The usual gang had a pot-luck last night. Lots of good food, wine, laughter and general madness (as usual). Heaps of giggles over pulled groin muscles, penis puppetry, Paris Hilton, left-hand-love, whether guys can hit on girls their friends have hit on unsuccessfully and all manner of things risque. The boys were vigourously denouncing Victoria Beckham's butt in the new Beckham husband-and-wife perfume advertisment.
G : (waves magazine around and points at the offending backside) Hey! Look at this, tell me this isn't Victoria Beckham's butt! It's too big!
Me : *peers over his shoulder* Yup, it looks more like JLo's bum.
A : *takes the magazine and squints at her bum* Cannot be her backside-lah, she usually so anorexic-skinny, how come her ass suddenly so big?
C : Must be photoshopped, Victoria has no ass at all!
And the conversation moves on to R's clubbing experience just this last Friday. He was out with his friends and didn't manage to pick up any chicks because his friends had hit on the ones he was interested in and even though the girls weren't interested, they were now out of bounds to him. Maybe this is some male-etiquette /bros before ho's/ honour among bradders thing that girls (like me) just don't get. If a guy (A) has hit on a girl and got knocked back, why can't his friend (B) hit on the same girl? What if the girl is totally not interested in A but really likes B but he can't make a move because of the rule? And say the girl gets frustrated enough to approach B, what happens? What if B goes to the dentist tomorrow and bumps into the same girl, can he hit on her then? Hmmm.. Very confusing...
Just as R was lamenting on the lack of pretty girls (in clubs and everywhere else), G pipes up and said:
"Nowadays when people say a girl is pretty, you have to ask them what they mean.
Do they mean that the girl is naturally pretty, or do they mean the girl is
pretty when she is made-up. It's a lot of difference, you know."
I agree. Some girls are pretty naturally (eg: Amanda, Yezi, Cara, Joyce, Kaleen etc). They don't need make-up even though they may use it lightly to enhance what they have. They are sweet-faced, their skin is clear, their eyes are bright and they have colour in their cheeks. They look good whether they have just woken up, just came out of the shower or have just applied make-up. Whether they are in a ball gown, shorts and slippers or pajamas, they still look good.
OTHER girls however, look good only when they are made-up and dressed-up. They will never show their I-just-woke-up face in public, not for all the money in the world. You'll never catch them looking anything less than glamourous, even if it means they disappear into the toilets for ages every hour to re-apply their "face" and that they will go grocery shopping in sky-high heels and eye-popping cleavage. In college, I personally knew some girls who would wake up EARLY in the morning to spend 2 hours (!) making-up, doing their hair and getting dressed. All that just to go to college. What a waste of make-up! It's worse in university, especially in summer, especially the first-years.
Me? It depends on my mood and how much time I have. Most days I spend in my Lucky jeans, a polo tee and my birkenstocks. If I have the time and I'm in the mood, I might rock up in black leather boots, miniskirt, lipgloss and mascara. Or a cute sundress. Or I can just stay at home wearing nothing but lavender-scented bath bubbles. Actually, I'll go and do that right now....
