Oh yeah. I've known some apostolic folks who "don't believe" in deodorant or any of those "carnal" things.

Then again, around here there are hippie types who do the same exact thing. It can get real "musty" at times, working in IT.

37?? I totally thought you were in your early 20s for some reason!!

Some have said women wear stuff to compete with each other, which may be the case but the basis for what women wear regarding makeup, jewelry, etc... is for the opposite sex.
Not hardly. I wear jewelry because I like it and think it's pretty. Same for makeup. I honestly don't give a flip what men think, other than my husband, and he loves me with or without.

Pretty for who? We all wear stuff for others whether we admit it or not. If your husband was out of town for a month would you not wear jewelry while he's gone? I doubt it. I know individuals such as yourself don't wear it with other men in mind, but makeup in general is for the opposite sex. Do women wear red lispstick to accentuate the lips for other women? Nope, for men.

Re: Adornment!!

I think we were discussing painted lips in this thread originally, and the song is talking about ruby red lips. So we're still on topic!
