Prissy
I primp.
I admit it.
I'm a girly girl
As soon as
I was old enough
I shaved my legs
Plucked my eyebrows
Stated wearing makeup
Took an overall interest
In my appearance
When I was
Of working age
I was told that
A woman should
Never leave
The house without
Looking absolutely
G o r g e o u s
Some things stick
With a person
For a lifetime
This of course
Was definitely one
Of them and
That was the onset
Of my becoming prissy

I love this! You should leave the house looking put together & descent. Woman from what I remember would look like models or actresses when seen at stores or out anywhere. Today, forget it. Everyone looks like a goddamn slob. Seeing woman today in the stores is frightening. I'd say in the last 10 years, no one cares on what they look like.
Great poem Faith. Pretty girl in the image!!

Your welcome. It's nice to hear that you groom & maintain an attractive look when you leave the house.

I call it primping before you leave the house.
Yes it's fun to look cute, but I go out not so cute too, lol
I was taught by society it's what's on the outside that counts,
but what about the inside?
Your piece was thought provoking.

It's nice to look good but it's what's on the inside that really matters. I'm happy you found my poem to be thought provoking. That's cool!

Guilty!
Of all of it. I even have one of those IPSY subscriptions!!
It's a joy to be feminine.
The only time I slacked was when I had my two boys.
I was more concerned about sleeping! LOL
I bounced back once they started school.

When I see a lovely person, it makes me excited to learn more about what’s on the inside.
