Tis expensive to be a woman

Truly I feel for all female kin who have to go through life in ways similar as I.

Call it high maintenance, I personally call it keeping myself ALIVE AND WELL

Take for instance,

Scenario 1
I was finishing off in the closet trying to get myself a pretty and INCREDIBLY affordable black dress. Unfortunately the lining of the undergarment was making a loud presence beneath the sheer sheen fabric so I was really contemplating on getting the dress all together. I looked at my friend and asked him if the dress would be all it’s worth on me (and I appreciate the forwardness in some men).

He nodded in respect and encouragingly said ‘You got it; flaunt it’

We both decided that it would have been best that I purchase a suitable undergarments before I make the little black dress mine.

So I asked the people who knew best. Undergarment promoters. She picked out a tan one when I said I would like to have a body hugging pair.

All I heard was ‘This one from bla bla, made from bla bla, from bla bla’, as I was gaping at paying RM30++ for a single pair of underwear.

Willing to painfully part with the money, I looked at her in the eye and asked her ‘So…this is going to make the lining invisible?’

“Oh that? No no. That’s JUST body hugging. What you’re looking for is a body hugging SEAMLESS pair.” She then scuttles away, and comes back with a pair tagged with an RM60 price tag.

My male company giggles at and mercilessly pokes the idea that he could buyin my arms and ranted about how much I have to pay just to look good just around the ass. Dammit. a dozen underwears when I can only get a pair. Insecure and feeling that undergarment companies are becoming professional ripoffs, I clutch the purchase like a pot of gold

Scenario 2

Just as I was getting incredibly comfortable with the ever socially homogeneous idea of the 3-step skin care system. Some people in the beauty industry just HAD TO take that a few notches up. Bye bye 3 step. Hello 7 steps!. All in the name of avoiding crows feet before it’s actually your time to have them. A friggin serum, weekly mask, a whitening formula and sunscreen! Geez

Scenario 3
Every month, I have to pay JUST TO BLEED. Nuff said.

AND THAT’S WHY…

Minishorts and I have started up something of our own to cater to a woman’s needs, the practical way :)

Go see what makes us stay so Youthful even in our own such trying metropolitan lifestyles :)
