Honestly, you just sound like a bad joke to me. All of this "I get the vapors something awful" and "hotter than a fresh blueberry tart" nonsense? You're more scripted than an episode of As The World Turns.

Cheers, honey.
I havent heard any Southern women say the vapor word unless they were being sarcastic, lol!

Like Kshe, the only time I have ever heard an old Southern lady say "the vapors" was if she was being sarcastic. But I have heard middle-aged try-hards say it.

My grandma is both old and southern (from low-class Alabama, as it were!), and even she wouldn't be caught dead talking in earnest about "vapors," or trotting out this tired "hotter than a fresh blueberry tart" prattle unless she were acting a community theatre parody of Tennessee Williams or dressing up as Miz Scaaah-lett for a costume party.

or an episode of Designing Women, which had a lot of subtle skewering of stuff like this!

Who responded to whom first? I believe I was just minding my business until this woman came in to start prodding me about my background. I am a well-respected member of my community who wears make up all the time. If you don't like it, click on another thread topic.

If you don't like my phrases and mannerisms, you can move on too. I didn't tell you to read my posts, nor to respond. But I guess it's clear that you truly have nothing better to do with you time. So sad. Bless your heart.

No, honey.....Bless Your Heart!
Have another cocktail, you'll feel much better about yourself. I can see you are in much need of it.
BTW, this isnt your thread, so dont be telling anyone to move on.

Aren't you just a doll?

If I don't like it, I'll critique it. This is a discussion, after all.

foundation/power
eyeshadow
blush
mascara
eyeliner
eyebrows shaped
Lipgloss/Lipstick

you can add more like concealer, bronzer, etc. if needed but you at least need to be wearing the basics or you might as well not wear any make up at all.

Do you agree?
I'm terribly sorry, but I do not agree. Guys are much attracted to all-natural girls.
I'm not saying you should do nothing to your face. Eat right, aplly natural stuff like rubbing into your skin avocado to make it more soft or drinking lemon juice to maintan health, even color of your skin, etc.
