Mascara at the very least

This seems to be pretty common, and it boggles me how you all can stand the stuff. I loathe being able to feel my lashes every time I blink. (Moreso, I mean -- I'm already pretty insanely sensitive about that sort of thing. Lashes out of place drive me crazy.)

My routine makeup wear is linked to my tag.

Moisturizer doesn't count as makeup does it? That I can't leave the bathroom after showering without. And I can't sleep unless I've put on on lip balm.

The idea of wearing my insides on my outside all the time gives me the screaming heebie jeebies like you would not believe. I was so much happier once I learned how to dress to blend.

This is me. I have a pair of insanely cute red mary janes with cats on them that I don't wear, because when I wear them, I have to talk about them every five minutes, and I lack the sense of humor or whatever for that.

Which is why I could never be Jilli.

My home decorating scheme is: Shit Other People Gave Me.

Mine, too. Supplemented with Early Ikea and These People Have A Lot of Books, Don't They?

I love the idea of make-up, but it's hrd for me to justify spending money at Sephora when I haven't used up the loot from my last Sephora jaunt.

I dry clean everyweek cause of work. Otherwise, probably not so much.

But I think of style as an expression of an inner life, not just an artificial gilding or seeking the approval of anybody.

This is interesting. Because, I must say, what shoes I wear on any given day can absolutely set my mood for that day. Running shoes, it's a practical day. Cutie-pie shoes, a whimsy day. Sensible, nondescript shoes, a nondescript day. Stylish low heels, I am probably trying to feel impressive (to myself or someone else). (I gave up on stylish high heels when my left foot became cranky.)

Far more than any other article of clothing, my shoes reflect/determine my mood.

For other markers of style/femininity, I pick and choose. Plucked eyebrows yes; shaved legs only irregularly. Shaped nails yes (although never manicures); makeup almost never. Coordinated jewelry usually; hair-primping after that one barrette has gone in -- no.

you're on the list of people I'm trying to figure out how to get to move here

Stop that.

But you're on the list, too!

I, obviously, wear makeup every day. And touch up my powder & lipstick every afternoon. Of course, once you decide to shave the outer halves of your eyebrows off, you kinda have to wear makeup every day.

Moisturizer doesn't count as makeup does it?

Tinted might. I extend mine with Photo Finish, which pretty much does.

I wear make-up if I'm going out or performing (which includes classes and auditions). Otherwise, eh, sometimes I get into a mascara mood for a week or two.

My apartment is mostly decorated along the lines of "how can I make a 10 1/2 x 13 1/2 space a liveable home without going mad."

Jilli! I just got here!

So? C'mon, Pete needs you to live near-by so he can sketch you if he needs art reference for fierce women.

Buffista Island. Needs to be a reality.
