I know it's long. stick with me.
I want to know more about you lovely ladies of "I'm No Plain-Faced Girl!"
So here's the deal. I'm going to answer these questions myself, and then I would be oh so delighted if you would post a comment (delete my answers, obviously) and fill them in for yourself! Let's all get to know each other, shall we?
*Note- some of these questions are ridiculous. Some of them are fun. Some of them are the usual. Some of them ask you things that you may think you were never going to share with anyone. You were obviously wrong there. (Ok, just kidding, you don't have to answer all of them if you don't want....)
And also, I have heard some concerns from a few of you that you would like to leave a comment but you don't know how! THIS IS A SHAME! I have been wondering if you are just shy, or afraid to comment, and I hope it's just that you don't know where the button is to leave one...otherwise...I'm sad. I would love to hear from you girls, and you leaving comments lets me know that you're here and reading.
So please, if only to leave a smile on my face (it'll be a big one, I promise...) PARTICIPATE! Leave a comment by finding the blue font that says "comments" at the very bottom right hand part of the post.
