Beauty Shmeauty

Why is it that girls feel they have to endure hours of torture for the sake of beauty? For instance, I recently spent 4 hours in a salon getting every bit of nutrience sucked from my hair just to look "pretty". Color, highlights, cut, style...the list goes on and on. As if that wasn't enough I decided to get my eyebrows plucked too. Talk about torture. I felt like I should have been giving up top secret military information after a session of that. Forget making the hostages stand on buckets or fondle each others privates, just schedule them for a "relaxing day of beauty" at their local salon. They'll be giving up Osama in no time flat.
