Just watching an episode of Ambulance
and one of the call handlers is a young woman who looks amazing
clearly spent a long time getting ready for work with the eyelashes, makup and all that
reminded me of when we were having form photos at school when I was a teacher
when it was changed so that the form group had to include the form teacher - they also had to schedule female members of staff to have extra time to get ready
the male teachers had to cover their classes for the 15 minutes before that classes photo was due
which we happily did - after we stopped laughing about it
The girls loos were chaos that lunchtime with girls getting their makeup and hair right as well!!!
I joined in a wore a different tie
the girls inmy form group innsisted on fixing my hair (what there is of it) and makeing sure my tie and jacket were right
(that was a deliberate policy on my part - they were an "interesting" group and that sort of thing made them feel I was one of them)
