Lingerie Buying Academy for men

[Bar Wench]

No I am just selective on where I use them and a thread that has turned into how much better turned out American women are then British isn't the place!  

[Bar Wench]

It takes the vast majority of them one hour plus just on hair and makeup to go out in the morning. Plus at least two hours of professional grooming a week.

Good grief! what must they look like when they first get out of bed?

There you go! At least with us lot you have a rough idea of what you are getting!

Oh for goodness sake - time for a reality check.

Go to America - walk down the street and try to find one of these 'ideal' women of which they speak. 

When you do come across them - they are so self absorbed, selfish and small minded that whatever beauty they may have on the outside quickly diminishes.

I am not saying British women are more beautiful but perhaps we are more honest.

But then we can't win - if we take too long getting ready then we are just true to type. Spend lots of money on cosmetics and body products etc we are just being wasteful and taken in by evil advertisers, cosmetic surgery is a scam etc etc etc.

I make the effort for myself (obviously I am implying I have a choice  ).
However I love feeling that I have pampered myself and if it is appreciated by others then even better 

I wouldn't go to work dressed inappropriately or with my hair looking like a haystack, but likewise I wouldn't get up at 5 o clock to ensure I looked immaculate.

Lets have a bit of perspective in this.

My hair looks like a hairstack. 

I do have mascara on though!

But it is awfully windy today Wenchy - I am sure it was all in place when you left the house this morning 

Is it waterproof mascara?

It's the office Christmas party tonight. The women in the office have all brought a change of clothes and will spend 30-45 mins later on getting ready. The men will go as they are.

We have one of ours tonight. Worse still it is fancy dress - the theme being The Wild West.

The men have bought in a cowboy hat and are wearing Jeans. The women have hired costumes from a shop 

We have another one next Wednesday. This has no theme so all week the girls have been 'consulting' on what to wear. The men  have been consulting on what beer is served in which pubs.

I forgot who told me this, but someone on a transatlantic flight saw a wizened grey haired old lady disappear into the aeroplane toilet about 2 hours from Heathrow.

When she came out about 90 minutes later she was Joan Collins

Perfectly normal behaviour

I am just soooooooooooo glad I have retired and what work I do I do at home, in my own time and set my own fees.
Wild horses would not drag me back into an office environment.

Mind you, when I was so employed, I never attended any Christmas function.

[Nick]

Ours were pretty much compulsory and always involved terrifying amounts of alcohol.

I am glad I no longer have to endure them too.

Oh they tried the compulsory bit ~ management duty and all that shite .... I always had the same answer ... I'll be with a potential client. Talking to my colleagues does not earn me nor the company money, talking to clients does.

Guide dogs only was it?

My hair looks like a hairstack.

NO! I refuse to drink out of an ashtray ~ if they can't provide a decent bowl forget it. I hate being an afterthought.
