Do not seem to be on the right wavelength .......!

Not being rude but as it was a fashion show I’m not sure why you were surprised by talk of fashion make up etc ?

Each to their own…no shame in not being interested in those things but equally no shame in liking them.

Because I work 3/4 days a week I do have to spend time making myself presentable with light makeup, I do need a good bra and my mane of hair needs taming. All that aside I’m a casual dresser, jeans and a pretty top is normal.

I guess you knew what the event would be like though? And presumably a fund raising show, so hopefully beneficial to your community.
I went to something similar pre Covid. The clothes were not to my taste - not ‘everyday’ wear, but ‘occasion wear’ - and I too rarely wear make up, but it was a jolly occasion which raised a good amount of money (entrance fee / raffle / refreshments).

The talk was all of make-up. hairdos and getting measured for bras. I do not possess any make-up at all (fairly dark-skinned with black eyelashes), I cut my own shoulder length dark brown hair and I do not possess a bra - I buy crop tops from eBay

Lucky girl, we live the same life ? You are not alone.

I’d have made a donation and scarpered, not for me with my ‘unmade’ face and fallen out of bed hair.

If I went to a fashion show held locally, with a posh shop supplying the clothes, I would expect to see an assortment of local ladies, of varying sizes, parading up and down the catwalk, displaying the latest season’s offerings, obviously nicely made up and coiffed.

The hair and make up would be mentioned, and perhaps the wearing of a well fitting bra would be encouraged, but otherwise I would expect it to be all about the fashions.

Having said that, I haven’t been to a fashion show for decades, and have no intention of going to one, but just throwing in my opinion….

???

You are definitely rightly named Lucky girl!
I can't be bothered with makeup but try to get my grey mop cut nicely expensively and have to wear a bra.

I don’t wear make up either and only wear bras when absolutely necessary maybe once a fortnight. I do colour my hair myself and have it cut locally about every 6 weeks.

I wouldn’t feel like a lost soul though. I’d be feeling proudly liberated.

I’d terrify the horses and give small children nightmares if I didn’t do something about myself! My hair has a mind of its own and needs regular taming and if I don’t wear make up I frighten myself in the mirror.

‘Cropped tops”?
Really?!

I still do hairdos and bras. Minimum make-up

Not at all! I have diminishing eyebrows, fair skinned with rosacea and sun damage (mostly UK - Scotland even!!!) no make up! Wear lycra vests from Next instead of bras, or night bras from M&S, grey jaw length hair - thick, currently in knee length denim shorts & Clarks sandals, stopped waxing legs as hair diminishing apart from very hairy knees!!! If I'm going anywhere I use a touch of make up and mascara and nice top and trousers but we are totally out of the habit of going anywhere apart from Dobbies though I was at a funeral with DM last week then got Covid! Not alone Luckygirl.

I used to wear makeup every day when I was working. Now I wear makeup maybe two or three times a week. I can’t be bothered with it if I’m not going out or just going to the supermarket or to visit my elderly mother in her care home. I make the effort when meeting up with friends or am going to be engaged in any social activities with family.
However, I go every few weeks to the hairdresser to get my hair colour put on, and a cut and blow dry.
I wear comfortable clothes at home (joggers and tee shirts) but wear nicer clothes out of the house.

Any nice clothes?

fairly dark-skinned with black eyelashes lucky you, Luckygirl, my eyelashes have shrunk and I look washed out without makeup.

And ... oh I won't go on ?
