Botox anyone?

Wow! Not sure where to go with this... First off I didn't realize I had to introduce myself, if that is the protocol I apologize for rocking the boat(bike) and hope that this discussion was worth it!
Second, I have to say I appreciate all the comments both positive and negative. It's always so interesting to hear how women don't judge other women!
...
So once again I do appreciate the discussion and look forward to many more!

I never introduce myself on forums either. I just start hanging around like a stray cat, and either I fit in or I wander away.

For hair and make-up and primping in general, I have never really seen much improvement in my appearance from before to after. So it's either 'at least I'm making an effort' or 'a complete waste of time' depending on my mood.

I like Malkin's approach, I do similar for forums, not make up. . There is no protocol for this board, as much as a few people think there should be. I've been posting here for years and I have no idea if I ever "introduced myself" here . (omg, almost ten years??!!!)

It's funny. My mom was an Original Bra Burning Feminist and I was highly discouraged from using make up, shaving, or anything remotely perceived as The Establishment Forcing Women To Do These Things In Order To Be Socially Acceptable. I'm at a loss for a better description - but you get the idea. It was only as an adult that I realized I didn't have to do it her way. But I still don't ever wear make up. I wasn't allowed Barbies, either.
