For the last two months we have had company staying at our house for one reason or another, ( Grandchild being born, Christmas, etc.) , and last night after work was the first time since that I was able to relax. So I did my hair, put on make and a nice dress. After finishing that, I went to the wine cabinet to pour my wife and I our nightly 1/2 glass of wine ( for medicinal purposes of course), and found out we hadn't restocked since all the holiday fiascos. So I putter down to the store and get little. Come back home and we proceed to la tee da the rest of the evening away sitting on the back patio. Very nice holiday closure.
Then ( and here, finally, is the reason for the post ) this morning I get up and look in the mirror. Good Lord, what a change. Ewwww. I really get depressed when I transform back. As a "society acceptable" male, no make-up etc. I feel so --- shall I say Less Than Optimum or shall I say Unfinished? It's always the same. Once I do myself up I'm reminded of the potential this face has (note: didn't say I ever reach it). It's so sad to know where I really am in daily reality. I can only assume it's the same feeling that some Gg's feel when they look in the mirror before they put on their make-up every day. But... they get to put on make-up. Socially acceptable males have to live with who they are. Good days as well as bad.
So take heart all you Gg's that feel it's a pain in the tush to "have to" put on make-up every day - at least you have the options.
