I'm not vain.I just want to look good. Because when I look good, I feel good about myself. I don't think being intelligent is an excuse for looking like slob, and that looking good is the only thing a woman ought to be. That's probably what I meant with "girly girl" me. Like "man's man" there is such a thing as a lady's lady. And the fact is that's exactly what I am -a girl who cares to look her best without feeling guilty about it. I'm a logistic officer in one big shipping company. My job requires me, not only to think of my feet, but to look smart as well. I dont mind saying that I wake up two hours before I have to leave home for work, to groom. I know enough to realize that hair doesn't have body and bounce unless blow dried, eyes don't look soulful without eyeliner and that lips look either too pale or too dark without lipstick. On weekends, I experiment with do-it yourself hair relax, spending a whole morning massaging it. So what? Come Monday, my hair is terrific. My passion for scents is envitable. I do have lots of passion but it surpassed only by my love for scents. Right now, I'm crazy over Escada"ibiza hippie". It smells young and vibrant; its how I want clients think of me while I give briefing on manifestations and solutions. I know people involuntarily turn their heads and snagged by the scent. I want people to look when I enter a room. I want people to listen when I speak. Perfume helps me get their attention, so I put some on my neck, wrists and behind my knees. And when I leave the room, the scent lingers in the air. I have as many scents as I have moods. It goes without saying too that clothes help define me. I go for comfort and style. At work, I like suits that give me freedom of movement in cuts and colors that don't make me lose my femininity but establish my capabilities.On days that I'm giving a presentation I wear red, perhaps to grab attention, when feeling daring I wear lime blouse and pink when I'm feeling sweet.On more casual days, jeans just drive away the blues. I like them in all colors. They're very comfortable when I have to drive especially in city traffic, user friendly and definitely sexy. Topped with a bare some skin blouse. I think that exudes a feminine no nonsense look. Shoes I believe, do wonders for a woman's confidence. And every inch of heel, is a foot of confidenced when faced with tall, hig ranking men. Also I of course, bring along my kikay kit - a pouch of make up, a bottle of perfume, lotion and all those little things that help me present to the world the picture of the self I see in me. I'm not ashamed to say that I work on my looks, because really staying pretty requires some effort. Whoever says otherwise, I think is a liar. People may disagree but I believe that whoever said the words, "never judge a book by its cover" must look like the other old saying, "ugly as hell". Though its true that personality, character, talent and intelligencet important aspects of a woman, how it all comes together in a neat package is the key to which will make people want to find out what's underneath it all.
