How wise was your high school friend?  I come from a family of tom-boy women and I grew up ashamed of my girly side.  But the truth is that being "girly" is when I feel the most confident.  Now I live in a city with very few "girly" girls (at least in my neighborhood) and I admit I have fallen into a lumber jack rut.  After reading this I may be inspired to blow the dust off of my "pretty" side and give it a whirl.
