Well, i guess that puts an end to any thoughts of being a drag queen.

You could try staining your lips with berry juice, Tilt.

No. I think it is all just too much work.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Being a female looks like way too much work.

Agreed. That is probably why the lazier half of humanity choose to be reborn as males ... :twisted:

I think this is true. My ex wife wore alot of lipstick and i did kiss her at times and she quite often remarked at how stupid i was. She was apparently unscathed.

I have worn lipstick only three times, once when acting in this skit wherein I had to dress as a woman (they really should have given me a longer dress, to cover my legs - 'eww') and a couple of times when my daughters insisted on giving me a 'makeover' and I, doting dad that I am, let them subject me to this 'treatment' (which even included a wig). The eye-liner was actually quite difficult to get off. As for this powdery substance they applied to my face, it kind of stank. I don't know how you ladies put up with it all.
