Are you "pretty"?

[Stephanie Kay]

Hi, girls,

Do you feel comfortable referring to yourself as pretty? Men being called pretty usually has a negative connotation. But I love to refer to myself as pretty and I like calling my T*girlfriends pretty when we are dressed en femme! I see nothing wrong with that. However, my wife goes bananas when I refer to myself as pretty even when I'm being Stephanie. She must have the the same negative feelings about it. What do you think about pretty?

Love,
Stephanie

[Leslie Foxx]

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

[Patricia1]

If we have the right attitude, I think we all see ourselves as pretty. When I was young "lad" someone told me I was handsome. One of my friends contradicted this by saying that I wasn't handsome but pretty, like a girl. I blushed all over & never forgot that I am pretty. Don't you either

[Karren H]

Yeah!!! I'm pretty no matter what clothes I wear!! :)

[DonnaT]

I use to be, when younger. And thinner.

Even my wife said so.

So, no, I don't have a problem with the word.

[Kathleen Grace]

I'm mistaken for female in drab on a regular basis. Dressed? I haven't being out in public for more than 16 years but I have a feeling the same people who call me Mame at the mall will probably call me Sir when I'm dressed. :sad:

Am I pretty? I don't know, below the skin maybe. ;)

[María José]

I´m pretty!!!! :)

[Lorileah]

I am as Gilbert and Sullivan said (multitudes of under 40's are rushing to "google" that) "in the dusk with the light behind me."

Refer to narcissist thread

[Secret Sis]

It's funny... I don't really think of myself as being "pretty"... but I often describe the clothes I like to wear as such.....:battingeyelashes:

[Babette]

People use the "P" word with me all of the time. Just the other day someone told me, "You're pretty ornery." Others comments included, pretty nice, pretty good, occasionally pretty bad, but never pretty wild.

So I am used to it.

Babette

[MissConstrued]

I'm pretty cool, pretty awesome... and pretty effin' nuts.

[alexmusic]

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,laaaaa

[Phyliss]

Trying to get back on subject, after all the PRETTY silly comments, My nail tech has said that my face looks pretty, and has commented that I always wear bright pretty colors when I see her.

You really wouldn't have wanted to see my face five years ago, fat and rather dried out from working outside and not taking care of myself.
Gallons of moistureizer, weight loss, proper sleep, more gallons of skin firmer and lots of makeup, kinda helped.

When she says things like that, you can be sure I thank her and of course the tip goes up too, ( but I think she knows that)

[sweet_pea_07]

why yes i am...just look at my avi!

[deja true]

What's-his-name is about as pretty as Jack Nicholson...(Ewww!)

...but deja cleans up pretty good!

(from far away in a dim room)

:D




I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!


(Now I'm gonna be whistling that darn tune for the rest of day...at work! Fortunately none of the guys in my ofice are old enough to know anything about "West Side Story"...)

[LindaMarie]

I don't know if I'm pretty, but dressing up makes me feel pretty and I love that feeling.

[inquisitiv]

My wife often says I have pretty blue eyes. I'll take that! And while we're mentioning movies, let's not forget De Niro singing about how pretty he felt in "Analyze That".

[Sarah...]

Do you feel comfortable referring to yourself as pretty?

No. But if someone else wants to call me "pretty" then who am I to argue with their perception :)

Sarah...

[Lisa Golightly]

I feel happy and that's as far as it goes... I may be vain, but compliments like that are for others to give... at least that's what I feel...

[iwearstockings]

I've always described myself as nice looking, which is just below good looking, which is below pretty.. but above Shrek!
:^)

[SherriePall]

I have no problem with the word. Often when I dress, I feel pretty. Now, it is for others to decide if I really am or not. If they agree with me, all the better. As for the drab me, I doubt if anyone with a proper command of the English language has ever referred to me as pretty. Am I disappointed?

[Sammy777]

While I don't really use it on myself I won't shy away from someone else calling me it.

First I would thank them for it,
then I would take their keys away before they try to drive that drunk, :lol2:

[kathrynt21]

I feel totally pretty every time I am Kathryn and sometimes when I am not! I think one of the things that appeals to me SO much about dressing is that I GET to be pretty. Men never have that opportunity and I try to take full advantage of every moment. So, YES. I am pretty!

