I've never understood why women put up with the whole face paint and clothes thing. I guess they must enjoy it, but I can't imagine why. A nice smile is better than a professional makeover. I've never personally liked the look of makeup, and I don't really think it looks good, but OTOH it's their choice. I've got better things to do with my time than to worry about what other people look like, and what they look like to me.
I don't get it either, and this is coming from a woman! Most of fashion is so impractical--makeup, high heels (and even some shoes that aren't high heels), tight skirts--there are so many other choices, why do so many of us wear such things? I, for one, avoid them whenever possible in favor of a more natural look and clothes I can actually move in. Too bad so many women like to wear the less practical stuff--that makes it harder for the rest of us when we are shopping for business clothes etc.
