Yes, back to Charlottesville, VA, France with you!

Actually, I think Hotdog speaks a lot of sense.
 
This should be the real question. What's up with long fingernails anyway? Why bother. Seems like a ridiculous cultural stereotype perpetrated on women. Make up, perfume and long fingernails are absurd. Break free of the Matrix and trim those talons and stop painting your face like Bozo the Clown. It'll also probably make typing on your iPhone easier.

culturally it's what's considered "beautiful"
though it probably originated as a sign that the woman didn't have to work, and so could grow long, "useless" nails, over the years, that social statement of wealth has evolved into a widely (not completely ;)) accepted mode of beauty. If I were in a different culture, I'm sure I'd be pining for or have smaller feet, my lip stretched, or a full-face tattoo. Ya, one may call me a sell-out or vain, but I like to feel pretty and this is what has been taught to me to be "beautiful."


Apologies for any run-on sentences. The iphone screen isn't wide enough for me to see a whole sentence at once. I am getting OK EDGE speeds in this doctor's office, though. :)
