Vanity Disasters

[InLove]

I'm taking the Guru's advice from the tread "whats the worst injury you've ever had" and created this thread. I have to admit I've had a few.

I burn myself quite often on me hair straightners and get shampoo in my eyes almost every time I wash my hair. I'm actually quite clumsy I'd never thought of myself as clumsy before

At a job interview a few weeks ago I got there on time and it all went well. It wasn't until I was leaving that I saw myself in the mirror and realised that I didn't look as flawless as I thought. My blusher hadn't blended with the rest of my make-up and was too dark. I looked like I'd run a marathon Oh well. I didn't want the job anyway (at least that's what I tell myself)

Have any of you had any vanity disasters?

This happened at the age of 18 when I was trying to be vain and look cool:

I was on a packed bus wearing a very tight pair of jeans. (I was feeling trendy) The bus was aproaching the town centre, I rang the bell to indicate that I wanted to get off at the next stop.
I was seated at the back of the bus and stood up to get to the front. To my horror I felt and heard a ripping noise
I realised that my jeans had split from the back to just about the zip I tried to ignore the giggles as I removed my jacket to cover my rear

I had to get another bus back home so that I could get changed.

At least I can laugh about it now

I used to 'think' I was, now I'm older and much wiser to be too bothered by vanity

Does that mean I'm allowed to be vain because I'm young

Great! I finally have an excuse

I think that it was me that changed, I realised that other things mattered more to me and maybe others

When I was either 16 or 17 (can't remember exactly, it was a while ago!!) New Model Army did a free gig in City Square, Leeds. I had to go, as well, it was free and I was into a couple of their tracks..

Well, I got all dressed up, I wasn't old enough to permanently dye my hair mad colours as I was still at school, so I used bright pink temporary hair colour mousse.

I left the house looking the part and feeling really cool . However, about a third of the way through the gig it started to rain really heavily. I soon found out that my wonderful hair dye washes out with rain and I left the gig with pink hair mousse that had run down my face and dyed my face pink before it dried...

I didn't feel quite so cool then !!!

I had to laugh at this because it reminded me of my sister. One haloween she sprayed her hair black with a can of spray dye. We were indoors at a disco but she got hot and started to sweat. like in your story it began to run down her face.

The thing with my sister is that her natural hair colour is ginger so although most of her hair was still black there were a few orange bits showing

I think the mid to late 60s was ALL fashion disasters - and is anyone out there old enough to remember having to lie down to zip up their jeans, and then having to try and get up again without bending! How we didn't damage all our internal organs is a mystery

I wasn't born in the 60's and I've done that! The culprit? SKINNY JEANS
I've given up on them. They're not made for *Ahem* curvier women (women with hips, a butt or even a tiny belly).
