Dwellar Secrets

[casimendocina]

(As a general comment and not because I count myself in the category described by Sarge).

I don't wear very much makeup at all but putting on at least a layer of foundation and powder has become like getting dressed or brushing my hair or my teeth. If you leave the house without doing these things, you feel uncomfortable. Stupid, I know, but it's a habit.

I also think of the chapter in Almost French where the writer is about to go to the bakery in her tracksuit pants as she would in Australia and her French partner begs her not to go without getting dressed 'properly' (as the French do). When she asks why, his answer is "it's not fair to the baker".
