I saw Nan blowing her stack in a thread about not commenting on women’s appearances?! What is she talking about? What went down on TOB?

I believe it had to do with how some of the teams seem to get really made up for the games including the long fake eye lashes. Few posters claimed their disdain for the look.

I saw Nan blowing her stack in a thread about not commenting on women’s appearances?! What is she talking about? What went down on TOB? I've not read the thread, but I suspect nyhusky is right - the current fad of mega-lashes probably got some mention, which hit the Nanometer button. Ursusminor and I have chatted about this - appearance is part of the "prep" for a big game, as it impacts confidence, focus, state of mind. Now, there may be some guys - males, specifically - who doubt or dismiss this, but, back when I was bashing heads (football), I had my pre-game routine, which included what I wore and the music I listened too. It does help focus, and narrow your mindset. I coached softball for many years, and those players had their routines, too - so, even tho' I may think that the mega-lashes look, well, strange, doesn't mean that it doesn't work for the players who wear 'em. I'll still make fun of 'em, but, I do understand the underpinning.

I would imagine it’s fair game to comment in general regarding playing major college basketball games with long fake eyelashes as long as your not singling out a particular student athlete. Personally I don’t understand it but I’m 40 so I’m old. I just chalk it up to kids being different than they were when I was in school. Nan getting worked up over nothing again?

It's a little much for me, but to each his own. Exactly. I mean really, whatever either way. Nan was carrying on like posters were stepping over the line. I should have known. This board, although smaller is so much better. I’m happy to be here. Wish I could post more.

Not my style. But then again I don’t wear mascara. I am not fond of tattoos either. Men or women. Not fond of nose or lip piercings. But if it makes other people happy to sport them, go for it.

Then again...regular stack blowing has become like a maintenance thing with Nan. I think they added a couple of pages to her manual in case folks forget to trigger it. ...just sayin'

I'm disappointed no one commented on my UConn/Baylor pregame report where I said that Evina had the advantage over Carrington by an eyelash.

I think it was on Facebook, pretty sure not on this board and I don't think TOB, but not positive, that someone made the comment that the trend in women's basketball is eyelashes, men's basketball is beards, and at least it isn't the other way around. Thankfully. I'm not fond of tattoos or piercings either, but like you, feel that folks are free to do whatever they want.

All I can think of is Tammy Faye, who "masterminded" that look back the day.

I think Tammy Faye used pounds of mascara, though. Here is a link to how they are applied. To apply them initially and maintain them can cost from $1000 to $2500 per year!!!

Every time I look in the mirror it reminds me why I shouldn't care about what other people look like, or dress like or you name it. As for TOB, they spend as much time launching missiles at each other as they do talking about the team. No thank you. Nope. No.
