I feel comfortable wearing lipstick for reasons I value, and for reasons I choose. I enjoy the makeup I wear, and don't feel oppressed for having bought or worn it. I'm pretty okay repurposing my own aesthetics for me.

I wear heels for my own reasons too.

The frat questionnaire came out because:

Though the full questionnaire hasn't been released, according to student blogs, the last question got out when a new member sent the document to a teaching assistant instead of his homework

I'd love to think that was Freud at work, or someone trying to evade taking responsibility for exposing the behaviour of the frat, instead of just a really stupid mistake.

You are not a movement whose purported raison d'etre is to embody women's power, though. You are an individual, not a social statement.

I am sitting in the oncologist's office for my three month check up.

I am wearing a dress.

This is your brain on Tamoxifen.

apparently, lipstick is no longer an economic indicator, but nail polish is.

Perkins,

I cannot believe it has been 3 months already! Congratulations on this milestone and I hope things go well.

So, I may get an x-mas fail this year. Our family is celebrating x-mas this coming weekend, so I need my presents by Friday. Last night I placed a big order with Think Geek. While doing so I discovered that it takes "one to three business days" for them to ship your order. So I paid for overnight shipping. But the "one to three business days" could mean it gets shipped on Friday or Monday, which would obviously be too late.

How long does Think Geek typically take to ship things out for folks here? I'm sorta' assuming that overnight shipping means they'll expedidte getting the stuff out... what do folks think?

You are an individual, not a social statement.

But I, an individual, can participate in a social statement. And if that social statement has an effect of taking back lipstick for the people who actually wear it, it's for the good by my reasoning.

tommy,

I have only ordered from them once or twice and they have been pretty speedy, but this time of year? I don't know.

good luck!

I show my power as a woman by looking a man in the eye and forcing him to address me as an equal. Sex bomb red lips don't seem to have the same impact.

Wait, so my wearing makeup means that I'm a weak tool of the man? Can't I wear lipstick and look a man in the eye and demand he treat me as an equal? Why is this an either/or proposition?
