Last night at a friend's party in a very hip enclave of Denver, I saw at least four women wearing toe grazing maxi dresses.EmilyRisneurotic,toonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-61124661115405490862010-08-16T02:20:41.693+12:002010-08-16T02:20:41.693+12:00Casey, don't feel threatened.

My husband doesn't see me dressed for work/outings. <br /><br />Last night we went to a big outdoor get together. He bought me a pretty summer dress, I did my face and hair; I felt so beautiful. Sex/attraction is related to how we present ourselves! Long married, we are often too sloppy in appearance.<br /><br />Thanks again for your post.

Add living on a farm to that and, as you can imagine, is isn't pretty. <br /><br />When I do go somewhere and do the whole hair and makeup thing, it feels like going to a costume party.injaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-33266099524627083632010-08-15T10:17:55.268+12:002010-08-15T10:17:55.268+12:00I remember that!

My love wears very little makeup, keeps her hair long, is big on comfortable clothes and often chooses function over fashion. But that's way different than looking like she just wandered in from the bedroom and is looking for her first cup o' joe.<br /><br />It boils down to sex, I think. We both like it and we both continue to do things to attract the other.<br /><br />Perhaps that's too personal, but I truly believe that sex is directly connected to how we supposed adults present ourselves.<br /><br />I'm going to go now. I just got the feeling like I accidentally walked into a room full of women, tried to tell them their business, and now it's deadly silent and one of them is holding a knife. <br /><br />I'll come back when I can behave better.<br /><br />CaseyCasey Freelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258967374124497696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-46305955829574695542010-08-15T03:13:03.401+12:002010-08-15T03:13:03.401+12:00And I meant wear not were. whoops.And I meant wear not were. whoops.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-5133747447999153002010-08-15T03:12:34.198+12:002010-08-15T03:12:34.198+12:00I continue to were these battle fatigued army gree...I continue to were these battle fatigued army green capris that I got from Old Navy 'round about 2004 because no matter how fat or how thin I might be, they seem to get grandfathered into the wardrobe.<br /><br />My daughter stopped reminding me a couple of years ago that capris are a fashion Don't for short women.<br /><br />But for some reason I still put on lipstick every day. It's my one reminder of the old days, I guess, when I actually showered before noon and put on "real" clothes.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-73308326585809861302010-08-15T02:19:41.918+12:002010-08-15T02:19:41.918+12:00Your writing is brilliant, never mind about the dr...Your writing is brilliant, never mind about the dress sense!

I just put in in an ugly ponytail/bun thing. <br /><br />Until I go out with some friends. Who are usually younger than me. And hipper. And more fashionable. And then I'm that woman they can't believe is 40. (Because my hair looks like a 4 year old's).<br /><br />Speaking of beauty maintenance routines, I (ahem) HAD to wear a granny looking swim-mini skirt thing to the pool when invited by my bikini wearing girlfriend. <br /><br />I think I've said way too much...EmilyRisneurotic,toonoreply@blogger.com
