I'm Missing an Important Girly Gene
I got my haircut this weekend. It looked awesome. Nothing looks better than a blowout (yes gentlemen, women love to get blown too). It's a big deal for me when I get my haircut, because I probably do it about every 6-8 months.
Yes, I said months.
This is my entire hair care regimen: wash every other day with dandruff shampoo.
That's it. I don't dry my hair. I don't curl my hair. I don't put product in my hair. I don't color my hair. I don't even comb my hair.
There are some pros and cons to this lack of maintenance. The cons include the occasional tangle the size of a bird's nest and that my hair is often in a ponytail for lack of a style. The pros are that I could really give a rat's ass if I have a bad hair day and I don't have split ends.
This girly gene that I lack also carries the DNA that would make me buy shoes and accessories. For instance, I hate buying shoes. Not only that, but I hate shoes period. WTF! I mean, can I even call myself a woman? I wish everyone could go barefoot. I have to force myself to buys shoes when the couple of pairs I have at one time (not including a sneaker of some type) start to fall apart.
The big news last month was that I bought a bracelet. I never wear jewelry except for a jade Buddha necklace I never take off. Despite the fact that I don't wear jewelry (or even a watch) I do like it. I've wanted an amber bracelet for a really long time. I finally broke down and spent $85 on this beautiful bracelet. What is interesting about this is that EVERYONE noticed. Even some of my male co-workers. I've been toying with the idea of wearing earrings but I'm afraid I'll give someone a heart attack.
However, I'm not even close to being a tomboy. I love clothes. And before I started focusing on paying off my credit card debt, I used to shop a lot. I still buy clothes on occasion, but I'm just more careful now. Also, I am a spa whore. I promised myself that as long as I work two jobs, I can get a massage once a month. (FYI - if you live in Seattle, the best value in town is New Seattle Massage in the U-District). And don't get me started on make-up and skincare. I know more about make-up and skincare than any 10 women combined.
So for my lack of some stereotypical girly obsessions, there is no doubt I am a girl.
I also have a nice rack.

I love that comments are being removed by the blog administrator! What Susan hasn't told you is that her hair always looks fabulous! It makes me crazy. Her "lack of style" is due largely to the fact that her hair falls perfectly - and I do mean perfectly - into place no matter what she does to it. I'm jealous and it makes me crazy!!!!
Oh - and I have a nice rack too... but Susan's is better at the present time. I'm working on that!
