Will I shave twice in the same day? I will. (Can meh please get some of those mail-order razor blades? One of those stupid subscription companies has to be failing by now…)
@jouest I’ve seen Harry’s at Target. But my S.O. gets them from Dollar Shave Club. The best that I can recall seeing here (at least, I think it was here) was the Gillette five-blade ones for a price that worked out to be only slightly better per head than the monster-size pack at Sam’s.
Nada, zero zip
I have had no work
I wear no make up - ever well, since I was in high school 50+ years ago
I do not mess with my hair
I wear what I like not what fashion dictates
If I’m just hanging at home, nothing. If I go anywhere, I’m compulsive about putting on some eye makeup; not a lot, but enough to make me think I don’t look totally dowdy.
I hate having long nails, so I clip and file them frequently (but no nail polish.)
@Kyeh I made a pair of those for my daughter 30 years ago. Galveston Mardi Gras parade, Krewe of Oz float. The outfit and her ability to lipsynch a tape allowed her to win the “Best Presentation” award in the masquerade at the '95 Worldcon in Glasgow, in the adult division, at the age of 6. (The schtick ended with her clicking her heels together and saying “There’s no place like home” twice, looking frustrated, taking off a shoe, looking inside, saying “Made in China! No wonder these don’t work. Come on, Toto, let’s go find somebody else to drop a house on.”)
I’m very matchy matchy, so if I go out, everything needs to match to some extent – tops, bottoms, accessories, shoes. For example, I found a pair of Skechers I liked, so I bought them in several colors to ensure a better match to my clothes. I’m such a weirdo.
So kinda like @kyeh if I’m just at home nothing. Even for work (wfh), my hair goes in a bun and I wear glasses. I rarely dress up, because my co workers have seen me looking my worst during covid, so who cares any more.
If I am leaving the house, hair perfectly coifed, make up fully done, and well dressed. I generally don’t wear t-shirts out of the house.
I love all the girly type things, so I have a professional steamer (the face kind not the floor kind) for weekly skin treatments, I wax myself vs paying someone, etc.
I figure if someone is going to judge me based on how I dress or do my hair or whatever that is their problem, not mine. There are, of course, minimum work standards for clothes that have varied depending on where I worked and so I honored those (and knew how to, and did, dress to dress codes perfectly). Out side of that I wear what I want when I want… if it doesn’t match or has holes too bad so sad. Get over it.
@Kidsandliz
Best thing is to figure what part of the dress code is an actual trigger.
Back in the day when it was all tats had to be covered, I used to tease someone who had 4 that couldn’t be covered. - She had tat’d eyeliner. We teased her heavily about violating the dress code
@jouest@OnionSoup OK not what I intended giphy AI… but… this is what I am really doing during the zoom meeting. I just have the fake background activated so you can’t tell.
@OnionSoup
I feel you. My hair is thin enough that I can generally pat it in place with a bit of water on my hands and I’m good to go. My beard is slow growing enough that I can usually go about 10 days, but likewise, 3 minutes will generally do the trick! I also trim around the edges of my beard and the front of my chin somewhere in the middle of that time as well … in order to cut down on irritation for SWMBO.
People think I’m kind for donating my hair repeatedly. Truth is I simply can’t be bothered to get it cut until it’s annoying me. Don’t own a dress or make up. Tried the nail thing, it’s not for me.
Is needing to be clean a vanity?
@callow
That is cool that you actually donate it when you do cut it.
That’s an awesome program, and one that my son used to take part in on a regular basis when he was younger. Now that his hair is thinning more he hasn’t done it in a few years.
@chienfou I have donated over a foot on six occasions in 10 years. Mostly to an organization called Children With Hair Loss. The last time I had my hair cut it wasn’t enough to donate.
@callow
That’s great. No way in hell my hair would be able to grow out that long anymore I would look like one of KoolHandJoe’s scary dolls.! I have had to resort to giving blood on a regular basis instead!
@callow I’m the same way. I can’t style my hair to save my life, so I just keep growing it to donate. I just got 12 inches cut off that I need to send in. I wanted her to cut more like 16-18 inches, but she misunderstood. It’s still a decent amount.
Since I’m currently retired I don’t have a reason to even wear scrubs that much anymore. Living in the South I spend most of my time in swim trunks or shorts if I’m working outside,. A T-shirt and clogs complete the outfit. If I’m going somewhere like the store I will generally try and dress it up a notch (clean, intact, presentable jeans etc.). Most of my t-shirts either have a blood donor message or are from some vacation destination. While I do own some dress shirts, the vast majority of my button downs are tropical prints. I’m a beach bum/Jimmy Buffett fan at heart. However I am old school enough that when I fly I still get dressed in at least business casual. I find that most of the airline team respond well to that, and it makes me feel like I’m doing something ‘special’. I also still get “dressed up” to go to the theater if we go to a play etc. and while I own some suits (and even a tux) I rarely have occasion to wear them unless I’m going to a funeral or wedding.
Of course there are things…fussing about, positive. Fretting about, negative. I cannot even go through a drive-thru or drive anywhere without putting a bra on. I can go without make up for a quick trip to cvs or something but need sunglasses….yah the reflective kind. Thats about it. My mom was a ‘Zsa Zsa’ so some things she taught me just stuck. Other things are
I have the glasses where you can put different fonts on, and even if I’m just running out to Starbucks or to pick up a food order, I pick one that goes with my outfit or my mood. I only have 35 or so, but there are people who have hundreds; IDK how they’re able to wear them all.
I have ADHD. I can’t pay attention to anything for that long.
It shows.
@werehatrack I’m picturing seven perfectly manicured fingernails
@jouest Actually, they all are, but only because I don’t do them myself. See farther down.
Will I shave twice in the same day? I will. (Can meh please get some of those mail-order razor blades? One of those stupid subscription companies has to be failing by now…)

