So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine. ?
Before you start this week’s Monday Poll, I encourage you to take a few deep breaths, and prepare yourself mentally, because you *have* to pick from among the two scenarios in each of the questions. ? You gotta pick one or the other.
Why?
Because it’s more fun/messed up that way. ?
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Eegh! Both sound equally terrible…but I guess I’d rather have hot, sticky feet than cold, wet feet. That does NOT sound appealing… I’d go with the boots and socks in summer.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave your left eyebrow in its entirety?
I’d pick the 10 miles in the wedding gown. It would be absolute torture, for sure, but I can’t afford to lose my left eyebrow… No way. My left eyebrow is my good brow, and I simply can’t afford to lose it.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
This one’s easy! Boob falling out.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Well, crap! This ones’s hard, because if the drunk tattoo artist messes up my brows, that’s a major focal point all jacked up, but if he/she messes up my liner, I “guess” I could conceal it, maybe, by doing smoky eyes all the time (which I practically do anyway, ha!).
But I can’t even stand the thought of having a tattoo needle anywhere near my lash lines, ugh!
I dunno… I guess I’d take my chances with the liner?
Yeah, I’d go with the eyeliner (nooooooo!).
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Too hard, too hard! Either one would be otherworldly, amaze-balls INCREDIBLE, but since I have to choose…I’d go with Chanel. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Here are the questions to copy/paste.
Remember, you have to pick one scenario or the other, because it’s more messed up fun that way.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
P.P.S.
Have an amazing Monday, my sweet friend!
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter? Socks and boots in the Summer, cold feet are the worst!
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety? Running the 10 miles, because it’s temporary. I’m not much of a runner, so it would be miserable.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky. Boob. Easy. Everyone has them.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner? This is a hard one. Eyebrows I think, I have bangs so I could hide them. I’m freaked out by the idea of anything next to my eyes.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks? Chanel! No question.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
I hate cold.. so would go with wool knee-high socks and boots.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
run the 10 miles..Can’t run to save my life but just can’t; imagine myself with no left eyebrow.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Definitely the boob.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
A hard one but could some how manage with tatto eyeliner.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Chanel
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
I ride horses, so boots in the summer is not new. My socks are usually modern wicking materials, but wool isn’t actually the worst at getting rid of sweat, so that’d work.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
I guess my eyebrow? I don’t think I can run ten miles.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Boob pop out!
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Liner, I think.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
I don’t know either of their formulas that well, but my gut says Chanel.
This has got to be the hardest Monday poll I’ve ever done!
1. Socks and boots in summer. I’ll pair it with the shortest shorts I can find and a crop top. At least, I won’t lose my toes to frostbite.
2. Run the 10 miles. *crying*
3. Boob falling out I guess? I don’t have much boob …but to not realize for 10 minutes? C’mon!
4. Permanent eyebrows. Stay away from my eyeballs!
5. Chanel cuz who doesn’t like a little Coco? 🙂
Happy Monday, Karen!
This IS a messed up poll, but yes, fun.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
I loathe hot feet, so flip flops/bare feet in the cold winter. I think medically it’s more risky (frost bite) but…
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
Shave off my left eyebrow. I’ll get bangs to cover my left eye til it grows back.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Boob out! At least with this scenario, you’re not aware of it for 10 minutes. With poop, you know it’s happening.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Goodness! I’d have to say eyebrows, because what if he pokes my eyes and blind me?
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Chanel lipsticks. They’re timeless and a makeup brand I aspired to when I was 11, so…
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
My, oh My, they both sound pretty bad hehe! Let’s go with more heat, so socks in the summer.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
The first!!
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Sigh… The boob thing. Might give me th job haha!
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Eyebrows.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
That’s such a good dilemma to have! Chanel for me please. X
1.easy, the boots, did that in the Air Force. That one isn’t that bad.
2. I’m doing the 10. I’m finally getting my brows grown out where I want them. No way am I shaving them. I have a walker, like I won’t coast down hill.
3. Boob. No one wants poop. Ever. Poop is never
The answer.
4. Liner, because concealer will work better. But I’m not signing up for either.
5. Chanel. Timeless. I don’t buy the other brand.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flops and bare feet during the coldest winter?
I thought immediately about being able to survive with only wool knee-high socks, boots and Daisy Duke’s but I think it’s easier to use flip-flops made with the materials of the UGG boots and with a blanket as a long skirt.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
I imagine the gown doesn’t include high heels so if I can use sneakers I don’t mind running while wearing it. My brows are a no go.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Since I have man boobs, I don’t have problems with them falling out.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
I know I have to choose but IRL I won’t do neither because my physician told me about the risks of damaging a face nerve with these procedures so they’re risky AF.
But since it’s a play I think eyeliner is easier to disguise if I select an earthy color and a skinny line.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
I think Chanel have more finishes and styles so I’ll go with Chanel, if you can add some blushes I don’t mind.
Guess who is on staycation? Yes, me I have a week off because of Easter. Have a nice week Karen and tell me if you got my mail.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
My feet are super cute and a good pedi goes with anything – I am totally rocking flops in winter! (Besides, it doesn’t snow in Florida)
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
You lost me at the 10 miles haha.. Shave it off , call me “Left eye”, and I’ll do a killer TLC impersonation.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Boy, what the heck am I wearing that my boob is so easily exposed? Since it sounds like I’m applying at a strip club, I think I’d leave the boob out. It might boost my chances.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Well, since I am down one eyebrow from question 2, let’s roll the dice and get some eyeliner. How bad could it be? 😉
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Chanel… Chanel… Oh please, how do I make this one come true??
