Why do we still care about looks during crises

Post Reply New Topic

For me, I feel better about myself if I shower every morning, and put on regular clothes, although I'm not wearing my work uniform at the moment. I managed to get a haircut shortly before things shut down, and I'm one of those who goes longer than 6 weeks between haircuts, so I'm good there. As for makeup, the only thing I really play with now is eye shadow, liner, and mascara because of the mask thing, but I also wear lipsticks I might not wear for work because I can. Even if masks weren't required in my county and city for shopping and getting takeout, I would still wear one to protect others in case I were asymptomatic and didn't know it. I only have a few strands of gray hair that most people never notice, so there's no reason to get those covered.

I think if anything, this pandemic shows how vain and selfish many people are if they're complaining about not getting their hair or nails done. Well, there is one place that does hair and nails at this point, the local funeral home and most probably don't want that kind of appointment at this time.
