Funky Fashionista Poem by Paula Glynn

Luscious Lipstick

Her lipstick a calling card
Boyfriends wiping away
Any trace she'd been there
Her deep fuchsia lipstick
Making many people stare
In both admiration
And a touch of envy
Her feminine charms
Pushing away those who mean her harm
For she a woman of the times
She doesn't play mind games
She doesn't live in ignorance and isn't blind
Her romances creating and giving her excitement
Wearing her rich and vibrant luscious lipstick
On adult nights out
Knowing the men will always know her name
Wearing light pink lipstick in the daytime
Loving light pink or a touch of nude
Her makeup forever up-to-date
And sometimes understated
For makeup and lipstick colour her face
Even though boyfriends wipe off her fuchsia lipstick
From their mouths, trying to remove all trace
She'd been there, hating the stain of her lipstick
But like people she knows
Lipstick is meant to attract attention
A colourful personality that always shows
And people will always love looking at her face.

Funky High-Heels

A woman with a vast wardrobe
Full of rainbow funky high heels
From sharp stilettos to easy-to-walk-in wedges
Pumps and comfortable summer sandals
Heeled boots and court shoes in black
And every other type of shoe
For she is 100% pure female
And loves funky high heels
Showing off the sexy line of her leg
Knowing she knows how to make men beg
With her head held high walking down the street
In the clack-clack of those Barbie high heels
Her look feminine and gorgeous
And keeping strongly steady
With every step that keeps her ready
For a day out and evening out
Having the time of her life
Knowing she'll never need to be a man
To stay on top of the game and be a figurehead
For she is all woman who takes life in her stead
But still loves wonderful and vibrant men as much as she can
For being a woman, men she does understand.

Fresh Manicures

Loving her nails from 11 years old
Starting with violet purple nail polish
Going onto Constance Carroll summer pink
And Avon nail polishes from her mother's catalogue
Learning to cut and file down her nails
Learning to clean her nails regularly
With foaming soap and a soft nail brush
Sometimes having her nails done at the salon
Sometimes doing her own press-on nails
For manicures are the sign of vanity
And an important and vital vanity too
Going from a whole rainbow of colours
From black, deep purple, pinks, reds and blues
Loving looking good and loving being female
For she is a funky fashionista
She reads Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire
Magazines she does love and have a passion for
Magazines she reads page-after-page
Loving the innovative fashion photography
Beauty pages she does not ignore
And within those powerful pages
Comes the magic and excitement of fashion:
It comes self-expression and rainbow colour
Creativity and vanity and fun
For everyone all over the globe when walking in the sun
And she treasures her looks and personal fashion sense
For she is creative, rightfully vain and always fun.