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Considering I live in Canada and would likely lose my feet due to frostbite, I’m going to say socks and boots during summer. LOL. It would be gross but it’s better than losing limbs!
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
I can’t run 10 miles… but I choose 10 miles. My brows are way too important to me. They are THEE most important thing in my make-up routine.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
The boob! Of course! Omg. I mean, still mortifying but if you pooped you’d have to leave the interview entirely. At least with the boob you could finish the interview… and maybe it would help get you hired. Hahaha. (I kid, I kid.)
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Tattoo eyeliner because at least I could cover that up with concealer. And as stated above, my brows are the most important thing on my face. I just hope choosing the eyeliner doesn’t mean I’ll loose an eye…
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Chanel. 🙂 I’m not sure I support TF, to be honest. So, so overpriced.
This is ebil ?. But ok, i admit it’s much more fun ?.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
My point of concern is frostbites. It could be well below freezing point over here. So I’d have the smelly sweaty feet in summer instead (yuck!)
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
Definitely running in wedding gown. I think that will be quite funny … maybe I shall do it next time on the 10K race ?.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Boob fall out! Easier to recover.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Oh gawd! I can’t trust a drunk tattoo artist going near my eyes! I’ve to chance the eyebrows. And fingers crossed I can still get it fixed after.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
I’ve never tried Tom Ford lipsticks, but given the price point, I’ll pick Tom Ford ones ? (Can I resell them?)
. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter? i will take the winter socks and boots. I was in hs and I wore tims (cause I am hard like that to california and mexico on a family trip with regular socks . Oh and I was dressed in all black.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety? Entirety like the rest of my life or just the entire brow until it grows back. I take brow because people work magic with makeup .
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky. boob. I think chest and decolletage is pretty awesome.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner? why cant i just shave off both eyebrows and walk around with glue on top. neither. this is too much torture.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks? tom ford. for some reason , he makes me think of something sexy.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Oh, that’s rough. Um, probably flip flops and bare feet cause I’m usually indoors?
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
The brow probably!
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
These are the worst questions! Um, boob!
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
brows
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Tom Ford! The last few I’ve gotten have been magical.
Oh my. For the most part, this is too fun/funny.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Easy. Flip flops/bare feet. I do it anyway! I lived in Cali for 10 years and got used to wearing sandals all the time. Now I do it everywhere – New England, the Midwest, you name it. Snow and all. Just can’t stand having my feet confined!! It’s not so bad if you’re just wearing your houseshoes out to the car, then end up at the grocery store, and whoops… just wore my flip flops all day! I even chased my dog around in the snow for 20 minutes in bare feet and flip flops a few months ago, because he got away and I had to, and it wasn’t so bad. As long as my core is warm, I’m good!
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
If my left eyebrow grew back in a month or two just fine, no question the eyebrow. If it never looked right again, the wedding dress 10-miler! I do love my left eyebrow.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
#2 (haha). It would be possible to sit still, not move, and then immediately excuse yourself to the ladies room.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Which could be removed more easily later? Which would keep the needle farthest from my eyes?? Probably the eyebrows.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Chanel. Now that’s one worth thinking about all afternoon!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
1) Knee high socks and boots. I almost never wear open toed shoes during the summer anyway.
2) Shave off my left eyebrow. I’ll just draw it back on.
3) Have my boob fall out. I have great boobs. Let the world enjoy them. Lol.
4) Eyebrows. They’re easier to cover.
5) Tom Ford. I was never really wowed by Chanel lip products.
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Probably the socks! That sounds like some wacky thing I probably already do at least sometimes.
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
Shave. I can’t run to save my life, not even a 1/8 of a mile. I’d never get it done. I think I’d die in the process, but I know my eyebrow would grow back and I can just draw it on until then. Besides, my left eyebrow is the naughty one who should be punished.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Oh my gosh, that’s hard. Probably boob.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Oh God this is hard. Probably eyebrows because the idea of a SOBER person wielding a needle too close to my eyebrows is giving me the willies. I mean the eyebrows might look terrible but at least I wouldn’t lose an eyeball.
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
Tom Ford all the way! I love the formulas and the packaging so much. This one was a no-brainer
Omg, hardest Monday Poll ever! ??
1. Would you rather have to wear wool knee-high socks and boots every day during the hottest summer ever, or wear flip-flips and bare feet during the coldest winter?
Are we talking about those weather extremes in the cities where we currently live? If so, flip flops in the coldest winter, in Taiwan, which is not that cold. Socks would be unbearable in the summertime here. Seriously, I’d probably have a heat
stroke. ?
2. Would you rather run 10 miles wearing an itchy, puffy wedding gown (And you can’t stop to take any breaks. You have to run the entire time, so no walking, crawling or hitching a ride with Jake Gyllenhaal on his gorgeous, majestic horse.), or shave off your left eyebrow in its entirety?
I’d do the running. It would take me forever, but it’ll still end faster than waiting for my eyebrow to grow back.
3. You’re in the middle of a group interview for your dream job. Would you rather accidentally poop in your pants, or have your boob fall out (and you don’t realize it for 10 minutes)? Oh, and the poop is stinky.
Definitely the boob fallout.
4. Would you rather have a completely drunk tattoo artist give you permanent eyebrows, or give you tattoo eyeliner?
Ah! Omg, brows, I guess. I do not want a needle near my eyeballs!
5. Would you rather receive a gift of 100 brand new Chanel lipsticks, or 100 brand new Tom Ford lipsticks?
I’ve haven’t tried either, but I’d go for Tom Ford. I’ve been wanting to try them for a long time.
