C@T The Girl Guru

my beauty regime includes taming my crazy eyebrows

Here in the non-airbrushed REAL World those of us girls who strive for glamor run up against a plethora of challenges. Especially considering we like to get out there and do things, like create art, dance, and bang a hot boy. You know…as opposed to just sitting home and looking nice.

I love glamour-but my experience of trying to maintain it has been tested time and time again. But because I refuse to buy in to “frumpitude” while I’m out having adventures I’ve learned to take a few things in stride and keep as many hairs in place as possible along with my sense of humor. Believe me, I’ve survived and continue to survive many beauty challenges…

The hazards have included the following:
* Gnats in my lipgloss while biking
* Aerating the lawn at a bbq with my stilettos
* Hair in my face at every windy opportunity (many
glamazons LOATHE this
* Earrings that pop out and tumble to the floor just by walking across the room (or office)
* Sweat making my super cleavage stick-on bra peel itself off my boobs while dancing
* Randomly splitting my real nail in half while wearing acrylics
* Playing with paint with acrylic nails (creating art and making a mess)
* Tearing my dress while dancing in high heels (I kick a lot)
* And the almost daily horror of crazy morning eyebrows that need taming cause I am such a bed dragon (i.e. I toss about a lot)

The awesome news is all these challenges have motivated me to shop, dress, beautify, and play smarter and better. It’s also rather amusing having these little experiences-as Carmen Electra can attest to when she fell on her ass at a Max Factor show.

And when you get right down to it, it’s all worth it, in dates, in opportunities, and the thrilling adventure of it all!
