10. Same here -
I never had nice nails, now I get the French Manicure and my nails look great. It's an amazing pick me up. Someday, I may even get a pedicure.

5. I am a girl, I don't wear makeup, do my nails, or get my hair done
I can't think of anything vain I do besides wear a shirt that says "Fat Free".

I'm just naturally hot I guess.

8. ok....I am bad
Working out...stopping at nothing to get that 6-pack. I like to dress well and be well groomed. I like to be seen with exceptionally attractive women - my main insecurity and I am not dropping it anytime soon :)

I do tend to tell people publicly that working out is for health reasons. Of course this is partly true, but it would be a lie if I said it had nothing to do with vanity. A big lie!

As I have several regimens that I've always thought of as a way of life... don't rain on my parade.

14. I wear a hat to cover my balding head.
Actually, I don't do it just for vanity. During the winter, wearing a hat keeps most of my body heat from escaping. And in the summer, it protects my head from sunburn. But I first started wearing a hat because I was tired of all those stupid, lame-ass bald jokes.
