Oh yeah, to explain this:

I imagine I'll have to start doing things like job interviews soon. Sadly enough, I do feel that the addition of makeup to my face makes a positive impact, exudes a more professional image, etc. I wish it weren't that way, but oh well. When done right (and I believe what I'm wearing now is done right, go me!) I feel pretty in it, too. I don't normally feel pretty - cute, good-looking, sexy even sometimes. Not pretty.

I agree with everybody. :) You look older and more... finished. That's a word my mom uses that I hate, but it seems to fit.

Ooh. I've never heard anyone use "finished" in regards to looks. I like it. Do you hate it because you don't like its use, or because your mom always used it?

I hate it because what second-grader wants to be told to wear a belt because it makes them look more finished?

I think it's a concept that has its place -- job interviews, dress-up occasions -- but also was overemphasized in my house when I was young. I did NOT need to wear a belt "to look finished" in second grade.

That's what I thought.
Parents can be silly like that.
Write that down. ;)
