A few weeks ago, I was back in the assembly area and one of the ladies noticed my acrylic nails. She asked if they were acrylic and I said yes. She then asked if I was using clear nail polish and again I said yes. She then showed my hands to one of her co-workers and she was impressed. Then another co-worker asked why I had them done. Before I could answer the first lady told her many men were now getting their nails done properly. Even her husband goes with her to her nail salon and gets his done. Now I have four ladies all looking at my nails, chatting with me and among themselves. Guess I went from being one of the guys to one of the girls. Any way I had to get back to work, as I was getting a little uncompy when I noticed on of my male co-workers staring at us. A few days later I was in the lunchroom and these four were eating lunch and invited me to join them. So I now eat my lunch with these four. It felt good because before I would come into the lunchroom and they would be there eating and I would say hello and that would be it. It makes my day to sit and chat with these four. It is kinda like being one of the girls. LOL.
The other day I decided to start using an eyebrow pencil on my brows to tone down the gray hairs and my wife noticed what I was doing. She kinda shook her head and rolled her eyes and nothing was said. She knows I’m a little weird anyway. Yesterday morning I was getting ready for work and my wife looked at my eyebrows and again shook her head. She asked me for my eyebrow pencil and touched up my brows. She did remark that it did make my brows look better, which was a relief to me. I know I have been pushing the envelope and was glad she didn’t think much of it. No one noticed until lunch yesterday when one of the ladies I was eating lunch with the ladies remarked that eyebrows looked really nice. I said that I was using a pencil to tone down the gray. she smiled and asked why I didn’t color my hair too. I said I used to but I developed an allergy to the hair dye. Then the topic changed to makeup and this one lady remarked that men were using more makeup and asked me if I used any makeup. It never fails to be asked a question like this when you have your mouth full of food and can’t talk. So these four are now staring at me waiting for my answer and I’m trying to swallow my food and thinking what to tell them. So finally I can talk again and I say that I do use moisturizer, a little firming cream on my face and I do touch up my eyebrows. I explained that my sister and wife thought it would help make me look younger while I was looking for a job last year and I kinda got used to it. One lady said her youngest son wears makeup to high school and such. I raised an eyebrow and she quickly said that a lot of the boys in his school were now wearing makeup. She did not say why and I did not ask. LOL I guess the metro sexual look is now into high school.
