I'm So Superficial

I'm indulging in all things superficial. Stuff like bad movies, what celebrities are doing and wearing, what's in fashion and what's out. There are too many serious things to worry about nowadays. I've got to take cover in more superficial things, like where am I going to get my next manicure/pedicure. Maybe I'll even change my hair color or just buy more clothes that are finally on sale.

There are so many superficial things to do. At least I'm not just distracted. I'm focused in a way. The way of the superficial. Hmmm...I don't feel as stupid as I thought I would. Guess I'm in it for the duration (the elections that is). No doubt life will get really serious again next winter. Until then shop and spend money is my motto. (I'd rather eat, drink and be merry, but its heavy on the caloric intake---we're dieting, you know!)

Done Short

My friends from my UCLA days are now 50+ years old. When we were young and sexy, we talked about feminism, being gay and who was the best in bed. Now a few of us are on Facebook together, and we all talk about facials, pedicures and yes, even getting a regular manicure.

We would have been horrified to say we got our nails done when we were young. Because for us nail length has so many connotations and consequences. I assume most of us still keep our nails short, even if its only as an insignia for being a lesbian.

I'm trying to get a manicure once every two weeks. It's a wonderful experience, especially the hand massage part. My nails are done short with clear polish. Kathleen's are done short too but buffed. We often get our nails done together. It's quite a turn-on.