[Sam-antha]

I don't like the word. It is not positive enough.
Me ? In Glasgow dialect, I used to be a "wee Smaassher". In plain English, downright beautiful.
~Samm

[Deborah Jane]

I wasn't sure so i asked Sheila for her opinion

She said.....

"You are more than pretty....You beautiful outside and in....And i mean that" :o:)

[Carole Cross]

In male mode I was often called georgeous by my ex GF before the relationship went south and told I was handsome by a lot of people. En femme I am not pretty but as I get more experience and the hormones start to take effect, I may get better but I don't think I will ever be called pretty. For me transitioning is more about feeling happier within myself and making my outer gender compatible with my inner gender. :daydreaming:

[Kelsy]

Pretty as a frame of mind, yes. I want to be and would consider it a great compliment if someone were to say I was but in reality ,as in physical appearance Probably not.I am working on it though!!:)

Kelsy

[Angel.Marie76]

Since I've been coming out to my friends several of my female friends have said that I make a very pretty girl compared to my manly self. Almost every one of them was shocked when they saw a picture of me dressed fully.. and were like 'Wait, that's YOU??!??!?' HOLY CRAP!!'. Similarly, I've had at least two or three of my males friends now note the same thing, quietly usually.. ;)

I love it, personally, because I feel so much better about myself to hear it from others with NO prompting. As a male, I've always felt ugly, and rarely, never, EVER smiled, and when I did, it felt forced every time. Put me in makeup 'n heels and you'll have a hard time STOPPING me from smiling once the mood strikes. :D

[kristinacd55]

In my mind I am, maybe not in the mirror! :)

[Katrina]

Sometimes I feel pretty...not very often though. My SO did compliment me the last time I got all dolled up, but I think that was a pity comment due to the fact that I was REALLY bummed she made me cut my hair.

[Sherry-Stephanie]

My eyesight ain't all that great....so I'll let you all decide...if I get a "pretty shoe" then I'll wear it...if not then what the heck!!!! I mgiht be shoeless....

[charlie]

When I'm all dressed, coiffed and made up, I just love to be called pretty. I feel pretty as well! Nothing wrong with the word "pretty"!

[Paige.]

Over the course of time I have told a number of my CD friends here that I think they are "pretty" and by that I mean I think they are definitely very feminine and cute looking, if I can use that word as well. I hope I have not unknowingly offended anyone's sensibilities.

Pretty is not a word I use to describe a male, or a CD in drab. Women are pretty and men are handsome. Period.

But many of the CD's on this site go beyond what can genarally be defined as pretty and are gorgeous, attractive women. My attitude is if you present yourself as a woman, then be prepared to accept the compiment of being called pretty.

[trisha59]

I have a nice personality

[Gabrielle Hermosa]

What do you think about pretty?

I honestly prefer to be called a hot, sexy, delicious looking babe! :)

I'll settle for pretty though. I'll take any compliment on my looks so long as it is an honest one. When I'm en femme, I really want to be told I'm pretty or beautiful or sexy or whatever feminine (and hopefully positive) comment people may make about my appearance.

When I look in the mirror at Gabrielle, I expect her to be gorgeous. I try my hardest to make her that way, given the limitations of my own appearance to work with.

Honestly, I don't care if it's a gg, t-girl, guy, or even big foot - I LOVE to be told I'm a hottie when I'm Gabrielle. :)

I don't want to get hit on, just complimented. :)

[Joanne Curl]

As my avatar says "I like to be pretty". I know I'll never be as beautiful as some or the girls on this site but when my hair and makeup are just right and I feel good about what I'm wearing, once in awhile I do feel pretty.
Joanne

[Sigrid Cutie]

well i sure feel pretty, and cute, and i have no problem about that. :)
i love it when some one else calls me pretty.

[kelly1469]

i'd like to think i was pretty - certainly feel pretty when in fem!

[Ruth]

Not every woman can be pretty and as Ruth I don't think I usually look very pretty - but that's OK. My aim is to look somewhat feminine and well-groomed.
And as I'm not trying to attract a man, my prettiness or lack of is no problem.

