How Girly Test
this seemed reasonably original for this kind of thing. so why not.
Check all that apply and total it up!
[x] You own over 10 bottles of nail polish probably total, but it's mainly through buying things on sale when I see "oo, shiny" weird colours at the drugstore. I probably don't actually wear nail polish more than 4 times a year.
[] You own a designer purse
[] You own perfume that cost over $60
[] You have fake nails
[] You have more body/hair products than you can use my dad jokes about how many "chemicals" it takes to keep me, but I do actually use them all, just not all every day.
[] Your pet is a chihuahua/Pomeranian/Siamese/Yorkie
[] You have clothes/shoes/accessories for your pet
[] You have enough clothes to cover an entire refugee camp.
[] You have enough pictures to create your own wallpaper
[] A pink comforter, walls or sheets.
Total so far: 1
DO YOU:
[] Spend more time at the mall than you do at home/work
[x] Have a hair color that is not natural not at the moment, but I should. however, I don't think this question is asking "do you have purple or green hair", but rather, "do you dye your hair", which is a stereotypically "girly" thing, while ignoring the idea of truly "unnatural" hair colors. and, like men don't dye their hair? especially nowadays?
[] Have "blonde moments" at least once a day
[x] Buy stuff because it's awesome and then never wear it
[] Constantly keep your phone at your side
[x] Dance around in your room when nobody else is home this is "girly"?
[x] Have a name for your car. this is "girly"? doesn't it depend on the nature of the name?
[]Know what celebrity is dating who and who broke up this week

And you're right some of those are scary (and also a few are specifically American, like particular stores and phrases/sayings, which just dont exist at all in the UK).

Date: Mar. 7th, 2007 01:23 pm (UTC)From:What I find even more unnerving than the attitude about what constitutes "girly" embedded in the questions, is that y'all think being girly is a bad thing.

Date: Mar. 7th, 2007 02:09 pm (UTC)From:And I'm male. :)
I don't read magazines (I read journals instead ;), and I don't know the US shopping climate well enough to even know what the stores listed are (except for Victoria's secret - and I'd shop there if I could afford it. For my gf :)

didn't even occur to me that such a job would be "girly".
