I can't say the same for my graduate TAs at Brandeis. Or many of the moms who live in Boston. Shall we schedule that wine discussion about the right reasons for wearing makeup? You bring the viognier, I'll bring the eye shadow!<br /><br />And the topic of P-ville being a small town... I think when we both moved there, it was. There were still goats and chickens along the main streets. I biked through an old rice paddy to get to your house. But by the time we left home, I'd argue it was on its way to being an extension of Houston. Which is a very metropolitan and international city, especially compared to where my parents live now (which, incidentally, is much larger than P-ville was). So I'm not sure how I would classify P-ville...Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320628104948300901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808781059813824798.post-71064547456133324382012-03-14T08:07:18.347-07:002012-03-14T08:07:18.347-07:00There are many things to which I can relate in thi...There are many things to which I can relate in this post.

I think maybe college is like that for a lot of people. Then we come full circle and start wearing lipstick again sometime in our thirties? But now we're doing it for the right reasons hopefully (because we're getting grey hairs and wrinkles and we can't run out looking great without a little help). I think this is a topic best discussed after a few glasses of wine. ;-)<br />Also, you should probably clarify that you grew up in a small town in Texas. Although, I've observed a ton of that behaviour among a certain set here in the big city.<br />ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