[Kathi Lake]

I think it comes down to what we say and just what that phrase means. Think about it, most of us say "I feel pretty" (when we say that, of course) - not "I look pretty." When I take the time to dress, I say I feel pretty because I do indeed feel pretty. I feel that real beauty comes from the inside, not caked on from the outside. Don't get me wrong, I find it hard to feel pretty sitting in my BVDs with a days worth of stubble, no makeup, etc. When I dress, I allow my inner beauty to come out. I feel pretty. Others tell me that I am pretty. I wonder, are they seeing what is on the outside or what is on the inside?

For instance, look at my avatar to the left. Not exactly the epitome of perfect feminine beauty (whatever that is), but I like it. I think it shows the beauty, the serenity, and the softness I feel when dressed. So, it's not always about looks for me, but feelings.

Kathi

[TaylorAB]

I have no problem with others saying that I am pretty. I think it is a wonderful compliment. I would not refer to myself that way because I think it would come across as vanity and I wouldn't want to come across that way.

[Kimberly Marie Kelly]

while I was going out, we chatted for a minute or two but she commented first thing that I looked very pretty, I was not presenting as a woman 100%, just my normal feminine pants, blouse and makeup. No wig or forms.. It made my evening when a beautiful women told me I was pretty and meant it. :battingeyelashes:

[msginaadoll]

That is a tuff one. I still remember being told I look like "Fred Flintstone in drag" when a guy saw my pic. Im still working on my look. Not sure really what I am other than Gina, and working on being more comfortable in my skin. A big thing for me is not trying to compare myself to others or try for something unattainable. I am who I am warts and all.

[Sam-antha]

I wasn't sure so i asked Sheila for her opinion

She said.....

:o:)

Honest now Debs, what were you not sure of ?
Your translation ? Or doyou doubt me ?

~Samm

[Dalece]

Well have men looked at me and have told me I'm pretty. Some days i do somedays i don't if i feel my make up and things are right i do other times i dought myself.

[Carin]

A couple of years ago, while still in the closet, and maybe androgynous on the outside, an acquaintance said that I looked "attractive", then after thinking about it for a moment, she said that she meant "handsome". I wonder what she really saw.

These days I do get a variety of compliments, "attractive", "pretty", "that color suits you". I like those complements any way they come. I don't think I try to be 'pretty'. Stylish is good.

[Jess_cd32]

Well I thought about telling my SO I was going upstairs to make myself 'pretty' but that only would have brought more wrath upon me verbally:doh:.......so I said I'm going up to make myself gorgeous and only got a nasty snear for using that word:)

[Elise.Matei]

Are you "pretty"?

Yes, very.

Next question please...

[Jilmac]

Hi Steph, Jill here, let me give you my 2 cents worth. Throughout my life I have always considered myself an ugly duckling. As a kid, I had buck teeth. As a teen I wore braces (to correct the buck teeth) but I was also nearsighted and wore coke bottle glasses, and to top it off I had a face full of acne. Oh how I silently longed to be pretty like a girl.

In my mid twenties I grew a beard to conceal my ugliness and kept it continuously for 37 years. During that time I was way back in the closet so I was unconcerned about being seen in public in a dress and a beard. When I would see my image in a mirror or in my camcorder, I admired my femme self from the neck down.

Since my wife passed away and I have come out, the beard is gone, the makeup goes on, along with the dress and accessories and I am PRETTY. In drab, I'm just an ordinary guy, but en femme I'm actually proud that I can emulate women to the fullest. NOW I CAN SAY I'M PRETTY.

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

I like to think I am, and I try very hard to be, but beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder ;)

[Julie513]

Do I like the term "pretty" when applied to how I look? ABSOLUTELY! I will never be "gorgeous" or "sexy", but with some work I can try to be pretty. If someone notices and compliments me with that description, I am thrilled.
Julie

[Mitzi]

Depends on what I wear... In some outfits I really think I look pretty. In outfits that just aren't that flattering, I feel just so so... Also depends on the wig to a surprising degree. I have one wig which makes me look and feel especially pretty, but it's a bit too "big hair" ish for going out.

The occasional "gee you're pretty" compliments have come from other T-girls, rarely, if ever from a guy. Guess they feel like sissies if they tell someone they're pretty. Women say "you look nice".

Mitzi

[kellycan27]

My mom says I am pretty.....weird! My b/f says I am pretty.

[Jan W]

Don't know if I am or I am not.

Who cares?

Not looking for compliments only acceptance.

