The Message interpretation is pretty sobering:
1 Timothy 2:9 (The Message)
8-10 Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. |
Are you asserting, then, that primping before a mirror or wearing the latest fashions is sinful? 
Is that the concept behind this verse?
