So...when did I start turning into a girl?

It started slow. i started enjoying the color pink after my daughter was born. And then the occasional frill and even skirt from time to time.

Now I am wearing makeup. O_o After eschewing it for most of my life, I got a free sample of Sephora foundation and now suddenly I own two of their starter kits because it's super easy and just needs a brush. (Liquid foundation is a horror that I shall never mention.)

Seriously, universe, the heck?

Sephora is the devil for that very reason -- everything is so nice and easy.

It is! Ten minutes of my time and tada! How could they make it so simple that even I can do it?

((in a sassy voice)) You're no girl, you're a WOMAN!

Heh, anytime I think that, all I can hear is Animal from the muppets. "WOman, WOman!"

LOL! I would love pink sparkly sandals. *G*

*snort* Don't feel so bad. I'm probably one of the most gender-neutral folk out there (barring, of course the actual anatomy) and I wear a bit of make up myself. And I have dolls. Really cool, super pretty, totally customizable dolls, but dolls nonetheless. And for some godforsaken reason, pink is starting to hold a vague appeal for me. I blame all the designers out there that are ACTUALLY MAKING something DECENT with it.

That must be it with the pink. For ages, the only available pink was hideous and wrong but lately, both the color and the clothes involved have actually been...attractive. It's a miracle!

I know exactly what you mean, because the same thing happened to me after I had my daughter.

I always said I would never dress my daughter up in skirts and ruffles and pink.

I was a liar! I never realized how badly I wanted a daughter until I had one. And she is a girly girl to the max, who insists on pink and ruffles. *G*

Don't laugh but my son has had the same influence on me. In the other ♂ direction. My saving grace is that Sephora is on my list of Homes away from Home right now or else I'd totally relate far too much to everything engineered for the teenage boy demographic.

Yknow, I just asked my sister about this and she said I've ALWAYS been a teenage boy. Doh.

LOL! I used to be a teenage boy, until my daughter's estrogen took over. *G*

Don't fight the girlishness. Sephora? Is awesome. ;)

[keelywolfe.livejournal.com]

It really is and easy. Easy is what gets me. *G*

Ahh, Sephora!

One day I stood before my Magic Mirror. The danged thing was broken! It would only show me the wrinkled and weary face of an old woman. I did the only things that were possible: sheared off 10.5 inches of hair and went for a makeover at the Sephora counter.

I was old enough to be the mother and/or grandmother of every girl who fussed over me that day.

Now I gots me a sassy new 'do and a pretty new face. Oh, and the Sephora lipstick doesn't bleed into the smoking cracks (I quite years ago, but the damage was already done)or fade.

cue music "I enjoy beeeinnnng...a Girl!"
