I have my hair permed because it's just lifeless without curls
I have my eyebrows threaded every other month
I shave my legs and have my bikini area waxed
I put fake tan on now since NYC isn't as sunny as Phoenix

Oh dear! Sounds like some maintenance is in order!
Hair coloured and cut every 6 weeks
Nails- acrylic and infilled regularly
Eyebrows home waxed
Eyelashes home dyed
Normal defuzzing elsewhere
Natural tan now assisted with St Tropez tan intensifyer
Gym work out about 4 times a week (for health and fitness as well as weight)
Teeth whitened (a long time ago now)
Boob implants (after in depth research) now I can look reasonable in a dress
Botox, hell yes!
Is it all fakery? Taking care of what you have is the best line of defence. Am I fooling the opposite sex? Who cares, and what's it got to do with them anyway0 -

I put henna on my hair - but it's the same colour as my actual hair, it just makes it very shiny.
Other than that I shave legs, pits and bits, wear makeup for special occasions, and have three tattoos. That's it. I like being very pale-skinned and am lucky enough not to need foundation/concealer. My eyebrows are sparse normally (fortunately, because they are red like my hair) and my lashes are very dark.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

I'm quite low maintenance. I have to have my hair cut and coloured with henna regularly. I also like to have regular facials and waxing on legs/underarms/Hollywood.
I like having a regular and consistent skincare regime. I use makeup on a daily basis. I also have my eyebrows shaped regularly0 -

All that effort to look cheap and nasty. What's the point?
Au natural is much more attractive than the plastic bimbo look. Watch "Snog, marry or avoid" on BBC3. It's a make under show.
The plastic bimbo look usually gets an avoid when pictures are shown to strangers and the natural look gets mostly snog or marry.
Fake boobs are just awful. They might get you the attention you crave when they're under cover, but they're hideous things in the flesh. Would seriously put me off someone.
Tattoos are even worse. So tacky. Makes people look like they chew backy and spit it on the floor.
Admittedly, being fake and tarty gets you attention when out, but who from? leary drunks who think they're on to a sure thing.
Most blokes want a pretty, natural "nice" wife. I'm sure fake/tarty woman get treated far worse for it.
I have to agree. My wife used to be into all that stuff and she looked 10 years older. Now finances mean we can no longer afford it and she loooks so much better. I cringe when I see 30+ women with fake tan/nails etc. They look so much older.
This thread has made me very sad, especially the number of women having boob jobs.0 -
What an interesting thread!!
* Hair extensions 60% of the time
* Pluck eyebrows and leg and underarm and bikini line hair removal
* Occasional lipgloss/lipstick.
I suffer with eczema so have to care for my skin as much as possible, so take certain vits and use shea butter and coconut oil on my skin."I did then, what I knew then. And when I knew better, I did better"0
