
this hot weather. And while I respect their choice to do so, I disagree with
most of their reasons...which are probably the same ones you've mentioned
(insecurity, etc.)

Reasons differ. I mentioned above that mine is an artistic thing. It's not
bothersome at all for me...but I can see why you ask. There are women who
complain about "having" to wear it and gripe about needing to do touchups...
And i wonder too why they even bother.
>interestingly, in academia, it is BAD to wear makeup- no one will take you

I remember talking about that in psych class...and it just spawned a huge
argument over stereotypes and assumptions. I also read some book...the title
escapes me...about how someone with X characteristic (size, whether they have a
beard or not, etc.) is perceived. It added to my hatred of people :) But I
won't go off about that...

OKAY! WOW! the first person i've ever spoken to that had a legitimate reason
for wearing makeup that had nothing to do with insecurities. artistic outlet
i can understand. youre cool. because beleeeve me, i've asked quite a few
women why and they always give me a crappy circular argument. i think most

Got another one for you. One of my old schoolmates had a face that was
rather handsome. He looked like one of those typical, strait-laced,
Leave-It-To-Beaver overachievers with cardigan and deck shoes, you
know? Handsome in a Fifties kind of way.
Until he put on his makeup. He made a *very* sexy woman. Of course,
with him, the makeup was just the part of the package (along with the
dresses or whatever) that completed the picture. He had the mannerisms,
the voice, everything. (I sometimes wonder if he ever went
professional)
Makeup can also be a form of expression of something inside that can't
be released any other way, right? And women do this too. I knew a girl
in junior college who liked to do the Egyptian-eye thing with her
makeup. I didn't think it looked that great, but it made her feel good,
so who am I to judge?
I've noticed many of the women I know, even those who apply makeup each
and every day, will really do the job up when they go out on the town.
I think it's become something with them like dressing in the morning.
You get up, you do it, you go to work, you come home. You don't really
think about it or put a lot of effort into it. But on the weekends, you
do it *right*. And it may not be to impress anyone, but it probably is
-- in a general sense.
When I get dressed to go out, I'm dressing to impress. Not to impress
women, necessarily. Not to play one-up with anyone. But to make an
entrance and be felt and acknowledged as a presence. Maybe it's this
way with some women and their makeup? I know if I wore makeup, I'd
probably wear it differently when I went out than when I was at work,
and I probably wouldn't bother when I was at home. But that's just me.
My sister, on the other hand, won't even leave her house to check the
mailbox without five kinds of makeup.

I have to admit I'm guilty of this....
I honestly like my body. I'm small but curvy and I had to drag my brother's
girlfriend into the bathroom and have her look at the scale as I weighed myself
before she would believe I weighed as much as I said I did. I'm about five
two and a half, and fluctuating within five pounds either way of 140. I
think I look okay for the most part. However, it's nearly imposssible to find
clothes (espescially skirts) that fit pproperly. For the sheer convenience it

It is an art. =] That's why even though my makeup routine is extremely
basic, I have a huge assortment of cosmetic and interesting hairstuffs. I
might not always feel like it, but when the muse strikes!

Maybe for some.. but I wear the same stuff no matter what. Personally, I
depend on my hair to make the transition. If I'm going to work or run
errands or some such thing, I'll put my hair in two Wednesday Addams
style pigtails, if I want to look a bit more "done up", I'll twist it all into
a very
tight bun at the base of my head.
Club Nights?
I let it down in all it's glory. Two feet of thick bouncy raven black curls
tossed
about in all directions, falling here and there, every stray curl a perfection
in
and of itself. Occasionally, I'll put it up with a few lazy strands here and
there
crimped to perfection.
I guess I always did identify with both Snow White and Rapunzel a bit too
much....

I wear make-up because *I* think it's pretty.
I put on make-up in my home when most likely _No One_ will see it,
because I am doing it, because *I* want to look.. not because I want
someone else to look.
Heck I've done myself right up, worn it for an hour or two and taken it
off. Because it's fun. Because it's different. Because it's interesting.
I basically don't wear make-up out of the house. It's just me and my
face. But if an opportunity arises and I'm in the right mood on it goes,
and out I go... I've done that about 4 times perhaps.
I wear makeup 100% for me. me. me.
I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks of the way I look (after
all, if you're going to base me on a look I'm probably not going to want
to talk to you anyway).
I hate people who judge by the surface so I wouldn't want to perpitrate
that by wearing make-up to make myself look more attractive to someone
else.
Makeup is fun!

