Mr. Farouk..

You are so detailed and curious..

You have thrown me off.

Im not flirting but I think you are adorable.

There is something about you.

You seem "innocent".

Love

Dallas

 she has sent me many rings, and necklaces, and earrings. I think she has three holes in each ear, she is a knock out.

 On her for sure, she never looks bad, or overdone even with false eyelashes, and she has her lips tattooed, and the same with liner on eyes.

 Well Mr. f, I havevtwo holes in each ear.

 LOL who Zoo? me, no I am good

 Well that always gets mentioned when this sort of topic comes up.(that maybe all women need to be totally covered up)lol.
I just feel that if we are told to dress modestly and not to draw attention to ourselves then why do we do certain things and wear certain things? The thing in Paul's day was that women were wearing too much jewellery and elaborately braiding their hair. The things today are different. but still the principles are the same.
Its just something that I feel God has been speaking to me about in the last few years so I have become more aware of what we women wear and why we wear them.  

 I think what I have tried to ask myself is "is what I am wearing or want to wear drawing attention to myself or not?"It what I am wearing modest?"

I actually dress casually but fairly modestly. I don't wear make up or nail varnish and only earrings that are small and an occasional necklace or bracelet, but again they will be unassuming. That's just what I feel God wants me to do and my husband likes it that I am modest.. He has also changed. he used to like women with lots of make up and women who dressed up a lot, but he prefers that women don't do those things now and just look natural, and look the way that God made them to look. After all when it comes down to it, the only attention that I want is from my  husband. I have no interest in anyone elses attention.

 I also wonder if it is a difference between Americans and The British. I have loads of lovely women friends who are Christians and none of them wear high heels, make up or too much jewellery.My church is lively and charismatic but the women seem to all dress fairly casually and modestly.Generally we are not a church where the women dress up for church,but just wear normal clothes.I like it that way, it is refreshing .

Just my thoughts and opinions..

I don't know about the Brits having beautiful skin lol Maybe its because we get so much rain and cloudy days, so the sun doesn't damage our skin.
I am blessed with great skin, as my mums side are all the same. I have 2 aunties, one late 70's and one late 80's, and neither of them have many wrinkles.Neither wear make up either(or ever have as far as I know). I am 53 and have barely a wrinkle except for a few small 'laughter lines' around my eyes.I also have no cellulite, stretch marks etc also due to the good skin in my family. Mind you I also don't like sitting in the sun so that may help.
I do have many friends with lots of wrinkles though so it isn't a British thing I don't think.

Tha last time I wore a bit of make up was to my nephews wedding which was March 2008 lol. The next time I wear any will probably be my sons wedding which will be in about a year. I just  don't think putting that stuff on does the skin any good. What do you think? We are always getting reports here about the harm that some of these things can do when they are absorbed by the skin and what with all the removing creams as well, I do wonder if we are doing more harm than good.
Maybe that is partly why I have good skin as I don't wear it?Also I couldnt justify spending ages every day putting it all on and taking it all off. I think I am blessed to have a husband who likes me as I am. I have heard of people who wont go out of the house without putting make up on and that is sad I think.

I do think that the Americans as a rule are more concerned with looks and image and have loads more plastic surgery,and wear more  make up etc etc. At least that is my observation.
My mum didn't wear it and none of my friends do either.One of my daughters doesn't wear any and one does sometimes but certainly not every day.
