The one with the long hair....!!

“You should dress up like a girl” , she said for the nth time as I stood in my shorts and Tee , trying very hard not to roll my eyes.

“I AM a girl; I have long hair” , I concluded. Well that part was true ,I did have long hair!

“Try looking like one sometimes” ,she mocked ,brandishing the eye-liner in her hand like a weapon of mass destruction.

“Come , lets try it on you”.

Uh-oh. Now this couldn’t be good.Let me be clear.I have nothing against eye-liners or nail paints(including the fact that several times I can’t tell them apart and consequences follow.) like this one time when I very confidently put a “different black lipstick” , only to find out that it was a kohl stick! Needless to say , I had to roam around with a slightly “different “ lip color for the next two days. Hence my experiences(I have had several) put me in a phobia of cosmetics. So “ lets try it on you” kind of kills. However unable to find a feasible way to run or the voice to protest , I sat down. After about an eternity of “dont shake”s and “stay still”s , I was left sitting there , waiting for the crap to dry. Now the thing with patience is that it lives a short life , especially in this story ,and so when I opened my eyes , I looked straight out of a Ramsay horror film. No amount of rubbing takes that off your face , let me tell you. Only after I turned my face into the likes of a “dhobi ghaat” did I manage to look a little normal. And hence a resolution was derived: STAY AWAY FROM THE MUCK.

Having had that experience , anyone would have killed the make up artist or tossed. But I thought “what the hell” , n hence the next part. Now let me enlighten the less informed of you about short dresses:

1) 1)They make you look good(depending still)

2) 2) If you stand under a fan , you become a living replica of Marlyn Monroe(not the good parts)

3) 3) Don’t even think about jumping

4) 4) You have no option but to be at your “lady-like” best!

So when on a very unfortunate day I wore something of the kind , 2) ,3) & 4) happened. About 1) , I cant say nothing. Well I tried , but its difficult to be ladylike , and hence very conveniently and less than 8 hours later , I was back to my shorts clad jumping stairs self. As far as “looking like a girl” is concerned , well , I DO have long hair!!