@werehatrack Yeah I do snag the occasional box of lightly-discounted Harry’s from regular stores.
I regularly wear catshirts bought from daily deals websites – what fashion sense?!?
@narfcake 0 is a number
@narfcake In my crowd? Formal!
Nada, zero zip
I have had no work
I wear no make up - ever well, since I was in high school 50+ years ago
I do not mess with my hair
I wear what I like not what fashion dictates
@Cerridwyn I’m starting to think that this was the wrong question for this particular group of humans…
@jouest well we do have some folk with tats, hehe
Does my helmet match my motorcycle?
@blaineg is this a carpet/drapes kind of question?
@blaineg @jouest It wasn’t before…
@blaineg @jouest I wondered the same thing…
[I Bet You Think This Thread Is About You.]
(It was right there, I had to say it.)
@werehatrack must admit the only reason I opened this thread was to make the same comment.
@werehatrack
…You probably think this [thread] is about you, don’t you, don’t you… FIFY.
@werehatrack ironically it seems that this thread is about nobody here, haha
@jouest @werehatrack
You expected something different? This is meh after all.
Nothing.
If I’m just hanging at home, nothing. If I go anywhere, I’m compulsive about putting on some eye makeup; not a lot, but enough to make me think I don’t look totally dowdy.
I hate having long nails, so I clip and file them frequently (but no nail polish.)
I just have to doze while someone else does them, so I don’t think these count…
@werehatrack
Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers!

@werehatrack
That’s pretty clever.
@werehatrack THESE COUNT
@Kyeh @werehatrack I love it!!!
I’m very matchy matchy, so if I go out, everything needs to match to some extent – tops, bottoms, accessories, shoes. For example, I found a pair of Skechers I liked, so I bought them in several colors to ensure a better match to my clothes. I’m such a weirdo.
@heartny Not weird.
@heartny @Kyeh
A local podiatrist has a sign in her office that says:
“If the shoe fits… buy it in every color”!
@heartny If they’re Skechers, do you have them in purple?
I also have these in red.
@chienfou @heartny @Kyeh My experience has been that if the shoe fits, they won’t have any of them when you go back to get another pair.
@chienfou @heartny @Kyeh smart doctor!!!
@chienfou @heartny @werehatrack
This is why I end up buying multiples of many things
.
@heartny @Kyeh @werehatrack
I think the point was to get them at the same time in the first place.
So kinda like @kyeh if I’m just at home nothing. Even for work (wfh), my hair goes in a bun and I wear glasses. I rarely dress up, because my co workers have seen me looking my worst during covid, so who cares any more.
If I am leaving the house, hair perfectly coifed, make up fully done, and well dressed. I generally don’t wear t-shirts out of the house.

@tinamarie1974
And don’t forget those awesome boots!
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
I figure if someone is going to judge me based on how I dress or do my hair or whatever that is their problem, not mine. There are, of course, minimum work standards for clothes that have varied depending on where I worked and so I honored those (and knew how to, and did, dress to dress codes perfectly). Out side of that I wear what I want when I want… if it doesn’t match or has holes too bad so sad. Get over it.
@Kidsandliz at Meh wearing some sort of bottoms is strictly required. (Except on video calls, obv)
@Kidsandliz
Best thing is to figure what part of the dress code is an actual trigger.
Back in the day when it was all tats had to be covered, I used to tease someone who had 4 that couldn’t be covered. - She had tat’d eyeliner. We teased her heavily about violating the dress code
@jouest @Kidsandliz bottoms are required on phone calls but not video calls? Are bottoms at least allowed?
@jouest @OnionSoup I think this humor has bottomed out.
@jouest @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup I can’t top any of that.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup you’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel
@jouest @OnionSoup . I have the mute button on because I am having an important conversation with my cat.
/giphy can you hear me now?
@jouest @OnionSoup OK not what I intended giphy AI… but… this is what I am really doing during the zoom meeting. I just have the fake background activated so you can’t tell.
@jouest @OnionSoup
@Kidsandliz, you don’t just put on the cat filter?
@jouest @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @OnionSoup
@jouest @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup
!
@narfcake - Yes, we know that’s you
I’ll spend minimal time brushing hair. About once a week I’ll trim my beard with clippers (back down to 3mm in about 3 mins)
That’s about it. Very little vanity with me.
@OnionSoup

@callow @chienfou That’s who I’m donating to; they were the only ones I found who take bleached hair. FYI, they’ll take as little as 8 inches.
@lisagd Your hair is beautiful, before and after.
Apparently my hair annoys me sooner these days, not much was cut off.

@lisagd
Sounds kinda fun
@lisagd this is kind of awesome.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@lisagd my sister has those and she is trying to get me to get them as well. They are kind of fun
@lisagd I love this!
@callow @lisagd Are they detachable fronts that fit on a single base? With magnets or something?
Yawning prettily.
@f00l worth the effort
