...scared to face a woman nose to nose...

Noses are weird.

Huh, you're thinking. And also, WTF? Well, they are. I mean, the entire morphology of bodies is weird if you think about it too hard. Which for some reason I have been. But noses? Noses are just weird. I know, a creature's body doesn't have to make any actual sense, it doesn't have to be perfect, just has to keep the creature alive

OK, but I expect a nod in the speech when you win awards based on that line. :)

They make sense as to why they exist, maybe, but why do they look so odd? Well, odd to me. And I'm having an attack of the alien in my own skin, so, um, yeah, take that as you wish.

Yeah. I almost never buy fashion mags, because they make me hate myself even as I know what they're doing. The only times I really look at them at all is in offices and I've forgotten something to read, or in line at interminable checkouts. But hormally weak, I thought, huh, I wonder if there are good arm exercises in this one...

No. Not in a fashion mag. Oodles and oodles of adds to entice you to spend money you don't have, and articles designed to make you feel old and ugly and poor. Unless you are rich, in which case you feel just old and ugly, and then go spend money on things that make people in less priveleged states cry out "That's why we hate rich people!"

Anyway. Ranting. And it will be a good 15 years before I succumb again to the lures of the blond and pretty faces of 22 year olds trying to tell me how to look younger and prettier and also have cute shoes. (Of course, 15 years ago I was 21, and only wanted to be pretty and have cute shoes. Ah, the wisdom...or something.)

Beauty magazines are designed to make you feel ugly. What I find interesting are the mags that announce to the world how ugly all these flabby stars are while at the same time announcing how ugly all these other skinny stars are. You really can't win with these rags.

Show me happiness and confidence and I'll see beauty.

Cute shoes now are another matter. :)
