Vanity at a cost

We all want to look good.  It is just natural.  Some of us look better than others (not including myself in the former for sure) but in general we all want to look our best.  Interestingly enough what is somebody’s best?  It is different for everyone right.  We all have different tastes and the flair for style is as wide as the nerdy engineer down the hall to the good looking marketing person in the next cube.  Why is it that the good looking people are always in sales or marketing and us average slumps are in the engineering and finance areas?  Is there some written rule that I was not aware of.

Along with looking good there is the gambit of devices to help us achieve the best that we can.  Make-up, earrings, tattoos, hairspray, curlers, blow dryers etc. etc.  At the top of the echelon is perfume.  It creates the atmosphere and sets the tone of what we want to project.  What happens when your perfume turns lethal?  At a Texas call center an innocent woman sprayed a waft of perfume and the people around her started dropping like flies.  The place had to be evacuated, several were sent to the hospital and well over a 100 complained of illness.  What in the hell are you talking about.  Is this for real or possibly the stupidest thing you have ever heard of?

We have all dealt with the office person (some male some female) who walks down the hall and you can smell them about 500 feet in advance.  The guy or girl who sprays the entire bottle on every day before they venture out of the house.  We all know them but do they make us nauseous?  They might make me a little queasy at times but I don’t think I would call 911.  Has everyone in Texas lost their mind?  It is almost as crazy as………….wait for it……………..those Catholic people.  hahaha, haven’t said that in a few blogs have I?  You know those Catholic people who dress up every Sunday and go to church or Mass.  What is it called when you dunk people in the tub of water, smashing their head below the surface?  When I was a kid I always thought it was cool to see the swimming pool right there in church until I saw the Pastor trying to drown somebody.

It is all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.  Yes, I know that is not the Catholic religion but you are missing the point.  When I say the word Catholic it is simply using the sect to represent all religions so I can make fun of them as a group.  Not that I am Atheist.  Those people creep me out.  You have to believe in something.  Who in the hell makes that toxic perfume in Texas if we don’t have a God and a Devil.  Somebody has to make the stuff smell sweet and then somebody has to pour it on so thick that you suffocate from it.  You get both sides.

Fort Worth, Texas.  If I remember Texas that well everyone wears the caked on make-up and the bottle of perfume and what about that hair.  Is there something in the water that makes every woman’s hair in Texas stand about 3 feet above her head?  Working in a call center in Texas must be like working in a whore house without sex.  You get the entire plastic facade without the pleasure.  OMG, that sounds again like Catholics.  hahahaha, does anyone get this stuff.

OK, what do you get when you combine a Texan and a Catholic?  I don’t know the answer.  I am asking the question.
