Girly-Girly!
Okay. This is just too scary not to do. Courtesy of xanath and greenjeanz.

The Girly-Girly Meme!

01. DO YOU HAVE ON A LOT OF MAKE-UP?
What, right now? Hell no. I can't wear it more than once a week or my face erupts into a veritable Yellowstone of oozing craters and suspicious crusty spots.

02. HOW MUCH DO YOU PUT ON?
Usually? None. Special occasions? The works. First you have your layer of primer, then the gesso. Do the detail work starting with the lights and working to dark. Then you put on a decent topcoat and let it dry. Remember to sand between layers. No. Wait. That's painting. Seriously, when I want to look like a girl, I wear foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, and sometimes blush and lipstick. Top that off with perfume.

03. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET READY?
Usually? A couple minutes to put on clothes and find my shoes. Special occasions? An hour, max. Which includes vacillating over perfume for about ten minutes, and not being able to find my panties.

04. DO YOU PUT ON A LOT OF LIPGLOSS?
No. I tend to eat it off my lips anyway, and I hate how it makes me feel all greasy.

05. DOES YOUR LIPGLOSS SMELL GOOD?
The one tube of glitter lip gloss I have smells like . . . I have no idea. Juicy Fruit gum or something. So, yeah. I guess it does. Ick.

06. DO YOU CARRY A PURSE?
Only when I have to because I'm not wearing a coat and I need to take more than just my phone and my wallet with me. I hate carrying a purse. It's really hard to pretend to be Constantine Black, pangalactic criminal mastermind, when you're carrying a fussy little handbag.

07. WHAT COLOR IS IT?
Red velvet. Duh.

09. DO YOU HAVE COACH BAG?
Obviously not, since I have no fucking idea what one is.

10. DO YOU HAVE A LOUIS VUITTON?
Is that a kind of genital piercing? Because I think those are totally hot.

11. HOW MANY PURSES DO YOU HAVE?
Three. Two of them belonged to my grandmother, and have leftover spearmint gum in them. As in, already chewed. "Is THAT where that smell's coming from? That's disgusting!" you'd say. And you'd be right. So I don't carry them.

12. DO YOU LIKE TO WEAR NAILPOLISH?
Like it? No. I like putting it on, and I like smelling it, and I like how it makes my hands look for about fifteen minutes, until I chip it. Then I like peeling it off and pretending I have a fatal disease.

13. HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET YOUR NAILS DONE?
I trim them when they become inconvenient.

14. DO YOU LIKE MANICURES?
Do I LOOK like I have the disposable income to pay slave labor to fiddle with my extremities? If I had that kind of money, I'd just spend it on perfume. That's my one girly addiction.

15. WHAT ABOUT PEDICURES?
Touch my feet and die. Seriously. It's not even funny.

16. DO YOU HAVE A USUAL NAIL SALON YOU GO TO?
I have several I drive past and look at, and think "Do enough people really pay for that shit to necessitate an entire store dedicated to it? What's wrong with these people that they can't paint their nails themselves? Are their freakin' arms broken? If so, who drives them to the nail salon? And if your arms were broken, wouldn't you care more about not being able to wipe your own ass than about how your hands looked? Where do you hire professional ass-wipers, anyway? How do you get references?" I get philosophical when I'm in traffic.

17. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR HAIR CUT?
I assure you, I'm smart enough to tell the difference between one inch and six inches. Now, normally if I ask for "one inch" of something and I get six, I'm pleased. But not when it comes to getting my hair cut. I have yet to meet a hairstylist who can tell the difference. Therefore, nobody cuts my hair but me.

18. DO YOU DYE YOUR HAIR?
I'm too chickenshit. I don't want anything I have to maintain, and as near as I can tell, screwing around with your hair color is a never-ending nightmare of touchups and bad color choices, and you have to keep dyeing it for the rest of your natural life or it will look like shit.

19. DO YOU STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR?
My hair is the straightest thing about me, and needs no help.

20. DO YOU HAVE LOTS OF PAIRS OF SHOES?
Define "lots." I have about six pairs, of which I only really wear two.

21. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SHOES?
Bare feet. Duh.

23. DO YOU WEAR HEELS EVERYWHERE?
I'm a masochist, not out of my mind.

24. CAN YOU WALK IN HEELS AND NOT FALL OVER?
Without a hitch, thank you very much. Hey. I said I hate wearing them. I didn't say I couldn't manage it.

25. WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR CLOTHES?
Anywhere, everywhere. I only shop about once a year, so there's no pattern here.

26. DO YOU GO SHOPPING EVERY WEEK?
The fact that there are people who do this worries me. Don't people have other things to do?

27. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE STORE?
The used bookstore. You have to ask?

28. HOW MUCH DO YOU USUALLY SPEND?
About twenty bucks, evenly split between horror and sci-fantasy.

29. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN DIOR?
It beats being out dior in Oklahoma. The weather here is rough.

30. DO YOU FOLLOW FASHION TRENDS?
Only if it's on top of a great ass. Then I'll follow it around the store until it notices me.

31. DO YOU HAVE A PAIR OF HUGE SUNGLASSES?
No. They're small.

35. HOW MANY PAIRS OF EARRINGS DO YOU HAVE?
Four. And my ears aren't pierced. So, yeah.

36. DO YOU WEAR HOOP EARRINGS?
I have that one pair of shiny gold clip-ons that I wear because, well, PIRATE.

37. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF SKIRTS?
Only if one counts as "a lot."

39. DO YOU GET YOUR EYE BROWS DONE?
I do them myself. What, are your arms broken?

40. CAN YOU APPLY MASCARA WITHOUT OPENING YOUR MOUTH?
I . . . I . . . shit. I don't think I can. But I don't make that silly O face.

41. DO YOU WEAR A LOT OF EYELINER?
Yes.

42 and 43 aren't here for some reason... I'm going to assume it's a good one. (I will too.) (I will three.)

44. DO YOU DO PILATES OR YOGA?
Fuck that. Looking at the class of people I see taking classes around here, I'd be afraid I'd catch Soccer Mom just from breathing the air. I bellydance, and I screw. If that's not enough to maintain your flexibility and the strength of your core muscles, you aren't doing either one right.

45. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MAGAZINES?
Sure. Smithsonian, Discover, National Geographic, Penthouse, Club, you name it!

In conclusion, I am clearly not a girly-girl.

May I metaquote 19,23,30, and 44?

Can't stand having my feet touched in ANY way. I'm just too ticklish. My feet are, thankfully, strong enough that I hardly ever have foot pain. That might have more to do with the fact that I hate silly shoes, though. :P

Cutting your own hair when it's LOOONG isn't hard at all. I just ponytail it firmly at the nape, and then about another foot down, then carefully bring the loose end over one shoulder. Trim it, then do it again over the other shoulder. Once I started doing that, I quit having it turn out lopsided.

And metaquote away. Heh.

	I loveloveLOVE these replies! I also am so not a girly-girl. I go to the beauty suppky shope about every 6 months, to get acrylic nail emery boards in graduated grits. Do I use them for their intended purpose??? Hell, no- I use them for finishing metal and enamels, and keep my own nails as short as is possible without blood. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Naw. Just until it grows out enough to cut. Or if you've darkened your hair just until the supposedly permanent dye finally wears out. Been there, done that. And if you have lightened your hair, you can always dye it dark again to approximate your natural color. And keep redoing it until all the dyed hair is gone if you cut your hair. G (Reply to this)

Ditto what you said - it seems like a tremendous waste of time to me. I am adding you as a friend, btw. I have not had much time to post lately, so I will not be offended in the least if you don't reciprocate. (Reply to this)
