I’ve changed my opinion on the type-A, feminazi organization-or-die book I bought last weekend. In addition to a few gems of organization Zen (“Get a morning routine. That way, you won’t be doing things willy-nilly”. Thanks!), it’s providing many useful Blog topics.
Such as: Why I’m glad I don’t wear makeup. Or why I’m glad I’m a man, in general.
There’s a chapter in the book about organizing your bathroom. There’s another chapter about organizing your purse. Most of the former and all of the latter deal with one subject–makeup.
Here’s my requirements for a good morning experience:
-
Brush teeth
-
Shower
-
Shave
-
Put contacts in
-
Dress
-
Leave
A woman, to all the above, must add some Picasso-like adornment of their face with foundation, mascara, lipstick, lipgloss, powder, eyeliner, lipliner, concealer, and God knows what else. Is this a one time deal? NO! The woman must somehow carry a miniture stockpile of all the above WITH HER throughout the day for the inevitable touch-up.
I couldn’t begin to carry this off. I can barely coordinate the shaving ritual of Water, lather, shave, water, aftershave. I feel weighed-down by too many keys on my keychain or too thick a wallet. I can’t COMPREHEND messing with that amount of stuff.
I figure a woman has a few advantages (I’d not be averse to having a clitoris…17 orgasms in a row must be a nice feeling), but forget it if I had to wear makeup.
