SUR FEMMES

I am finally convinced that there is something wrong with a woman who does not manicure her nails and tend her eyebrows.

Actes du petit toilettage are neither time consuming nor expensive. A waxed eyebrow, with a little tending, will serve for a couple of months. In the summer, pedicures and painted toenails become necessary. Well applied varnish on toenails can last well over a week. There can be no excuse. Not to tend to scraggy nails and inappropriate hairs is an act of passive-aggressiveness by any woman.

A touch of the unnecessary in her dress is good too. A decorative belt, or bracelet, or scarf. It should go without saying that tracksuits, fleeces and trainers should not be worn in public. They are a crime against womanhood at any time of the year.

In my utopia, women wear canary yellow clothes and red lips to work in the summer. They do not wear anoraks in the winter.

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction:
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher:
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly:
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat:
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.



ne c'est pas ?

Hmmmm. Lace, ribbands, petticoats, but no mention of fleece jackets. Pourquoi?!

I would be a sure winner in any TV quiz games called
"Which Personality Disorder Are You?" ... because I know that 'passive-aggressive' is actually the perfectly groomed woman.

The dishevelled woman is aggressive-aggressive.

definitely.

Now take my daughter, please!.
She religiously performs the complete face routine, no matter how late or drunk she is on homecoming.
Since I have fallen into bed wearing full-slap many times, and sometimes fully clothed as well, she just slays me.

Moderation In All Things.
that's the way to go.

I'm all for extremes, myself!

Now I've got France out of my system, I'm happy to be yeti woman.

(At all times however, no matter where I am, my tongue is firmly in my cheek)
