Even back in high school in about 1981, I had a home econ teacher explain to us, brush your hair and your teeth as soon as you get up and put some lipstick on and have breakfast waiting for your husband. Proper grooming was essential because he would be with perfectly groomed business women all day and he shouldn't think of you like you just rolled out of bed.

Smart teacher. It amazes me how many women go to work looking...ummm....unkept (clothes are less than casual, no make-up, hair not styled). The women in our office building (not our company) have gained an average of about 35 pounds a piece over the last couple years. The majority are mid-40's. What attention do they expect to get from hubby in the evening?

We didn't have home economics in my high school.
