Temat: Natural Beauty
Tatiana S.:
I believe there should be a limit to which both men and women improve their looks. I don't really mind it if a guy is balding, going gray (now for the big secret: I started turning gray when I was only 18 and if didn't dye my hair, I'd look like a granny - will go for the image in a few years I think), I never cringe when I see women over 40 getting a bit plump, etc. I hate it when people don't even bother to keep clean as they get older - and I mean into their fifties or sixties, when they're surely still able to reach for a piece of soap and step into the shower. Greasy hair, BO, and, worse yet: no teeth, or rotting teeth. Reminds me of something for the girlie thread.
All in all, I'm not strikingly beautiful but will usually try to look attractive by wearing appropriate clothes, putting a bit of makeup on and shaving my legs - and NOT for men, just for the general public, as feel it would be terribly wrong to go to the office looking unkempt. I owe this to the society ;)
Ok, since we're trading secrets, I'll tell you mine (but please, keep it quiet!) I don't shave my legs! As I've always liked to exaggerate things for a dramatic effect, I'd pull a fast one on people and say it's because I'm a feminist ;), but the truth is that I simply don't have to. The merciful nature has equipped me with smooth legs (I suppose if you look very closely, you might spot a few teeny weeny hairs but they're as rare as hen's teeth). And I'm really glad, because I can't picture myself waxing them every other day (waxing other parts of my body takes up all the allocated time for it). Some moisturising lotion is all I've ever needed for my legs.
Now, should we ever meet IRL, please
don't stare at my legs. You really won't see anything! ;)
