I have only worn make-up once since I retired a year ago! I used to rush home to take it off.... right after the pantyhose! LOL

And that was only for a special occasion. Once I got over the skin reaction from wearing that crap I decided it wasn't worth it and threw all my makeup away. I haven't worn pantyhose for longer than that. Heck, I seldom even shave my legs!

I was lucky to work for myself in a business where dressing up meant wearing clean jeans and a tee-shirt with a picture on it. My everyday work outfit was shit stained jeans and a tee-shirt with a pocket. When you're cleaning stalls and grooming horses, dressing up is just not on the list of things to do.

I once showed up in court in my show jeans, western shirt with bolo tie, boots and western hat. The jury instructions called for business attire - the outfit I wore when I showed horses was the best business attire I owned. Now that I am retired, I don't even have that so I'm not sure what I'll wear when I have to report for jury duty next week. Most days now I don't even put on a bra or shoes, so whatever I wear will be really uncomfortable.

Hard to find, Revlon ruins everything.
Spent so many years slathering retin-a on my face that I don't need foundation.
And I think Eddie Izzard is kinda sexy when made up, too.
A big and varied world out there.
Oh, and I read that going without a bra is actually good for you, unless there is a size issue. So there.
