some things that maybe some of you have thoughts about.
1.Is it a sin to be beautiful? Do we have to hide our women behind amish(sorry Bro.Hoover) and period costumes?
2.Do we have to give up the salon if we don't cut out hair? I go for the great deep shampoo and hot drier condition.
3.Is a manicure and pedicure a sin if you don't use colored makeup and go for the french or american look?
4.Is it a just an attempt for men who want to be cheap and make their wives exist on a plain...and I mean plain level?
5.Can a person retain a holy appearance and life style with balance and not go over the top and become really worldly? just some thoughts.

How about some answers while not crucifying those who do or don't?

If beauty is a sin then I am as pure as the driven snow.

I won't rationalize anything that I may WANT to do, 'cause what I WANT to do is whatever JESUS wants me to do.

Salesmanship 101. Or is it Saleswomanship 101?

True. I think it's easier to see on somebody who hasn't added a synthetic glow to the facial equation.

LOL...I'd much rather see some synthetic glow than red. puss-filled zits, or old age spots.

Carl, God bless yer heart

Speaking as a pretty woman, with or without the helps of plastic surgery, manicures, pedicures, and a hairdresser...I feel that pretty women in our Apostolic cirlces have been the target, not only of jealous women, but also men who try to blame their problems with lust and infidelity on us.

Have you ever asked yourself why you have to tell everyone you are pretty?
