My girlie gene is weak!

I am not a very good girl, I'm afraid. :tongue2: I thought I'd make this thread for people like me to ask the rest of you stupid questions that females are already supposed to know the answer to but we don't.

So my first question is:

What does it means when someone says their skirt is "cut on the bias"? I read that all the time in chick lit books and it drives me crazy because I can't figure out why someone would know or care about that and why the author thinks it's important to say.

I'd classify myself as a TomBoy Princess. I grew up in a "country" and I mean small town country town. Our neighborhood had about 10 boys, me and one other girl. We both had to be tomboys for self preservation. I loved to climb trees, swim, shoot (bb guns & bows & arrows) and could ride my bike with the rest of them. However, I did it often in a dress.

My father loved me in dresses and to be honest I like to hear how "pretty" I looked. I was a vain little girl, what can I say? So I'd put on a dress, go play in the field and come back home filthy. He would get SO mad! LOL...it was his fault though.

Today - I wear dresses and suits because I have to for work. At my heaviest I wore only pant suits, but now that my legs are getting better (at least from the knee down) I'm wearing more skirts.

When I get home, actually in the car on the way home, the shoes are the first to go. I hate wearing shoes! I'm a barefoot gal! If I'm not going anywhere it's PJ bottoms and tank tops...ah, comfort.

I do wear some makeup, but not much. I indulge in the occassional pedicure too - I have to something for me every now and then. That massage chair and having someone rub my feet feels like heaven! I've become a purse addict too. I love TJMAX (The evil little store it is)

So I guess I'm still a tomboy princess...just grown up.

omg tjmaxx <3333333333333333 tjmaxx and kohls are my favorite for purses. omg purses <3

Im so with you!!! i drive without any shoes on, i even took my driving test with no shoes!!! lol the instructer did look at me funny, but she soon got over it, when i demonstrated my ace driving skills! lol lol

hey gg207 - it's so sad. My trunk fills in for my closet at home. Just this morning I was rummaging through to find a pair of shoes that matched my skirt and top today - lol. I go through about once a month and take them in. I don't know why I bother - they'll end up there within days...

lol - your driving test! hehehehe...that's funny.

omg here if i would take the drivers test with no shoes on they would have failed me lol it's soooooo against the law to drive barefoot

I don't get that! If lawmakers ever drove in heels, they'd allow barefoot drivers! :)

I physically cannot drive in bare feet, I know a lot of people can but I have to have a shoe between my foot and the peddle am I weird, okay judge me go ahead judge me see if I care!

lol the peddle hurts my footsie shoooooooooooooooes lol

After being in heels all day I have to take off my shoes. My feet hurt! I drive barefoot all the time. On top of that it is hard to drive in heels...they also put holes in the carpet of your floor! Coodos to barefeet!

Oooh! I'm judging! SO judging!

:)

I don't wear heels (I'm 6 ft tall, I'm already towering over everyone, do I really need to be more intimidating)

I don't carry a purse (I carry a wallet, no not like a wallet on a chain (not that there's anything wrong with that))

I don't like sappy love movies, you know traditional girlie flicks, the only kind of movies I like with women who kick a&&.

I don't paint my nails, I do usually do my toes.

I didn't have a mani or pedi until January of this year. I would do the pedi again, but saw the mani as a waste of money.

I don't wear dresses. I only own a few for funerals and weddings.

I like to fish, I don't mind baiting my own hook or cleaning the fish when I'm done.

I do get my haircut pretty religiously, I do splurge on that.

I don't wear pantyhose. If it requires pantyhose, it just wasn't meant to be...I'm pretty sure that they could use pantyhose to get terrorists to spill their secrets...It might be the new waterboarding

I've never had the thought "Oh cool, a tiara"
