plsmith, always here in Pittsburgh, PA!
Where if a "real man" would wear make up and shave---God help him.
And to answer your followup, what is a real man in Pittsburgh? A man that can hold his job, family and liquor.
edited to add, my caveman doesn't use deodorant! For shame Horrors!!!!!
But ya know, when snuggling up at night, that aroma--is an aphrodasiac. Yep--it's me and I am silly.

lam2hot2handle, a real scary experience to watch! What are they thinking? Me--nearing 50, have my share of gray hairs, me---in fricking menopause(sorry gents), have my ups and downs with weight, moods and whiskers!!!
But would take my mug any day over the fake stretched grotesque mask that they pay for all for all in the sake of youth. We all go through life, and dollars to donuts, I am having the best time of my life right now!!!!! Whiskers and all Maturity and age is not the death knoll. It is a rebirth.
And my biggest gripe, to strive for youth and beauty is just so superficial. That's it.
edited to add, I pluck like a chicken farmer when it comes to whiskers! My one vanity.

I'm not fat, I'm festively plump!
And I think spandex on ANYONE outside of a gym/exercise environment looks tacky.
Combovers are sad.
Women w/bony knees and skinny thighs who wear short skirts look pretty bad.
I'm not fond of really short hair on anyone, though bald looks good on some.
Collagen lips reminds me of some comedian (can't remember who) that said something like, "All the actresses in Hollywood are wearing John Candy's a$$ on their lips."

The reason so many fat (& yes, that *is* the word, unless you wish to use "obese" ) women wear spandex & bright colors & hideous patterns is...that's what most manufacturers of plus-size clothes make. After a certain size, that's all there is for those women to wear unless they can afford to buy the really expensive stuff, or they themselves sew. I feel for them & can't figure out just why clothing manufacturers think that these women desire to look like a circus clown.
As for tattoos--I love them! In fact, both my legs from ankle to hip are tattooed with underwater scenes & I've been working on them for 24 years. One of these days I'll move up my back. There are many tattoos I see that, while I admire the artistry that goes into them, I wouldn't ever want on *my* body, and some that are so poorly done they are pathetic, but overall I really go for tattoos. Have done so since I was very small despite my mother's vocal distate for them.

As a cashier, i see about 250 people/night.
I see plenty of tatoos,and i feel it's your right to do so, however we do have several very attractive women with neck flames and such. The neck flames dont bother me so much, it's why they felt that would help..
One guy wears a dog choke chain and i'm always thinking it wouldnt be hard to take this guy in a physical disagreement..Just grab the ring and pull..
Here's a little list (might be outdated in your part of the country);
Total camo.
Nascar couple.
Long shaft tonge ball. (ack!)
Chinese character tatoos on both arms (can someone translate?)
T-shirt worn inside out..(dude, where can i get some of that?)
Total Fubu (tm)
Total Phat farm (tm)
Abercrombie, old Navy,Aeropostale (all TM) for the preps,and those wishing to score with them..which consists mostly of a logo..
Jeff Gordon hat on a guy (there may be talk after you leave)
Flip side: One young guy slicks and parts his hair and wears heavy black rims.
Another young lady wears cat style black rims too, although you can tell behind there is a very pretty face.. (kind of cool, i think)
I feel people should consentrate on thrilling us with the force of his/her personality and less drama, then to me it doesnt matter what one looks like.. although speaking as a man, short haired women in power suits/ and or/ natural look women in cutoffs and construction boots kind of appeal to me visually.

Joan Rivers looks awful. She looks perpetually surprised all the time and doesnt dare blink...if she did, her face would probably crack at the hairline.

I was just going to comment on Joan Rivers also. I recently saw her on QVC and she is SCARY looking!! Her face looks like a skeleton.
posted on October 14, 2001 11:32:36 AM new
EG, you know who Rivers reminds me of? Whatsherface...cant think of her name, but she always said "Im ready for my closeup, Mr DeMille"....DESMOND! Laura? Desmond.

Oh, yes, Joan Rivers! My husband asked me about three months ago if I'd seen Joan Rivers lately and I told him that I hadn't. He asked me to look at some TV program she was on. Shocker!
But I don't understand how a woman with great facial features like Fay Dunaway could do what she has done.
One more thing that makes me laugh are designer items with the designer's name or logo plastered all over the item. Shouldn't he or she be paying me for advertising instead of asking me to wear his/her name plastered on my purse or butt - all for an extravagant price?

The worst, panty hose with a swimsuit to camouflage cellulite while you are on the beach! I don't think so!!
String tops with contrasting bra straps one or more inches outboard of the straps. Forget about show us your underalls, show us your underwear!! Quite the fashion trend, NOT!
Bad toupees on guys who can afford good ones, RI Mayor Buddy Cianci and Newsman Sam Donaldson come to mind.
Sadie Festively Plump! LOL! Rubenesque, has always been my favorite. Or I am not overweight I am undertall!
posted on October 14, 2001 01:48:41 PM new
I don't know about you Hep but I wanna join Sadie in her festivities!! Yummmy food glorius food....bring on those tight jeans they'll control the bulge! (maybe)

I dont know about festively plump, but I will NEVER have really short hair again. I kept being called SIR from behind, until I turned around.
posted on October 14, 2001 02:02:38 PM newHepburn: I'm used to it. However, I even get called "sir" when folks are *facing* me. Which just goes to show you how hung up people are on hair length as a mark of gender...my *very* short hair somehow totally hides my large & obvious breasts from their view.

Bunni, I hear ya. I was car shopping once, and when I walked up to the salesman, he said "can I help you sir?" and I immediately looked down my front blouse and then looked back up at him, saying "sir?" to which he stumbled an apology. After I found my car (yes, I did buy one that day), I said to him "thank you for all your help, MADAM" to which he looked down the front of his pants. We both laughed
I like my long hair, though. It was easier to manage short, but it makes me feel more feminine with it long. Thats me, though. To each his or her own

posted on October 14, 2001 02:22:03 PM newHepburn: If only more people had that philosophy. I have never in my life felt any urge to be girly or feminine. I dress for comfort & to please myself. For me, that's short hair & usually jeans & a t-shirt unless I have to dress up, then it's dress slacks & blouse. All of which for the majority of folks automatically makes me a homosexual! When my mule & I encountered those emus a couple of months ago & my face became initmately acquainted with the road, you should have *heard* some of the comments I had to put up with from complete strangers. For some men a woman with a huge black eye & road-rashed face wearing jeans & a t-shirt is incredibly threatening to their masculinity...

panty hose with any open toed or heeled shoes.
socks (of any kind, but white sport socks are the worst) with sandals, mules/slides.
the upside down (and usually backwards) visor makes me laugh uncontrollably.
But, in fairness, I know my purple woolen leg warmers (all year round) in the 80's must have cracked up people in the same way.
The jerry springer wanna-be's are pretty scary. Why strive to look as cheap as possible??
Some 70's retro is kinda scary as is 80's retro. It was bad enough the first time around. And who had the brilliant idea to bring back the Farah Fawcett feathered flip?
I don't mind tattoos, even lots, if they seem to follow some kind of theme. Some people walk around like they got into a fight with the tattoo artist and lost.
Maturity and age is not the death knoll. It is a rebirth.
