Docholliday answered Monday December 12 2005, 4:31 am: It would really help if I knew your age, but oh well. Holy crackers your Mom sounds like she is trying to give you hooker make up, DO NOT LET HER DO THAT TO YOU ANYMORE. Yeesh that sounds incredibly horrible. Ok, you have got to sit her down and tell her no more crazy make up, you are your own person and you should be able to wear what makeup and clothes you like(as long as they aren't outrageous). Anyways she cannot force you to wear crazy make up and long dreeses, you aren't bloody going to meet the King and Queen. Although sometimes dark eyeshadow and red lipsticj can be really hot, it doesn't mean you should wear it all the time, m ake up now daays is more geared toward your natural beauty not how you can look like a french whore for the day(by the way I am exaggerating on the whore thing) but gosh it sounds like she puts on a lot of make up. ometimes yhou just gotta embrace the paleness, plae can be very pretty, example Nicole Kidman, look at most actresses they have pretty pale skin. If you want your special occasion to be great then you have got to tell her no in a non offensive way, or if she does not listen, I suggest letting her do it the taking extra mae up with you and redoing it before you go into the place where the prom or whatever is. Good lucj cuz you need it, hope I helped. [ Docholliday's advice column | Ask Docholliday A Question ]
LadyGoodman answered Saturday December 10 2005, 2:45 am: Your mother NEEDS THERAPY. But obviously, that would be a decision she'd have to make for herself and she probably won't. Honestly, I consider this a form of child abuse. Have you tried talking to another adult about it, father, aunt, uncle, grandma, counselor, teacher, anyone? This is not right for your mom to be doing. You're a child and do not need to wear make up to be beautiful. Being youthful means natural beauty and older people use make up to try to obtain what you already have. You can wipe that make up off your face yourself. Keep doing that and you might start to get a point across. :) [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]
