My family, however, still lives there, and I just returned from a week with my twin sister, who I must say, dresses NICE-LY every day -- even to work the hospitality hallway at her son's basketball tournament. It was just a few tables in a hallway, but she had on heals and her hair was PERFECT. I had forgotten this need to always look spiffy, and I felt out of place in my sweats and tennis shoes! My brother called me a liberal because I expressed some concern about his need to kill and eat deer! I will always be a TEXAS LONGHORN, but I'm glad to be living on planet Los Angeles now! <BR/><BR/>Your writing is excellent.

And it's less hassle and planning! :) And there's something about the dry atmosphere with an oily complexion that works well together.<BR/><BR/>But I will forever be a Michigander! We've got TWO peninsulas! Even though some of us view the upper peninsula as a completely different country. They've got quite the accent! I do love those Great Lakes though.swtpmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971213452250874221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-21392332455261726802008-01-04T15:53:00.000-05:002008-01-04T15:53:00.000-05:00Yeah, I saw that show.

Oh, and that redhead mother hen with her botoxed face? I can't decide if I like her or think she's evil. This show and Real Housewives of Orange County are my anti-feminist guilty pleasures. And I went to Smith (where freshmen were first years because freshMEN was offensive).Paige Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291247610038922542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-30044256995935741252008-01-04T14:16:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:16:00.000-05:00I just don't trust cheerleaders from Texas.

There was a competition involved and when we arrived at the event a bunch of cheerleaders from Spring Branch Texas were huddled around Mack Davis accepting their award before the competition even began. Ok now that I have that off my chest, Was there something presidential on last night?Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-56108226826354677282008-01-04T14:01:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:01:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-7034439969466175452008-01-04T13:51:00.000-05:002008-01-04T13:51:00.000-05:00You may be on to something with the different "pla...You may be on to something with the different "planets," Trish.

We all have a piece of the pie. There is no one state that has the whole pie (although each one thinks they do).<BR/><BR/>My recent move from Boston to Planet Texas exposed me to regional biases that were both archaic and understandable. I was terrified I would be the lone brunette with a brain amongst all of the bleach-blond Barbie pageant moms - those moms who never got to try out for Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. I prayed hard about it - as you know. And I ended up in an almost entirely brunette non-pageant-mom neighborhood!<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying being a transplant on Planet Texas. I can see why Texans are so dang proud of everything they perceive of as "Texan". This state freaking ROCKS. But, having lived in CA, NC, CT, MA & NY (and having visited many more), I would say that every single state in this country rocks. Each one holds vital pieces of our country's history. I love reading Wikipedia - just hopping from state to state going, "Wow, I never knew that about Illinois!"<BR/><BR/>Southern girls - as a whole - generate more money for the beauty industry's lighter shades of hair color. But if I recall all my pals up north, y'all generate just as much in the reds & brunettes. And I know quite a few Yanks that bleach, too. I do marvel at how many women down here look like they just stepped out of a professional makeup session. And if you like that, great. But I still walk around bare-faced most of the time. Although, I did purchase my first bunch of makeup in DECADES after being down here for 2 years. And I've discovered that dressing nicely makes me feel a hell of a lot better than those giant tents of t-shirts I sported up in Boston. And...you can laugh your butt off at this one...I just recently became a beauty consultant for BeautiControl. I probably won't hawk my wares. But I will be taking their all-day class in Feb.<BR/><BR/>So give me a few months. You might just be surprised at the next time I step off that plane at Logan.LEstes65https://www.blogger.com/profile/15963146455105319876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-61103012390438611472008-01-04T11:40:00.000-05:002008-01-04T11:40:00.000-05:00Hello from Planet Salt Lake - quite different than...Hello from Planet Salt Lake - quite different than east coast planets, and completely seperate from the Lone Star Planet... As much as we all like to think that we should be judged based solely on our intellect and brains -we all know that hair and mascara play into that as well. That being said; I have no problem with successful women, regardless of their trade... I just sometimes sigh when it comes with pom-poms and booty-fringe.<BR/><BR/>xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
