At the outset this blog post may not be geared towards the younger CAGs on the site. And yes I do know that I may be setting myself up for constant flaming but I just wanted to throw this question out there:

Are you comfortable enough/care enough about your hygiene and appearance that you would get a manicure or pedicure?

Well, I got my second pedicure on Saturday nite with my "FWB" and I gotta say that getting a pedicure is so relaxing. My feet have never felt or looked this good. I got my first manicure a couple of weeks ago and that also was great. The nail technician told me that I was overdue apparently....27 years overdue for that matter. Note: the pedicure did not include fish.

I mean do we CAGS not care about our appearance that we would totally shun a little upkeep on ourselves? I know some of you may say this is "gay" but keep an open mind. I know that as a young professional I try to maintain my appearance by going to the gym, cutting my hair at a salon, buy clothes for work and make sure they are maintained, drycleaned and the tie always matches the shirt, and shine your shoes. You do know that shoes are the first thing women look at it and you can tell a lot about a man by the shine of his shoes. I assume that some of us spend money on clothes and not just games? Right?

I think that us CAGs should have a little vanity and take care of ourselves and try to break free from that misconception that we are all just social misfits who are maladjusted and live with their parents. Nowadays it is chic to be nerdy but just make sure your not that the 40 year old virgin.

Lastly, I dont think I would have gone to get the manicure/pedicure on my own but going with Carol made it that much easier. Heck I even read the latest Game Informer and played with my iphone the whole time so it cant be that bad right?
