I am so Glad that mostly nobody sees what I look like. I can write in my "Working-Class Hero" t-shirt. Billytea,bwah!
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
If she'd left it at that and not gone into what really is a pretty ridiculous sounding regimen and framing it as not just normal but required, the reactions would have been a lot different.
Yes. Plus, it sounds like she's been suckered into a overly-complex morning skin care routine.
My morning routine, if I'm working is:
- Stumble out of bed, wash face, apply sunblock, eye cream, and deodorant.
- Eat yogurt, brew tea, take vitamins.
- Drink tea while putting on makeup. (Primer, darkening eye brows, 3 colors of eye shadow, liquid liner, mascara, concealer under my eyes, translucent powder.)
- Brush teeth.
- Get dressed, which involves underthings, tights, blouse, petticoats, skirt(s, maybe), waistcoat or jacket, and boots.
- Pull hair into low pigtails, comb bangs into the correct pointy shape, put on top hat.
All of that takes me about 45 minutes. I take a bath at night, and I'm one of those weird people who washes their hair once a week.

Because books.
my local library has one of your books, but I've already read it.
Aw, yay! I'm amazed a library has one of the romances.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm one of those weird people who washes their hair once a week.
I've been trying that (as well as shaving once every five or seven days) but I've decided I didn't like the way my hair looked. Still not sure about the shaving.

Our wings are not tired.
I brush my teeth while the conditioner soaks in during my shower.
I do nothing to my hair other than comb through some goop and blowdry my bangs (which I'm growing out) out of my face.
Used to take 10 minutes to do eyebrows but since the tatt it's 0 seconds.
make-up is mineral foundation and blush.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
My morning routine mostly involves looking for my socks.
I also tend to wake up 10 minutes before leaving the house.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm one of those people who can be out the door in about 20 minutes if I need to, but I'd rather get up early and let myself wake up for an hour or so before I have to drive, or talk to people.

Of course, most days, no makeup. I do not use shampoo. I do not shower in the morning. I also have long hair that I may or may not bother to brush.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am with Perkins. I take at least an hour "getting ready", but I could be ready in about 10 minutes if I hurried. I like to make coffee, read the internets, feed the cat, etc, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