[Annemarie]

Pretty ; OED definition, "attractive in a delicate way without being truly beautiful or handsome" . a pretty child, a pretty dress[I]
No sometimes I am considered gorgeous or beautiful, but I've never been considered just pretty.

[TGMarla]

Pretty? I do my best to try to be. And sometimes I pull it off better than at other times. My perception of myself is that I'm pretty, and I'm trying to be pretty. Others here tell me that I am, and I always appreciate that. But it's always in the eyes of the beholder, whether it's me or someone else. I certainly enjoy feeling pretty. And I hope others see me that way. I try.

[jackieo]

I would hope so!(In the words of Dolly Parton,It take a lot of time and money to look this trashy)LOL:kickbutt:

[Empress Lainie]

The most wonderful gift I have received after my transition to living 24/7 as a female was the words: "You are so beautiful" which I heard not only once but many times and from people I didn't even know. Then I heard one woman tell me "You are so sexy," the first time I went out in a tank top with no bra.

I have had my old gf say many times: "You look so pretty in that outfit." She has also told me I am beautiful. She has also said many times: "You have great legs." (My leg pictures have been downloaded by people unknown to me over 5000 times. My picture over 100,000 times.)

I am still in awe of the woman I have become. I am so happy with the way I look now, and never was before transition day.

My exgf told me last night that I really was born female, it shows in everything I do and the way I act. That also made me feel good.

So these wonderful words have been a real blessing to me. And I have many guys in their 20's hit on me after seeing my pictures on another forum. And do I love it? You better believe it.

[SuzyZahn]

Looking pretty and most of all feeling pretty is why i probably dress,,,,such a wonderful enthralling feeling,,,never had these feelings in drab mode,,,,,its wonderful to kinda finally `feel sexy`,,,,my two cents

[sometimes_miss]

Pretty. Yeah. In my dreams. Reality is another matter entirely.

[MissConstrued]

And I have many guys in their 20's hit on me after seeing my pictures on another forum.


And if I smoke enough crack, I'll make the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

[Leanne2]

Just call me Kay Sarah, Kay Sarah, whatever will be will be. I don't think that I am pretty but I seem to be able to pass most of the time. But Paige, if that is your real picture then you are pretty. Just call me jealous. Leanne

[CharleneT]

It has taken me 3 pages of waiting to get up the nerve to answer this one. Mostly because beauty is sooo subjective. But, I would have to say that I am not pretty. As a male, I'm told I'm handsome. But pretty, nah. I wish I was and I try to emphasize things to go in that direction. I think I look normal though, and I am very thankful for that.

[JaytoJillian]

Dressing always makes me feel good on the inside, but never "pretty."

[LOVE2]

i no i look good as a women my wife makes me look very like a women i am in elyria ohio looking for a freind :hugs:

[StephanieC]

No, I don't consider myself pretty and do not aspire to that term. I hope people don't call me ugly.:straightface:

[CD Susan]

I have never been told I look pretty and probably is because I am not. I have been told I look nice and I am happy with that. When you get to be in your 60's being told you look pretty just doesn't happen very often. Of course I am speaking about myself and do not mean to include everyone my age.

[Tasha McIntyre]

Am i pretty? Most probably not, but I suppose that's for others to judge. When I get things right I certainly feel sensational, and that's what matters.

Cheers

Tash :)

[Dawn Marie]

Fifteen years ago I was called pretty in both modes, but now I'm just glad to know that I feel pretty when all dressed up.

[TJ Tresa]

Ir depends, if I go all out and do the whole makeup, wig, pretty dress, yes I think I'm pretty. My wife has told me that I'm prettier than some of the women we meet in puplic, some of which I would have to agree.
When wear male clothes, no I'm just a regular joe, nothing special.

[Sissy Jen]

The word "Pretty" is how I feel when en femme. All the sensations running together inside me are like little bubbles and the result is a joy when I look in the mirror and see "my feminine self". My wife has become accustomed to and accepting of Sissy Jen and has often complimented an outfit or my appearance in general as Pretty. The highest compliment ever was when she told me I looked "clean, fresh & pretty". Pretty is a feminine word & one I love directed to me.

