Last login: 7 weeks agoShannon is a 33 year old woman in a relationship from Great Falls, Montana, USA.

My real name is Shannon, but "Cat" works just as well. I'm a homemaker and freelance artist/writer currently living in Montana with my fiance and my one-eyed ginger cat. In addtion to the above, I'm also a card-carrying introvert, a history buff, a wanna-be chef, a stubborn dreamer, and well... a little bit of an egomaniac, but in the most charming possible way. So I hope, anyway. You can find out more about me by surfing over to my website at shannonhilson.com. There is plenty of my visual art, creative writing, and poetry there to keep you entertained. I also keep a blog there for those of you that are interested in keeping up with me outside of Stumble Upon.

STYLEnosh : ARE YOU A STYLE HATER???: May 13, 2008 12:19pm (1 review) fashion, blogs, style http://www.stylenosh.com/stylenosh/2008/...; Actually, this lovely lady's entire blog is a very cool read which I highly recommend to women who are interested in fashion or style. However, I can really relate to this particular post. This same type of thing used to happen to me at jobs where dressing up or being stylish was optional all the damn time.

I'm not really sure when having style, or liking to look nice, became a sign that someone thinks they're better than everyone else. Don't get me wrong, because I definitely have my days where I just throw on whatever or don't wear make-up because I'm going to be sitting around the house playing video games, but I love clothes, and make-up, and perfume. I like to dress nicely more often than not, so part of me longs for the days when people thought that almost every day... every person (including themselves)... was worth dressing up for.; Delete this site from your blog? or Delete review only
