Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 667

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. 🌻

1. Can you dance?

I want to say “YES!” because, you know…I just want to. 🙂 I used to take dance classes back in the day, and when I was in my 20s and early 30s, you would have found me dancing until the wee hours every weekend. Now, though? GIRL! My dance skills are questionable. I mean, I can still stay on the beat, but it’s not like I’m doing anything cool while I’m moving. My arms swing, my feet shuffle, but that’s about it.

Soooo, I guess my answer is “yes, kinda. But mostly no.” Hahaha!

2. Tote bag or backpack?

Backpack, because my hands need to be free!

3. Would you rather go running or swimming?

Swimming, ideally in a heated pool or a tropical sea, because I do not relish cold bodies of water.

4. Worst haircut you ever grew out?

There’ve been so many, but the one for the infamous Razor Incident of 1999 was the worst! A stylist at a bougie SF salon hacked away at my hair with a razor like she was cutting a path through the Amazon jungle with a machete.

It was a mess. The top part of my head puffed out, and the bottom half was super flat. I ended up with a mullet that took me two years to grow out.

As you can see…I never gotten over the trauma.

5. One of your favorite spring flowers?

All of them, but I particularly love freesia because they’re so dainty and fragrant. Note to self: plant some freesia bulbs this year.

6. Fringe or feathers?

Fringe. Why not?

7. What was your highest maintenance hairstyle?

It was in middle school in the late ’80s. I had this whole “hair bear” situation happening, and the prep work for it was INTENSE. Every morning, I curled my bangs, then cemented them into place with layer upon layer of hairspray.

It was huge! I swear, a strong breeze would have carried me away. It took about 30 minutes every day to do. All the girls did something similar, though. I remember what a big deal it was to go to school without your bangs, LOL! So silly. I should’ve just taken that time to sleep in.

8. How are your cat eyeliner skills these days?

100% adequate!

9. And how about your cat (as in the animal) assisting skills?

Totally on point, because I get a lot of practice assisting all of the neighborhood cats.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
