So many women aren't. Why don't they realize how attractive it is to be so at ease?<BR/><BR/>I say, "Do it!" Even when your daughter says, "You're not wearing that, are you?" Go for it.

However, there is a fine line between pleasantly crusting and annoyingly abrasive. I have been known to cross it.aphronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203237871375124185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-73710670346780617502008-06-22T16:32:00.000-05:002008-06-22T16:32:00.000-05:00This makes me wish I could be in a grocery store a...This makes me wish I could be in a grocery store at the same time and end up shopping on the same aisles several times just to see the interaction with other people.
