I just finished watching the Bourne Identity (a very good movie, considering it's indeed a Hollywood movie) with Doug Liman's comment track. Doug was giving credit on multiple occasions to the guys and gals doing the makeup, hair, wardrobe and similar stuff and emphasizing how difficult it is to achieve a natural yet good and stylish look and avoid the shallow and phony stuff seen in many poorer movies.
This led me to do some introspection and wonder how much time and effort I (or any other person, for that matter) use at a daily level for all things related to my vanity. And where exactly does the line between vanity and hygiene exactly reside. Ok, washing your hair every once in a while goes to hygiene, but styling your hair a couple of hours a day is just vanity. But the borderline is difficult. For example, at what point does shopping for clothes cross over to vanity? And overall, how much effort do we actually put into trying to create a perfect public persona for ourselves while still striving to have our personal look appear as natural and as easily maintainable as possible.
