Nothing is as expensive as a woman who's free for the evening.

I went to Target yesterday, and it was a stock-up visit: hair products, makeup, underwear, medicine cabinet stuff. When I checked out, it was more than $100. That's crazy! And after thinking about it, it kind of pissed me off, because a lot of the stuff is only necessary because I'm a girl!
  • Eyeshadow: $5
  • Tampons: $5
  • Bra: $15
  • Leave-in conditioner: $3
  • Foot file: $3
  • Nail polish: $6
  • Two kinds of face wash, morning and night: $9
  • Concealer: $8
  • Eye cream: $10

Granted, a lot of this stuff I buy because I'm vain, not a girl, but isn't it kind of the same thing sometimes? I really think guys get off easy in the grooming department. And this was just at Target. It doesn't include waxing, dye jobs, pedicures, 20 pairs of shoes ... So is it really so much to ask that the guy pay for dinner? How about this ... I'll pay if I can stop waxing. Think about it.

It is for that reason that I moved to Vermont and became a psuedo-hippie that doesn't wear makeup or underwear. And although there is, surprisingly, a salon in town, I'd never let these women near me with hot wax.
And as if that wasn't enough, there isn't a Target within 100 miles of me.
Wish you were here!
