I Feel like a Woman (fake, albeit)

For someone who loathes pretention, I must protray it quite severely. I have been asked in the last three months if several things on my body are fake.

1)No, my hair is my own. I do not have extensions. I would get extensions if my hair were short and I wanted longer hair, but this is my own, home-grown stuff. Thank you. I think.

2)My fingernails are my own. I used to be a chronic biter (blush). I always hated my hands and my nails. Bitten nails are extremely unfeminine, in my opinion. Once, while reading an article about Ol' Blue Eyes, I noted that Frank said the first thing he noticed about a woman was her hands. He liked a nice set of gams, but a pair of well-manicured nails and soft hands really did it for him. There was a time when I got acrylics and tips, but I decided to shoot for healthy nails and a fatter pocketbook. Plus, I just couldn't stand the feeling of those big fat thick things. I needed to be able to get my hands dirty and clean. Thanks to Nailtiques, I have a set of natural nails that are strong and apparently quite attractive, I think.

3)No, those aren't fake either. It is astonishing to me that anyone would think these are false. They have a very natural shape and aren't sitting right under my chin. Nor are they excessively large; I don't think. I am not sure if this is meant to be complimentary, so thank you?

It's a sad state of affairs when a naturally good looking gal can't get props. The assumption is that it's all fake.

Just run with it Rae! Live it up. Everytime I'm asked for my ID and they are shocked I just lap it up. ;-)

You know, I thinking about this last night, and I wonder if so many people have work done, that we can't even recognize real when we see it?
