Aw, I think that's sweet.

I once told my T that I had awful trouble as a teen trying to get my make-up right, because I didn't have my mum's input or guidance, no older sister to learn from... I told her what a bother I had trying to find the right shade, things like that. My T looked at me and said something about the services they offer at the make-up counters in the department stores. Ha, right. Those flawless-looking make-up-counter girls STILL intimidate me and make me feel ugly! I feel like she missed the point I was actually trying to make.

I would say my T is quite attractive and stylish, but she's usually in her 'work' clothes - so, nicely/smartly dressed, but understated - and she doesn't tend to wear much makeup, either.

I think I would only find what T was wearing to be distracting if it seemed incongruous with her 'image'..

There was one week I did find her hair 'style' to be quite distracting, at first...! She answered the door pointing at her head and apologising for being 'unprepared' - I gather she'd just taken her rollers out, and hadn't had time to tease the curls, or do whatever it is one does when one takes ones rollers out... Well. She looked completely batty. Her hair springing out this way and that. Talk about shattering illusions! Very human. Endearing. Bless her, she sat there and conducted the whole session with her hair like that, just like usual, like nothing was amiss... I wondered if there was any better way to model having good confidence and self esteem? One one my favourite therapy memories, T's batty hair day.
