Fugly Days

I like that word: fugly. Slang for f*cking ugly & it's downright derogratory but also ironically cute. But I'd like to modify it a bit to something more apt for days a woman just doesn't feel so hot. I think it stands better for Fat & Ugly.

Don't we all have those days? You wake up & you just don't feel good about yourself. Blame it on the weekend pigout. Or sheer laziness. Or even your genes.

These are days your hair refuses to cooperate. You have a huge zit right in the middle of your face. Your skin is patchy. Your thighs feel double their size & your stomach protudes all the more conspicously.

You feel like hiding under your "fat clothes". Black preferrably that reflects your mood & hides those unwanted bulges. You tie your hair in a marmy bun or keep it under a cap. Both of which just spell "bad hair day" . Then you layer on serums, beauty potions, concealer & foundation to hide all your skin's flaws --torn between fear of looking like a kabuki doll & exposing the worst zit of the century.

Days like these just make me want to crawl back in bed & hide under the sheets.