: When did wearing makeup become an issue of security? I'm plenty secure with
: myself. I agree that pancake makeup is a bit excessive, but I see nothing
: wrong with wanting to wear foundation, etc. And if one likes pancake makeup,
: more power to 'em.
I agree with this....some people have the time and patience to deal with do
the whole face every day and some don;t...i am one that doesn;t bother
(makeup is expensive too ...the stuff i like is anyway) everyday ...If I am
dressed up to go out I feel that I look more complete with a bit on and even
than I don;t wear much (power, my glitter eyeliner-I love this stuff- little
mascare and dark lipstick ..) ..plus the contacts...
: >can you tell i dont wear makeup? and i still have a boyfriend who
: >once-upon-a- time thought he'd never have a chance because he thought i was
: >so pretty, even without makeup.
: Good for you. :) No one ever said you had to wear makeup to be pretty. Most
: women are beautiful with or without it... it's their choice. *shrug*
It is good that woman don;t feel they need makeup ..but ifyou do than that
is fine too
: >i resent the pressure to conform. sure, i feel ugly for about a week every
: >month, but more women should really learn to be happy with themselves THE WAY
: >THEY ARE!
: Conform? Err.... I wear it because *I* want to. And I'm fine with the way I
: am. I like to wear makeup. It's fun. *I* like how I look in it. . And more
: often than not... women are pressured to NOT wear makeup (or wear very little).
I used to wear a lot ofmakeup in the '80's mainly to look more outlandish
and now I don;t care for that ..and I don;t have time to do it too ...I also
used to spend like half an hour on my hair than too! (i still can;t believe
I had the time to do that) now it is wash and leave the house with my hair
wet!
: > so what if you dont
: >look like [insert any model's name], she doesnt look like that either!
: Neither I nor most people I know give a rat's ass about [insert any model's
: name]'s makeup. I do mine however I want it. I let my creativity go... I
: don't seek to look "perfect". I want to look beautiful in *my* eyes... And
: what I consider beautiful is NOT what you'll find in fashion magazines on
: models. :)
i think makeup has two uses: camoflague (?) and creativity ...I use it
mainly for the later too ...
also 'perfect' is different for everyone
: >this is one of those situations where most women keep themselves down,
: >regardless of how males treat them.
: Women are keeping themselves down by wearing makeup?!?! Well, I must be really
: down.... I'm one of the horrid things that wear corsets and heels. :)
I don;t see what wearing makeup has anythig to do with how men treat woman
...as a second point...(unless I am reading with wrong)
I am of the opinion (males would be better to comment on this ) that men
would prefer a woman look good sans the makeup ....because they aren;t
surprise one day when she takes it off and AREGH!
: wears makeup to look "perfect", look like a model, conform to a "beauty
: aesthetic", or to attract men.
models are perfect ...most models are so because their is something unusual
but still beautiful about them ...nowadays it is more important (if you want
to be a model) to be unusual than stereotypical
feline fatale
(who likes the glitters around her eyes)

>ah, but for many women, makeup is a kind of security. if you are truly

>with the way you look, why would you bother to wear makeup every day?
I wear makeup because I'm shallow as hell!!! Well, really, the only time I
tend to like the way I look without makeup is around three am, when I'm
starting to get flushed from sleep deprivation, and my eyes look a little too
bright...if only it could always be three am:(
However, I think I have a really great face for makeup. I can be anything. I
can look trampy or angelic, severe or soft. Lately I like to be Annie Lennox
severe, an agressive kind of minimalism...and I don't think the boys like it
too much; a friend told me a while ago that I looked like a "really scary
buisinesswoman." I like to think of it as visual sarcasm.
Makeup can be an art, but it can also be a quick way to shape the way people
perceive you. When I go to work (at a taffy shop) I want to look approachable
and friendly (and normal). At any other given time, I just want people to stay
away...so I wear my black, nothing too outrageous because that attracts
attention, and paint my face to look proud and harsh.
Maybe that's just a reflection of my insecurities...but I don't look the way I
do in order to shock or gain approval from anyone, I just want to look as
distant as possible. That way only the strong and the foolish approach me.
The strong ones I like.
Isobel.

I have a lot of reasons for wearing makeup. I've always painted and drawn
on my skin. There are pictures of me at the age of 5 with pictures going
up both arms and on my face.
That's fine and all in kindergarden, but I draw enough stares now without
looking like the world's only 5-year old college sophmore.
It's where I put the colors, too. I've always been slightly overweight
and have gravitated towards wearing black as a result for, well, as long
as I can remember. If I were to wear a bright red dress I think I would
hide in the corner all night. However, I can wear a red lipstick with no
problems. I ould never wear a silver sparkely dress, but I see nothing
wrong with covering myself in glitter on occasion.
Well, mostly I wear makeup because it's _fun_! I like that I can make my
eyes green by using a certin eyeshadow, and blue with another. I like
copying the makeup from different eras and watching people who grew up
then responding to me. It's like another toy to play with.

I actually managed to explain *why* a girlie looks *so* damned gorgeous
first thing in the morning to a friend of mine. I forget the exact wording,
but it was something to do with being relaxed from sleep or something.

around the WRONG men or have problems no good words will solve.

Most of the arguements with my exs have been over the fact that i find
them attractive in the morning, and they try and hide until they've done
their make up.

If that's what constituted "most" of your arguments, then I can't fathom
why they're *ex* girlfriends! I think many guys would consider you lucky.
Sheesh.
I'd say most of the arguments I had w/ my exs were due to the fact that
most of 'em were just plain psycho...

So what you are saying is that someone "who needs help" seeks a partner who
also "needs help" and in the process they both lose whatever grasp of reality
they have, then break up, and continue the cycle? That would explain
society...hmmm. One person really can make a difference. <g>
