What's so awful 'bout unibrows, chub, and aging?

Yeah we do, and it’s darn expensive.

But isn’t he just as pretty as a peach?

Now, you know what would be really sexy? Geisha makeup with a big red rubber nose. HONK!

Actually, as a former student of tea ceremony, I wore geisha-like clothing relatively often when I was in Japan. Minus the crazy makeup. It was always free, and even I needed just a tiny bit of glamor to make up for all the time I spent in a hideous school uniform (godawful grey thing that bore no resemblance to the cute schoolgirls uniforms seen in manga and Japanese porn).

Hey, maybe that’s why my friend is obsessed with eyebrows and lip liner! Can school uniforms be a factor in making people more fashion-focused than they would be if they had a choice about what to wear? Hmm . . . :ponder:

I had to wear a flowered blue dress in summer with a pillar box redsweater and in winter, the red sweater, blue and white checked blouse, navy skirt, navy socks with red stripes and a sexy navy blazer in winter and navy shoes. Hair tied back at regulation angle. They got rid of school hats, the year before I started, praise be. Did it affect my fashion sense? Well, I spent most of my teens visible from space and covered in manmade fibres so flammable that I’d have looked like post Desert Storm Kuwait if anyone had exposed me to naked flame.

The result: through dressing like a British Rail hostess throughout school I have absolutely no sense of shame/style about clothing whatsoever. I buy most of my clothes at the same place I buy groceries although I do seem to have a lot of grey wool.
