TOO FUNNY!

PS Get over yourself. You're beautiful!!! You know I was always jealous of your china doll face. And that is NO LIE.

Thank you :) Ann you should NEVER be jealous of me - you are perfect the way God made you!

I think that's my point God made us all different, unique and beautiful as we are without being something we think is appealing or being convinced all we need is the right face, hair color, boob job etc......

My messed up realities have nothing to do with real beauty, my reality has been affected by the perceptions we have been force fed by our society that determines what is culturally beautiful by man's standards not God's.

I got asked out today by a random guy while I was at a gas station!!! He just came up to me and said, "you're beautiful. I would love to take you out to dinner!" LOL I was flattered. Even after I said, "you're so sweet...do you need glasses? well I'm married..." He still persisted, "Please take my number...you're so beautiful." well that just made MY DAY! I was feelin' kind of fugly and he made my day. :)Ann

Not that I think some random guy should be the sole determiner of how women see themselves (or anyone)...

but it reinforces....right?

Remember that one time uptown we were at karaoke and one drunk guy came up and started going ON and ON about how you were THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN in the place that night!!!! HE was right and STILL IS!

btw that was me talking about Mr. Random Guy...he was dressed shabbily (as Nathanal noted) except for some immaculate Air Jordans. So now he is the Air Jordan guy.

PS once there was a guy who started hitting on me whie I was playing putt putt golf in my olllld tee shirt and baggy pants, no makeup, etc. etc. etc. so maybe some guys know more than WE do about beauty even as it pertains to physical attraction. :) I mean more often than not I think "Man I feel FUUUGLY today!!! My hair, skin, everything is Blah......gross!" then maybe (like you once said) God is using this person in an odd little way to say, NO, you're beautiful and NOT just in an "inner beauty we are all beautiful women" sort of way but physically you are beautiful too!
