Because a bit of colour is a public service.
Because I am proud of my hands.
Because it will remind me I'm a woman.
Because I will look like a survivor.
Because I can admire them in traffic jams.
Because my daughter will say ugh.
Because my lover will be surprised.
Because it is quicker than dyeing my hair.
Because it is a ten-minute moratorium.
Because it is reversible.

hehe. I like it. At first I thought you wrote it and I thought, "What daughter Mands?"
p.s. I hope you have a daughter by the time I get home. I really do.
I found my red nail polish the other day; it was missing since we moved two months ago and I was stoked when I found it again! Haven't had a chance to paint my nails yet, but I will! Ohhh I will...
AND Wear red lipstick! it looks HOT!
