Oh, I see!  You were only kidding!!!     :-)

I agree!  I don't see wearing makeup much different from being well-dressed
either.  It seems people dress up and put on makeup usually to *impress* other
people -- they *are* "putting up a phony front".  Okay, I know there are a
variety of other reasons (social pressure, vanity, threatened w/jobs, etc)
but they all relate to someone's idea that you need to add something to
yourself to make *you* look good.

Two final thoughts (for now anyways):
- Isn't it more important how you see yourself than to worry about
  how others will see you?  (I guess that proves I'm insane, huh :-)
- If someone likes you for yourself, then you know they really like
  *you* and not some "phony" image you are trying to project.
