Do you think that females are the only ones to suffer in the name of beauty? First of all, I not only must pluck my eyebrows, but also have the excruciating task of yanking hair from my nostrils and my ears. Vain? Possibly.....but when was the last time you saw a man with furry ears, shrubery sprouting out of his nose, and eyebrows you could knit with, that made your heart go pitter patter? Plus I drag my tired old butt up to the gym 3 days a week.....yeah, yeah, it's supposed to be good for you....but I wouldn't set foot in the place, if I didn't think it made me LOOK better!! It is a shame we live in a superficial society...but thats the fact....Jack. As long as your teaching your niece age appropriate life lessons, tell her good looks, money and social station are not the best criteria when picking a mate...Love should be the main consideration.......you might also mention to her that it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one. Have a perfect day!!!
peace out
kidps....you are just a tad twisted ;)
> i'm teaching myniece early (she's 5) that beauty is pain. i've somehow managed to squeeze my big feet into some size 8 1/2 painfully high heels. i explained to my niece that beauty is pain and shoes can be sexy. she4 tried on a pair of mine and agreed they were sexy. i'm not concerned with sending her the wrong message (no lectures please. ask anyone who plucks their eyebrows or any of the numerous other painful beauty rituals all of us do). most little girls (especially these) are concerned with beign pretty. but, maybe i should have waited a few years before reinforcing how concerned aunt kk is with looking beautiful. that's horrible, isn't it?