[Kate Simmons]

Now that is kind of a loaded question Stephanie, although one "girl" I can think of in particular on here is pretty full of herself. I'm not sure "pretty" is the right word necessarily. I think poise and confinence are more important whether we happen to be a "looker" or not.:)

[Andrea_girl]

my SO says im pretty and i take that as a compliment

[Rachel Morley]

Do you feel comfortable referring to yourself as pretty?
Referring to myself as pretty? ... err no. I never do that. Not becuase I have a problem with "pretty" it's just that I don't think I ever can be. I like to think that I can sometimes look "cute" when dressed but I don't consider myself "pretty" by any stretch of the imagination. :sad: Now my wife on the other hand .......

My wife occasionally says she thinks I look pretty if we are all dressed up and ready to go out to TG function together somewhere, but mostly both of us focus on "feeling cute" :D

[TGMarla]

I think you're pretty, Rachel. Inside and out, dear. :battingeyelashes:

[Rachel Morley]

:o ... awe shucks! I love you too Marla :) :hugs:

[CatAttack]

I would very much like to be

[PretzelGirl]

Now that is kind of a loaded question Stephanie, although one "girl" I can think of in particular on here is pretty full of herself. I'm not sure "pretty" is the right word necessarily. I think poise and confinence are more important whether we happen to be a "looker" or not.:)

I think I know who you are referring to and I agree with you there. But I don't think pretty is a bad word for some of us. We (some) are trying to emulate females and if we do a good job between clothes selection, make-up and hair, then pretty is a good compliment for us.

[Stacye Rose]

Only in my dreams.

[Leslie Mary S]

Nope I NEVER se myself as pretty unless it is "PRETTY UGLY". But time has taken its toll. I am just another old maid,

[VeronicaMoonlit]

Do you feel comfortable referring to yourself as pretty?

No, because I'm not.

I have no problem with the word itself and I like to wear pretty things that make me feel good but I'm not so blind as to refer to myself as being pretty. Just once though, I'd like to hear my wife say ... that slip or dress or shift looks pretty on you ... but I don't think that will ever happen.

[Jenniferpl]

i think that being pretty is the way you see yourself and how you feel on the inside. Remember that beauty(being pretty) comes from within!

[Magickman]

No!

Definitely not pretty. Not a pretty boy and not a pretty girl.

But women like to tell me I am cute, when I am dressed up. The guy in heels and a skirt is cute, they say.

I think it is a sexual game. They are trying to decide if I will play.

Usually, I just flirt a little, maybe a dance or two. Sometimes, the women get all heated up.

Honest. I am just a guy in heels and a skirt, with a brightly painted manicure.

The girls are somehow attracted to my schtick, and I have fun with it.

And the thing is, that it is all about how you carry yourself. Just that.

I was out yesterday trying to take care of business (3 1/2 hours driving one way). Stopped midway and ended up getting my hair shampooed/cut/layered and blow dried. I know I wasn't pretty when I walked in the door but OH when I left, I felt Oh so pretty inside. I also heard the words as I was leaving. I'll chaulk that up to an experienced SA but it felt good, even it I know(???) it's not true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Jennifer Brooks]

"Am I pretty?" Um...............NO! I am told from time to time that I am from a few kind ladies here and some of the pics from my collection grab me but as I look at 'em for a period of time, I see nothing that is pretty. It's probably a good thing that I do feel that I am pretty because I can at times be full of myself and that would lead me to feel, on this forum, that my S**t doesn't stink and I would not be as nice as I am now to people who really deserve it. I am Jennifer Brooks the average girl who just like to dress and show off her brown eyes and a smile. Make sense? :daydreaming:

It's funny, when I look at myself in a mirror I feel pretty, but when I look at pictures of myself I think I'm still far from pretty in the traditional sense of the word. Then again, I haven't tried to pass in public yet. When the time comes that I look at a picture of myself and say "hey, she really IS pretty," then it will probably be time to grab my purse, step out the door, and go public.

[osteph]

I don't know if I'm pretty, but dressing up makes me feel pretty and I love that feeling.

This sums it up for me.
I know I am anything but pretty ........but in my head and the way I feel............I can be a 'stunner'.
I have no desire to frighten anyone............as I certainly would if I ever appeared in public.


I think you're pretty, Rachel. Inside and out, dear. :battingeyelashes:

I have to second that!

[Paige.]

