Re: makeup and shaving and all that if men weren't around... I'm up in the boonies by myself pretty much for about 3 weeks.. Still shaving and wearing makeup. I really do it for me most of the time. I actually saw another human yesterday face to face when I went to the store... But to go to the store I scrubbed off all my makeup because sweat+makeup=bad combo. Came back, took a shower, put up my hair, put on makeup, put on some jewelry to eat dinner by myself and drink wine out on the porch and watch the sun go down. In some strange way it pleases me to know that I look nice. I don't need someone else to admire me. And it's -really- nice to crawl into a big ol' bed with clean sheets right after shaving and have smooth legs wallow around in fluffy blankets all by myself and not have to worry about kicking anyone or being a blanket hog. Sometimes it's also nice to have grizzly legs once it grows out though. I swear my leg hair's thick enough to actually insulate me.

"I do it for the joy it brings
because I'm a joyful girl"

Now that everyone knows I'm vain, selfish, and self indulgent I'm going to go hide.
