It seems I have been remiss in some key points of my total style picture. I neglected some things that some of my more intrested readers and friends want to know, and have pointed out they desire clarification on.Okay.When I was a small child, my grandmother, who was born on a hill, but raised on the plains of Nebraska informed me in no uncertain terms that anything I wear under my clothing, was called "unmentionables."( I say she was born on a hill, because she was taught in a one room school-house,and still believed that the world was flat...) But, I digress. I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone who doesn't have to would wear women's underware.There is no more uncomfortable item of apparel more annoying than a bra.Particularly, if one should fall into the catagory of "full figured",but even those of us who have to stuff their bras...at least get something comfortable.I started out way past training bras, and that first one was cotton...a nightmare with straps that dug into my shoulders and under my arms, and that is when I decided that the standard cheap stuff was not the way to go.Nor is underwire. So, my choice is usually all elastic, like Hanes her way, or Just my size.I think I made it clear in the first post that I am for comfort, but perhaps not in so many words, so I will make it clear now. I am built for comfort, not for speed.I will not have a thong in my wardrobe.The whole idea makes me want to urp. I went the " anything for beauty " route when I was very young, when my mother was still buying my clothes. I have worn girdles and long-line bras, that pinch you in there and poke you out here, and make it next to impossible to sit down and breathe at the same time.I am so over that! I have done my time wearing iron-maidens that cinch you in from your thighs to your armpits, and spent endless evenings walking around with a plastic smile, trying to have a good time while wishing the night would end so I could go home and take it off! Well, that all changed when I discovered pantyhose, and I will never go back to that.So I have comfy unmentionables, and even a couple of sports bras that do very nicely too....but almost all of my undies are silky...big surprise, right?
As to my nails, if I gave you the impression that my hands are lovely, with long slender fingers, then I am remiss there as well.I have square hands, with paper thin nails, and the only way to make them look better was to train myself to care for my nails, judiciously,encourage my nails to grow, and keep them polished with sally hanson polish and a sealer to keep them from splitting and peeling and breaking.My hands work, but I have had to learn how to create the impression that they are nice to look at. Create the illusion of beauty, and people will say, Oh, I wish I had such nice looking hands.They're not. Chop the nails off, and take off the polish,and my hands are just kind of there.
OUI?
