Essie Pound Cake with OPI Spark de Triomphe thumb:
My labmate (who is consistently seriously rude to me) saw my mani, grabbed my thumb, gasped and made a face, then said:
"Are you kidding me with this?! That is so high school."
I guess it hurt because the implication was that it was tacky - and I really don't like or want to be tacky. I tend to be more reserved in my fashion choices and I like it. Hell, I even think of my fashion sense as classy. So I think that is why her words hit me like that.
But - sticks & stones, right? I've decided to believe that her insults stem from jealousy - this seems to be the common thread in most of her put-downs. I have tried to stay above it by never saying anything negative or mean to her, but it hasn't really worked.
Why must women be so cruel to each other?