Pretty fat, Pretty Ugly, Pretty Dumb but i do have Pretty Frinds

MJ,
I am ashamed of you! I have attractive, pretty friends too and you are definitely one of them. I think much of the "prettiness" spoken about here is internal to each of us, how you feel about yourself, not how others see you physically. When you glow with confidence of who you are it is recognized by all those that see you and it doesn't matter your gender. There are many fat, ugly, deformed, disabled, buck-toothed, flat-chested, skinny people in this world and they can all be pretty if they choose to be.

Assignment: Tell me at least three things that you like about yourself, three things that in your opinion make you an interesting and attractive lady.

[xAnne_Mariex]

Sometimes I look at myself when dressed and think I look quite pretty, but I dunno, I rarely look at myself either in male/fem mode and think yeah I look handsome/pretty, i'm happy with my appearance but I don't like to blow my own trumpet so to speak :tongueout

[Raychel]

When I am dressed up, I feel content and somewhat realxed, But certainly not pretty. I will definitly save that word for the hot women in the world. Not some old guy in a dress.

[iwearstockings]

pretty? no, nice looking yes but sadly not at all photogenic!

[Juliet Simone]

Here's why. I just recently went out for the first time (see my avatar), with a scarf over my head ala Jackie O to hide my maleness. I haven't been choosing clothes for pretty, but instead for sexy personal time (I still don't know how to choose a wardrobe). As I get closer to being a woman, my desire for a classy and pretty look is developing. I will get there but I will need a wig and make-up before I consider myself pretty. The term pretty doesn't bother me.
Ta Ta,
Juliet

[Miranda09]

Yes, I guess that when I'm dressed up with wig, forms etc, when I look into the mirror I do see a pretty women....but it helps to do the makeup and lipstick to soften the male features. :)

[MJ]

Pretty fat, Pretty Ugly, Pretty Dumb but i do have Pretty Friends

OK so i gained a lot of weight thats enough to depress anyone :hugs:. so my feeling are valid.

Assignment: Tell me at least three things that you like about yourself, three things that in your opinion make you an interesting and attractive lady.

i would categorize myself as Beautiful ... thats tall and cute :)

my Assignment:-
1. compassion ..... i care about my friends i have found no one who can compare to my brothers and sisters here who show talent artistic form and creativity. from such beautiful people

2. sense of humor ...... when you dress like this you got to have a séance of humor ...... why so serous ?

3. ??? OK so 2 out of 3 ain't bad. that is a tough question let me think about it

i have no problems with being told i'm pretty......regular guys probably would see it as a slight, but we're not 'regular guys' are we?

Thank you Paige. Like a breath of fresh air, you put it all in perspective so well.

Of course I am pretty! Just kidding. I also know that there is something call reality...:sad:

"Somewhat presentable" is more like it.

[linnea]

I would like to be pretty.

[joann426]

[LilSissyStevie]

Peoples' first reaction upon meeting me is usually to grab their pepper spray. If they saw me en femme, they would probably use it. :heehee:

[Farrah]

Yes, my female persona love being called pretty, cute, are any other girly word that fits me.

[docrobbysherry]

Which is why I cheat! I have discovered, to my amazement, that I can create a female illusion, that I find attractive.:eek:

And, at present, a pretty illusion is QUITE enough for me!:brolleyes:

[Sophie Lynne]

I am not pretty yet.

But I will be

[Dressing Jill]

I feel pretty, I have very pretty hands. I have pretty clothes. I have pretty feet. I have a pretty body. I have the face of a man that is pretty tuff. I like pretty.

I often tell my friends after I have my nails done that I have the prettiest hands.

I feel pretty awesome most of the time. The rest of the time I just feel pretty.

Hugs:gh:

Jill






There is always room for more friends in ones heart:sf:

[Carly D.]

Oh, so pretty,

And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

I always wondered how that went.. can you do that pick a peck or pickled peppers thing?? anyway I like yer style..

My daughter has seen my high-school yearbook pic. She smiled at me one day and said that today I'd have been called a "pretty boy". Well, 2 years later genetics took over and my upper body expanded so even though the face was still there, the body was no longer the same (and I fight that every time I dress...grrr). Also, time has taken it's toll, so I don't think pretty is a word I'd associate with Tina.

I don't think she's ugly, but I do think that "average" would be the better word. In many ways I like that. Many of the avatars in this thread, I must say, show many of us to be more than just pretty! In many cases the word is stunning! I'm just average and I like it that way. It just attracts less attention and that's just fine with me!
