Grah! Woman power Trill!

I don't mean to say there's anything particularly wrong with being nicely presented, btw. I can appreciate the art behind the perfectly presented person - though I tend to just think "wow, that must take a long time."
Yeah, I think there is a difference between making them look nice and presentable and going way OTT on the body maintenance. My girls have loads of those curly ribbon hairbands and clips and I think they look nice - they have school colour ones and ones in our footy club colours that they wear when they play netball and it does look nice, but that's as far as it goes - their hair is only ever pulled back into a ponytail or plait, not blowdried and straightened like some of the girls do. It's like they take it that one step further - it's not enough just to pull your air back in a ponytail, it has to be dead straight or styled a certain way. And the boys don't care - I keep their hair cut short enough that they don't even need to comb it LOL.
