You want him to gasp because you look so fabulous. You want to tell him all about your new boyfriend, your promotion at work, and the incredible vacation you just took. You want to have a perfect hair day, gleaming white teeth, and be dressed in your most comfortable yet naturally sexy outfit that highlights your assets (a.k.a. cleavage).
You don’t want to be dressed in your somewhat frumpy work clothes, which don’t do much more than hang there and make you look sort of professional, yet boring. You don’t want to have a nose that’s still slightly red and chapped from blowing it all weekend. You don’t want to be fighting with the new bangs you got last week that still don’t want to sit properly on your forehead. And you certainly don’t want to feel more bloated than you’ve felt in months from PMS and a four-day lapse at the gym due to aforementioned plague. Sigh.
