I remarked that her face reminded me of roadkill but that I was polite enough not to point it out to all and sundry I am very intolerant of rudeness like this, its just so un-necessary, it makes me very cross. We should celebrate the fact that we look nice rather than revile others for it.

Absolutely - What I don't get is how the people who do this sort of thing can actually think that what they are doing reflects anything but badly on them! :daft: Anyone in that train could see that her behaviour was rude, uncalled for and marked her out as an insecure, jealous witch with severe issues within her relationship. What she said reflected absolutely nothing about you at all other than the fact that you had the grace to rise above knocking the cow's block off (whilst also haveing rather more wit and intelligence than she had) :cooler: - so why do it?

If the aim is to work off her own insecurities on you, why choose a method that displays for the world to see just how justified those insecurites are with regard to her personality at the very least? I just don't understand people sometimes :wallbash:!

The thing that strikes me in this is how she was completely wrong and her boyfriend corrected her for all to hear. And even if Medusa was a God she would be a Goddess, being female and all.

I would have smirked at her with pity.

i will wear something nice and pretty to college on mondays yay for being a lady (maybe not in my case lol!)

some people are just nasty to the core - I always get such a shock when i meet people like that

I lecture in a college and usually wear jeans and hoodies to work, sometimes trousers and I tend to wear dresses in the summer. I take a casual approach to work attire.

This week I decided to give an outing to my wiggle skirt, little black cardigan and shines mary janes. I even did make up and hair.

It seems that people at work have found this facinating and I am the subject of much gossip, including:-
1) I am having job interviews elsewhere
2) I am trying to impress someone
3) I am trying to get a promotion
4) I have lost my mind

Option 4 seems to be the most popular.

Either way, I am finding it most amusing as I know the only reason I dressed like that was for me!

Think I might do jeans on monday then skirt on tuesday and wednesday, jeans on thurs . . . . that'll really confuse them!

Anyone else get gossiped about?

You sound like you're becoming more and more fabulous!! As another lady stated above; I think jealousy has a lot to do with people giving you a hard time. I think a lot more women would like to 'tish it up' a bit but daren't. Consider yourself a missionary or ambassador of Glam and read Simon Doonan wonderful book 'Eccentric Glamour' if you feel yourself wavering. I have a white streak developing on my hairline and love it though I'm constantly getting quizzical looks and comments such as 'aren't you going to cover that grey?' That grey! That grey! It's white, gorgeous, part of my look; so NO NO NO!
