I told my nail technician (yes, I have a nail technician... or at least when I have money) that I wanted something "beige" for my nails last month. I was shocked when she replied "Why?" (as in "Why? Don't you like having friends?")
Perhaps I had become all too accustomed to our otherwise phatic exchange during which I say "I'll try Sole Mate this week" (a dark red almost black favorite of mine) and she says "Great!"
What I really wanted was "greige" (grey and beige) but I couldn't say that... conservative women surrounded me at the nail bar and I could feel their eyes darting over to us; the overhead pendant light was suddenly a heat-lamp.
I ended up going with a light pink. UGH... But two weeks later I got greige.
I feel so empowered that today I'm thinking of designing a t-shirt. But it won't be stupid like the ones that say "I love hot moms."
P.S. I hope my readers (all 3 of you) will forgive me for not writing lately. I'm recommitting to you today. Love and belief,
Natalie

Greige- I love it. Next time I get a manicure- which will be soon, (because let's face it, these Alaskan Winters are KILLING my cuticles), I will check it out!
