Vanity

OK, so I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately. I've never considered myself a vain person, but I've come to realize my sense of vanity has developed more as I age. Back in High School and College I was more concerned with make-up and some fashion, but never really obsessed or anything and I certainly never pulled mush off with flair. College then degraded to me really not giving 2 sh*ts about lots of appearance factors like my weight etc... Yet in the last few years things like skin condition, weight and fashion have started to mean more to me.



An example? I got a haircut last month that literally left me in tears...twice! The hair wasn't terrible by any means, but it felt boring, like middle-aged-overweight-Mom hair! NOT COOL! I dealt with it until I saw the ever lovely Princezz sporting great hair and I too had to reclaim my head! Now after $80 I'm sporting a mighty fine do, and I will just have to continue splashing out for fabulousness from now on. In my earlier 20's (and to be honest at many points in adolescents) I sported some wicked awful/weird hair, but now it actually affects my mood. I had tears over HAIR! And no, it was not hormones, it was the haircut that caused the tears.



I've given in to my need to moisturize, sunscreen my super pale self, and even check for grey hair and fine lines. Make-up and I are still in a strange detente where I will wear it on rare occasions, but so far have been able to look fine w/out it. According to others my fashion sense is better than I give it credit for...and my ego/vanity center is very happy about that. ;) I will soon (so very soon) be 29, the gateway to 30, and I'll be damned if I look prematurely older or preternaturally younger than my age.



However friends and loved-ones, if you see me acting too crazy vain please help a FroggerGirl out and give me a wake-up call. :)
