I can hear the my Mom's voice echoing in my head, "Just put on something nice - it'll make you feel better."<br />Ah, so true - and that goes for the opposite too! Ever try going out with friends for a night on the town after coming directly from, say, work? Trying to get your groove on in saggy trousers, a cardigan and remnants of coffee dribbled down the front... not so much fun.<br />P.S. This whole television male stereotype thing is totally something that I have recently become very worried about. I am more and more disturbed by my boyfriend's idolization of Homer Simpson, George Costanza and Charlie Sheen's character in that awful "Men" show. I refuse to become a Marge.Katehttp://www.katewestby.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-19939536426779556022009-09-11T13:27:29.348-07:002009-09-11T13:27:29.348-07:00I think this could apply to me today...I think this could apply to me today...Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643729052886004587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-27367663655847120312009-09-11T10:09:39.666-07:002009-09-11T10:09:39.666-07:00great post! it's so true. you are the only one...great post! it's so true. you are the only one in charge of how you feel, and you need to take accountability for your own happinessErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13723831068493481711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-74698302514013617292009-09-11T07:54:45.351-07:002009-09-11T07:54:45.351-07:00This is so true!

I acquired the habit(or neurosis) from my very stylish, lady-like mother of never leaving the house without makeup on/hair done, in pajamas, etc. This has much to do with my own confidence at feeling put together, and isn't about anyone else's opinion of my appearance. Even if it's as simple as taking a shower, the ritual of getting ready to face the world makes me *feel* as though I can conquer anything.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231290320886593470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-52581391690999625482009-09-10T23:57:20.013-07:002009-09-10T23:57:20.013-07:00Hello from the most isolated city in the world! an...Hello from the most isolated city in the world! and a very conservative one too.<br /><br />i had hot pink hair (now white blonde) and am renowned for wearing bright colours and jumpers with horses, koalas and pumas all over them because they make me happy. <br /><br />you're totally spot on. <br /><br />also, i love that the owrd verification for the post is one letter off being "bunsicle", an iced arse-based treat.<br /><br />NinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-59864933550160878452009-09-10T21:35:48.808-07:002009-09-10T21:35:48.808-07:00very, very true words! i love how you put things i...very, very true words! i love how you put things into perspective. plus, the sitcom husband part was hilarious :))<br /><br />xxooDaianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816879890524290242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-64841761050999841092009-09-10T21:22:11.580-07:002009-09-10T21:22:11.580-07:00Thanks for this!
