Thank you, bannister, for saying so...especially the "naturally" part, since I like natural stuff!
Putting some makeup on for that picture reminded me why I really don't like makeup. When you have makeup on your face, you kind of become untouchable, even to yourself! If you want to rub your face on your sleeve to scratch an itch, you can't for fear of smearing your makeup and getting your sleeve dirty. When you get warm, eyeliner runs. Lipstick also tastes awful when you get a little in your mouth.
And mascara! It coated each lash in a little stiff, black coffin! No more silky eyelashes. I decided after that picture that I'd never try using mascara again. I felt so unnatural, so coated. Also, it took effort to find vegan-friendly makeup not made with animal parts or tested on animals.

That is a downside of violins...they can be pretty expensive...but sometimes you can find some that are affordable. If you want to play the violin, DO DO DO, Veggie! Currently, I have my eyes on...a
cello (drool)...
Two nights ago, I dreamed I was playing the cello. It felt very natural.
I'm pleased you felt I looked stunning!

I don't trust them.

I like ferrets, duga. They're slinky. I didn't know they are stinky, though.

About the part of what you said in bold: Yes and yes and yes and yes!!! Did I say yes? YES!
I agree with you that no one should be pressured to do anything for someone else's pleasure. I never do anything for someone else's pleasure if I feel pressured. The good side of this is that if I *try* to do something that I think might bring pleasure to someone else, it means I really want to, and someone has made me feel free to be however I want to be.
And you're right about the double standard. There *is* a double standard when it comes to men's and women's bodies, such as with the underarm hair issue.

Why would anyone ever be offended by cleavage? There is nothing wrong with women having breasts and showing them.
