Feel like a woman!

Feel like a woman,
Wear a dress!

Okay, the point of that quote on my Skype was that Shelah mentioned it after I wootwooed Crystal for showing up to work in a dress, which she had said she would start doing, after seeing me show up in dresses and skirts these past couple weeks. (It's summer! One should be wearing dresses and skirts!) Shelah said some lady who created the wrap around dress was the one who used to say that (well, she gave some variation of it and I googled it to get the info). It sounds great! If one is in a feeling-like-a-woman mood, haha. Granted, skirts and dresses aren't very practical if one cares for children and/or does more physical work throughout the day (or decides to jump on a pony mid-day), but for sitting at a desk and/or skipping around carefree through the city, they sure do the trick for feeling summer-y enough. :D

Anyway, mostly guys commented on my Skype quote. Only guys, actually. So I just want to point out that the quote was intended for women, NOT you guys, aherm. Please don't try to feel womanly -- stay right in your manly pants, doing your manly things, like...: making girls feel womanly, telling girls how womanly they are, encouraging girls to be womanly, putting up with girls who are womanly (ehe), and all that womanly-jazz.

Selah.

So, due to the unexpected reactions that quote engendered, I figured I'd pause for a moment to celebrate feeling like a woman...

We'll start off with a possibly-appropriate song (Dan, I know you don't read my blog anymore, but if you happen to stumble upon this post, please know that for some reason I can so picture your "chiseled" self as one of her back-up... um, back-up guy-things... ahahaha! but please know that you have WAY MORE personality than all of them put together, for which we are very thankful):



And here's one to make us all feel like extremely natural women, ehe:



To continue on with femininity, someone told me that if I saw this type of article around, I should post it, for general use-full-ness, so here're some links along the "flatter yourself" lines. I'm the least-aware-of-fashion-and-what-looks-good female ever -- off on some other plane, generally -- but I guess useful info is always... uh... useful?
