ok - listen - First this is a second career for me and- Two, Cosmetolgy was my first for many years.

I am so accustomed to the world of beauty as I know it with glamourous hair and well manicured nails and such and I feel like I am always this plain Jane all the time. I just wanna run out and get a nice french manicure, french pedicure and stick my foot in a sexy shoe, not some danskos -you know? I am sick of this dog gone pulled back look and or ponytail. I just feel so un-sexy all the time and it starting to affect my self esteem. Not that any of that makes you, but it has been a part of me for so looooong. You know how it is when you get done up and you get an instant bit of swagger in your walk. I'm having some trouble adjusting sometimes. I don't feel like this most days at all but when I do - boy do I feel it. When off the clock, I'm too tired to even care about sexy. It's so sad, because all I do is find some more unsexy clothes like sweats when off the clock- so I am constantly in a state of unsexy.

So what do you do to preserve your sexy??

Maybe we should link this thread with the "No Bra" thread from a couple of months ago....just to make it even funnier.

Just reading the posts on this and other threads it is easy to make up ones mind (with a lot of assumptions) about other posters. Without descriptions or photos just their words and thoughts some posters show a "sexiness" that mere physical attributes can never amount to. "Sexy" is a state of mind that is expressed by attitude, confidence and outlook.

I think tight tank tops at work is pretty unprofessional....at home, very different. And to those of you that think spending money on yourself (not always glossy nails and big hairdos, but what about the gym, a good diet and a little plastc surgery) think that we are trying to attain something that isn't real. I don't remeber hearing your DEAD at 45. 45 can be very very hot if you take care of yourself, and I do. Yes Ive had "some work" but if you hang out with the surgeron from plastics, who hasn't ? I love spending $500 on an outfit and getting my hair done regularly. Im not dead (except at work) IM FEMALE AND I LOVE IT

We should all wear sweat pants,weigh 200lb,dont wear make up,ponytails and take out our frustrations on others:)

See, it makes perfect sense to me that people would become attracted to each other in a dire situation - adrenaline is sexy, and if you find someone competent and in control, you're going to think about that later...I doubt they were standing there having hearts come out of their eyes (like in cartoons) while the patient lay untouched in V-fib. Come on!

I do weigh 200+lbs, I don't wear make up, I have my hair in a very long braid and I don't take my frustrations out on others and I don't wear sweat pants. Yoga pants, not sweat pants. I also have doctors treat my like I am not there or like dirt because I don't wear tight clothes, smile and laugh at all their stupid jokes. And yes outside of work I am a very "sexy" woman....how else could I have met and married a man 15 years younger than me?
