I feel pretty (oh so pretty)

.

Here's my secret:

    Never get to bed before midnight. Two o'clock is pretty optimal.

    Forgo meals in order to arrive places on time.

    Shave rarely and erratically.

    Run your hands through your hair constantly.

    Stare incessantly at computer screens.

    Obsessively apply chapstick.

    Rub your eyes red.
That's all there is to it! Now you too can have the gaunt madman look I've been perfecting for years. Just add a shirt and tie and you can pass in society, but your underlying appearance will keep everyone on edge.

Just where you want them.

  2. Maybe it's just having read the Twilight discussion at BCC, but...sounds like the results could look kind of vampire-y. I guess that's a good thing?

  6. I don't exactly look like a gaunt madman, but I still do at least three or four of these things.

    I also walk everywhere.

    Stress eat, and then stress clean.

    But then again, I insist on having my outfits--at least during the work week--look impeccably put together. Mostly because I feel as though I'm not.

  11. Gaunt Madman or Modern Day Banker? Is there even a difference?
