And now for something completely frivolous.....make up out hunting

chestnut cob said:
I always put make up on, even for autumn hunting at 6am! But then I don't leave the house without, at the very least, tinted moisturiser, concealer and mascara! For AH I would usually go with that, then for hunting proper, when I have more time to get sorted, I'd do a full face of make up that I would normally do for work (I should point out that I never look like David Dickinson and am also always careful not to get it on my collar LOL!).

Bet you don't repair sitting on your horse?

What can I say?

Typical predatory feline charm but the hissing and the claws are only the bat of an extended eyelash away.

5 kittens of various ages from 3 different Tom cats, along with 2 abortions.

Toms cats always chosen for their ability to provide improved shelter and food as a priority. The fact that this might necessitate their absence from the family residence, not a major concern. As it simply allows greater freedom to go on the prowl.

Has been known to toy with the occasional small prey animal and to rake any other female whom she suspected of gaining an advantage with those perfectly manicure claws.

Should come with a NTBT(not to be trusted) label securely tied to her horse box.
 
Not suprised my OH likes mud on a girl- when we met, he was in a ditch![/QUOTE]

Good Man!! I used to have a pic from H&H that just summed it all up for me, from one of the Gloucs area hunts I think, it was in the 10 memorable pics of the year 2001/2, a rather gorgeous girl stretched out on her back, legs akimbo in a less than elegant manner, plastered in mud, her horse looking down at her with that angelic/butter wouldn't melt expression that only horses can achieve after they've dumped you, but her absolutely roaring with laughter, the sheer joy of life evident to all.

Far more attractive to me than a Barbie clone who looks like she's had make-up fired at her from a shot gun!

Oooh, sounds like a really nasty piece of work.

Have you been clawed yourself, Soggy?

Clearly thereafter filling haynets was a moment of sheer delight with the wisps of hay embedded in hair, hairnets and sweaters ........ doubtless not a few subscribers could regale the congregation with, well shall we say 'all ways expect the unexpected when filling haynets'.

No do chastise me ..... it's your very naughty naughty minds - all of you. Now just settle down and go and get some saddle soap rubbed into the flaps of that saddle.

I suggest you think about using rawhide leathers too!

Not sure about the rawhide leathers lol but if it floats your boat.....

Point I'm trying to make is prefer the eau naturelle look...rather than the you've been tangoed!

LOL

My point about the rawhide leathers being a serious seperate sideshow, (always try to inject some seriousness into matters) in that they tend to stretch and get one well down in the saddle and therefore helpt to prevent one parting from one's mount at an inappropriate moment. If they lengthen too much simply take them up a hole or two.

Whilst we are all on the subject of make up - the ladies will detect that some male members of the congregation clearly have an opinion on these issues.

Related Subject - Hairnets - absolutley - if any lady dare come out - even on exercise in our yard, they are told VERY POLITELY to find a hairnet! I don't care how short it is - HAIRNETS please.

I expect to be thrown to the hounds by some, on the basis I have too many opinions and it is none of my business.

EXACTLY

and one does not leave my yard without a hairnet!

A lack of a hairnet on ladies is unforgivable and the more so out hunting.

Have a look at all the ladies who are with mounted regiments, indeed I believe it is part of Queen's Regulations and most certainly wholly mandatory for mounted policewomen.

In fact and I will stand corrected, I understand it is a disciplinary matter before one’s superior or commanding officer.

If everybody who hunts, follows the high turnout standards of the mounted regiments and the police they will provide an excellent image to the public generally.

To wise to go and fish in that particular pool. I'm also not good looking enough and not well healed enough to attract her predatory attentions. My designer labels come from M&S and Primark not Paris or Milan. LOL

Best to just stay as nodding passing acquaintances.
 
We all know the dangers of smoking yet there are still thousands that continue to puff away on the fags. The same goes for class A drug addiction.

Put a sign up say Danger Do Not Touch on a wire fence and you'll always get some fool who'll risk getting zapped.

I think it has something to do with the male psychi.

The saying that has a great deal of truth behind it is. "An erect willy has no brains!"
 
Hmm, 'wearing makeup' does not equal 'bad fake tan and wearing thick foundation 10 shades too dark for your skin tone' style makeup. I've seen riders wearing makeup and looking great and I've also seen the over the top tangoed ones. They should never be lumped into the same catergory!

I wouldn't leave the house without makeup. Don't see why hunting or riding in general is much different to wearing makeup for going to work or going out, you just have to find stuff that stays put! Some recommendations-

Clinique Work Out foundation is good when riding or at the gym etc, and it evens out your skin if you get blotchy when you're exercising. And it comes in a nice creamy shade for deathly pale women like myself lol

Using a lip/cheek stain is better than using a normal powder blusher for riding because it's harder to be swept off by the wind or sweat, and it lasts ages as you only need a tiny amount. Benefit Benetint/Posietint are nice ones but you can get similar from Superdrug.

Lancome waterproof mascara is the best I've ever tried, but Max Factor does a good one too for much less. Maybelline waterproof eyeliner is also really good, but I've found it's best to go for a smokey/smudgey line rather than a sharp one so that if it gets rubbed, it won't look as bad!

I just use any old lip balm, Vaseline, or peachy-pink natural coloured lipstick, because I like to keep my eyes the main focus and you shouldn't go for eyes AND lips, just pick one. If you're a lips person then there are plenty of stay-put lipsticks out there- obviously a matte one will be better than a glossy one unless you want horse hairs and other **** stuck to your lips lol :)
 
Jeeeezzz!

I never realised that slapping on the old war paint was that technically involved.

I'm mightily glad as a fella its just shower, shave and s**t, before stepping across the threshold to go out hunting.
 
Thanks Caroline, that's actually the first practical post! What about Maybelline waterproof mascara, does that stay put?

I'm not going out buying Clinique foundation, I've got a bottle full of Bobbi Brown stuff which was too expensive! I wonder if that will stand up to a day's hunting?

Soggy, you don't know the half of it! At least hair removal isn't an issue before a days hunting. Well, unless you have particularly bad ear hair or something....
