What an honest portrayal of just how much real estate is taken up in many women’s minds (certainly mine) by the whole issue of appearance — and how we carry the burden of worrying what the way we present our faces and hair and clothes communicates about who we are. Rejecting makeup might mean we’re honest and liberated, or that we’re unkempt and no fun, or who the hell knows what someone else might make of our grooming choices on any particular morning. I like your grandmother’s approach; sounds like she and Amy Poehler would have understood one another.
