• It’s wild that hundreds of years ago, high society women would wake up to put on makeup. They’d literally never be seen without it. Waking up at crack ass morning, wear makeup, then make breakfast.

    My wife and I went for a walk and she didn’t even wear a bra.

    Life is great.

      There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.

      (Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

        And depending on the era, certainly in England, many high society people didn’t get out of bed until 11am or midday.

      i like the idea that high society women would make breakfast, maybe they’d play at it but the actual breakfast would be made by lower class servants.

      I’m not sure why this comment is so popular. If you travel, you see many countries on the planet where all women wear makeup all the time.
