Venturing forth today for a doctor appointment--my annual visit with my plastic surgeon to check that the breast reconstruction implants are doing okay. Which they are. He'll want to schedule an MRI (to check for any leaking of the silicone implant), but I'm going to see if I can put that off until spring, when hopefully there might be a vaccine or ( Read more... )

Oh my, that Look would be very hard to ignore. Good luck at your appointment today!

I'm curious to see what movies will be playing at the theaters, since I doubt many new ones are being released!

His looks are sometimes irresistible, but if he starts laying them on too thick, I can just roll my eyes and say, "No, sir." XD

I've seen a few trailers for movies coming out in theaters and none of them look like enough to entice me back except for Top Gun: Maverick. Tom Cruise is an utter weirdo in real life, but he does make fun movies, and that one looks fun just because of all the aviation stuff (I'm not a fan of the whole hyper-testosterone fest of the first one, but... the *flying*.)

The ladies are currently trying to convince me to give them snacks. It's a similar Look.

which means actually getting dressed and looking presentable. I think I've lived in shorts and shabby t-shirts all summer.

Let's face it - quite a few people have gone a bit feral since March...

I do miss going to the cinema, and they have been open for a while here, but no.pe.

Good luck with the appointment!

I have definitely gone feral. I can't remember the last time I even wore any mascara or makeup (before yesterday, that is). XD

It's rather amazing how the animals we think we've domesticated have really just trained *us* to give them free room and board. *g*

I hope the doctor was happy with you.

And that is certainly a Look with a capital L ;)

He seemed pleased. *g* I don't need to see him for another year.

Boomer seems to do most things in capital letters. *g*

The puppy eyes are STRONG with this one. <3

I hope the doctor's appointment went well! I definitely hear you on the shock to the system of those days when you actually have to be presentable, lol.

Boomer definitely got a double dose of Puppy Eye Force when it was parceled amongst his litter. *g*

It was such a shock! I even wore mascara! LOL It did feel a little nice not to look like a schlub, but as soon as I got back home, I wasted no time getting back into schlub mode. *g*

well, the inside of a home *is* a place for shorts (or short skirt) and shabby t-shirt! :)

No short skirts for me, either home or out. I've never had the legs for them, and I don't like the chafing. LOL

uhm... *confused* both shorts and short skirts reveal legs, so what's the difference?

and you know what? i don't have legs for short *insert whatever* either. but i started wearing them a few years ago. it took me 40+ years to realize that i can wear whatever i want.
you know, i've once read the definition of sexy. and the definition said - sexy is not the perfect shape of this or that part of the body, but attitude and self-confidence. i thought - that can't be true. my legs certainly can't be sexy.

but they were right, and i was wrong. i know that now.

With me and short skirts, it's not the leg reveal or trying to look "sexy" (which is... absolutely not something I care one whit about), it's the chafing between my thighs. I've never liked skirts/dresses of any length for that reason, and I hate panty hose and any of the other solutions for it and see no need to mess with any of it when bermuda shorts or jeans/slacks/leggings suit me far more comfortably. I dress my body in ways that's a combination of comfort and making the most of how I look, but none of that is related to feeling inferior about the shape of my legs--they are what they are, and I dress to make them look their best, and to make me the most comfortable.
