Real girls buy cute shoes to match their outfits...we buy shoes for traction and long term comfort with the perfect balance of stability and light weight, quick-drying material. Real girls buy hand bags with adequate storage for lip gloss, cell phones, wallet and sunglasses...we buy an externally framed ruck that can hold up to 70lbs of gear and fits a 22-36" torso...something with pockets for knives, e-tools and a hydration system. Real girls search to the perfect enamel bangles...we haul gravel in buckets. Real girls get manicures and hand massages...we spend a few minutes a week peeling calluses and biting broken nails. Real girls always have perfect hair...we fight with pins and headbands to keep our locks from getting in the way and come hell high water or some easily accessible scissors...we keep our hair out of our faces. Real girls have boy friend's to dote on them...we have a 50# sand bags that we dotingly and conspicuously carry around town . Real girls spend 25 minutes on the elliptical machine...we don't know how to spell eliptacle machine. Real girls drink applitini's at dinner...we chug a gallon of water a day. Real girls eat yogurt and salads and tiny elegant food...uh....we feast 8 times a day like ravenous dogs. Real girls wake up at noon on Saturdays and Sundays ...by noon we've eaten twice, gotten our first workout in and declined at least two invites to social gatherings that more than certainly include afternoon adult bevvies. Real girls stay out until 2am...we can't normally make it past 2230. Real girls have it easy...we aren't Real Girls...Glamazons...ask somebody!
well spoken... but you buys shoes and handbags!!! Maybe not anymore, but you did!
ReplyDeletereal girls complain that their jeans don't fit because they are too long, they are bloated from eating a morsel of chocolate, or because they are too freaking skinny and have no butt.....We don't fit in our jeans because we squat heavy and have long, muscular legs to die for :)
