Women put on make up for women
Today is laundry day. I love this picture simply because it sums up very nicely my day and it hasn't been photoshopped in any way. The sky is this beautiful and the weather is sunny - Spring has sprung!
I trimmed and plucked my eyebrows, and I realised that it is a grave misconception that women dress up for men. No. Women dress up for other women.
Like most men, my husband is the last person who would notice that my eyebrows are neatened, much less that the errant hair has been plucked. And if he does compliment me on my eyebrows this evening, I'd know he has been following my posts.
So, why do I keep my eyebrows neat? Simply because I have to be seen in public, by other women, and I would notice if a woman thought it okay to leave the house without so much as an effort to look presentable. I am just not one of those women who are blessed with naturally shaped and neat eyebrows, and if you are - I envy you.
I dress up for my husband but it only goes as far as wearing his favourite colour or preferred style. But when I choose my shoes, that's for the women.
Simply because, we would notice when someone walks by in a great pair of shoes.
On a side note, because she's reading - HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY DARLING COUSIN!!
