When I was a pre-teen and teen I was into punk and therefore had more of masculine look. For a while I even denied I was female and wanted very badly to be male!!
When I was about 18 I began to experiment with my hair and makeup, but it didn't last long. I hated it and had no time for such things!
I was just a "plain jane" between the years of 18 and 22. No makeup, long straight hair parted in the middle, jeans and band t-shirts.
It wasn't until late '98 when I discovered vintage that I began to reclaim my femininity!! In '99 I got into Kevyn Aucoin and he basically taught me how to put on makeup, along with just studying 1930s actresses. My hair got cut into a short bob and began to give me a "look."
Skirts and dresses are a staple in my wardrobe. If it wasn't so cold here I'd wear them all the time. Every single day I do my hair and makeup - even if I'm not going anywhere. My nails are always painted and groomed. I shower twice a day and do the obligatory primping after each!
Don't get me wrong, though! I'm not "high maintenance" in the slightest! I go out in jeans and plain tops all the time. It only takes me 45 minutes total to get ready in the morning. Nails can easily be done in 10 minutes wile watching TV.
I enjoy all the little feminine things I've been doing over the past 9 years. It feels good to take it back.
