I want to get off! Please, for the love of God, let me get out the fast lane! Taking stock on my way to work the other day I realised that this is not where I want to be in life. I do not want to blend into a faceless, suited crowd with identical hairstyles, make-up looks and sensible shoes. I desperately want to let the glamourpuss that resides inside of me, out!
My manager, having deemed that seamed stockings, red lipstick, black eyeliner and heels over 3 inches, were unsuitable for the workplace has since banned me from wearing them with the line "Why can't you look normal?". I nearly quit on the spot. Needless to say that, 2 months in, I'm looking for another job, I can't stand to be suffocated and be told that who I am is wrong. My mother told me not to be so stupid and just deal with it, as I pointed out to her, I'm far too young to settle for second best and nor should I feel like I have to.

I am disgusted, how can they ban makeup ? What does everyone else wear? Shame on them.
It's not that they've banned make-up as such, it's that my manager deems my make-up as looking unprofessional and suggested that I "tone it down a bit". Personally I didn't see what the problem was, a lot of customers complimented me on my look, saying that it brightened up the place a bit.
