Penny, you're a riot, but I have to agree with you that always being seen with makeup on is one of the MANY burdens that a lot of women seem to accept in our society...

Still, I like the way women look without makeup, and have always been comfortable with friends and girlfriends that would only get "done up" for going out and special occasions.

What's funny (or perhaps ironic) is that many fashion models that actually have a real career (not wannabes) and work a lot almost never wear makeup when they're not booked for a job. Away from a set, they usually prefer a very casual, or even "fumpy" look with baggy clothes and no makeup.

I think they get sick of being "styled" so often and they just want to be comfortable the rest of the time, and not draw atttention to themselves. Anyway, I've always liked that look, too. To me, it's a self-confidence that a woman knows she can make herself look good when she wants to, but doesn't feel she has to be that way all the time...

(I love their make -up) it stays on from the minute you put it on to the last minute of the day...it's amazing stuff if you follow their skin care regime as well. Anyway....

we were talking about that very thing and how some women won't even think of going out of the house without make up.... me, I usually tend to have no make up and look like a boyish hag of sorts...it's pretty scary...more frightening is when Larry says "sweetheart you look so pretty without make up" -GAG!

I always feel like responding "which part do you love the most---my jaundiced looking blotchy complexion or my dark circles that make me look so good." You gotta love the fact that God makes 'em blind to the scariness over time...

Thanks for your sense of humor...
