Looks. How much?

I don't know how much does it take for a woman to look good. Like how much does it take for her to look like she is naturally good looking?

I guess like all pyramid of chain, the prettiest and I mean in au de naturale mode would be hogging the top 10% of the pretty hierarchy and the rest would be distributed as per the level of looks.

OK, I may sound dumb today to be talking about looks but I honestly must say there is some truth about the importance of looking good to some extend. Because that is how society has decided to go with it and like it or not, when you 'think' you look good, you do feel good.

Don't lie. It's a hidden philosophy (to feeling good) amongst the others like inner self confidence and yada yada yada. AND, tell me who in this wide world will shun from looking good? Who don't want to look good if they are given a chance to look good?

It is actually the magnitude of obsession about it that makes a difference to the level a person could indulge to get there.

Of course the top 10% lucky people don't have to really do that much work. Just like brains. Those who are born smarter or wittier will not have to work as hard as those who doesn't to be 'there.'

So as I was driving home from the saloon at 10.45pm yesterday, I did ask myself if am I that much into my looks that I go to extends of spending hours with my hairdresser along with the couple of hundreds each time. And I realized if I don't however, I look every bit ungroom, unrefined and under. Under the waters and weather. Hahahah… whatever that means. And it does make me feel lousy.

I actually enjoy feeling good looking good. Sounds quite a dumb blonde kind of thing but I can't deny my feelings. Hahah…

And I also realized, how much money to many extend can people look great from that. Look at how money can defy your age whether via surgical, medical or consumption, how a good hair dresser makes a difference to your looks, how a good dermatologist makes you glow, how a good spa or body beautician makes your body look almost proportionate and sleek and how a good fashion consultant could make you look trendy and cool effortlessly.

Money. Looks. Hahah… some women can get everywhere I tell you… and everything. I salute their courage. I'm up to hair and at most beauty saloons. Or dermatologist. It's a HUGE hole burnt in that pocket I say. Heheh… but look how much money can buy in the looks department eh? Heheh… given everything, I think I could even be Ms Universe. Hahah… if only.
