Maybe we hate to admit it, but a lot of us "gurls", myself included, just are not conventionally femininely pretty. No matter how hard we try.
How important is it to you that you, as a woman, be considered "pretty"?
Make up and clothes can give us the regalia of femininity, but are we striving to attain the basic "pretty" appellation that puts the stamp of approval on our hobby?
If you are able to attain real prettiness as a woman, do you think you feel differently than the CD'er who even MAC can't help?
Lot of questions but let's do one more.
If you can't attain real feminine prettiness, do you think any less of yourself as a woman and do you think others dismiss you more easily as the woman you want to be?
