Beauty In a Box

Beauty In a Box

It's that wonderful time of year that bombards us with solutions for our never ending faults. Of course, most of these offers refer to our unacceptable bodies. We are to believe that we are only useful beings to the human race if we run to the nearest gym and sign up for whatever torture they are selling in an attempt to make the view for everyone else a perfect one.

I, for one, cannot wait to sign up for a new gym membership. But I wish they would hurry up and let us know what we're supposed to look like this year. How can I possibly choose a membership plan that includes a personal trainer unless I'm able to tell that personal trainer what I want to look like? Are we still suppose to have junk in the trunk this year, or have we gone back to the flat butt look? Am I suppose to have muscles that tell you I can kick some ass, or are we going for the soft, feminine look? Personally, I'm voting for the kick ass look.

Well, until I hear what I'm supposed to do to my body this year, I suppose I will fill the time practicing the latest makeup application tips. Somehow these diagrams are quite reminiscent of the paint by numbers projects I did as a child. Surprise, surprise... those often frustrated me as I don't like to stay inside the lines.

;-)
Happy New Year everyone!

*smile* and you look, fortunately for us, unable to stay within the lines! I've just spent 5 days with my very-nearly 14 year old niece. I wish that I could say that I have swayed her ideas of beauty, but I was unable. Foundation and cover-up for 14 year old skin???? oh well, otherwise we had a great visit.

Cheers!

I'm always down with the 'kick ass' look, I figure if I get it wrong, and they don't like it, I'm still ready to kick some ass.
:D
Heh.
Stay strong of mind and the body will follow.
