What does being FAKE mean to you??

Okay, so I've been thinking about this topic as of lately... (to be exact, the past 5 or 6 months), and I want to fully understand the state of mind that some girls go through... I understand that people feel the need to act fake because it would come off as being rude, if they be honest and give their honest opinions...  

I suppose that I have never been the kind of person who believes in being fake.  And I am not talking about girls who highlight their hair, wear fake nails, go to the local tanning salon, etc...etc... But what I do mean by this is about how someone acts towards you and in front of others.  Being fake just reminds me of those 40 something year-olds who work at the Neiman Marcus cosmetics department.  I remember one time when I went to the YSL (Yves St. Laurent cosmetics counter) and this extremely jolly homosexual guy, super hilarious and just jolly like ol St. Nick, was as sweet as he can be, however he put on some of the tackiest things on my face, that I just wanted to jump up and take that blush brush and make him hush!  OOOhh, it was definitely, TACKELICIOUS!  He was only a make up artist, so he doesn't make commission off what he does, however the sales associates do, and they were all lined up to tell me that I looked absolutely gorgeous, but I was thinking in my mind, how the hell do these people get off and tell me I looked gorgeous when I looked like something that you eat that gets puked up from an all night of partying and drinking.... CHILD I looked ALL sorts of messed up... but those fake ladies definitely know how to make you feel special though!  (hence the sarcasm!!)

BUT why would anyone want or need to feel special about fakeness?? OBVIOUSLY there are people out there who must be lonely and feel so uninspired that they have to have people like those ladies at Neiman Marcus, to make them feel special.  These are the ladies who married up and realized that by doing so she made a mistake because she's in a loveless marriage kind of deal.  The ones where she used to be a brunette but found herself becoming blonder and blonder every 6 to 8 weeks because her husband likes the way her hair looks in the sun! haha but does everyone appreciate someone who is fake over someone who is real and straight forward?  The person who is not going to let you walk out somewhere and look a fool?  I, myself, cannot stand someone who is fake but it did seem to me that at one point, I was only surrounded by fake girls... hmm... maybe instead of shopping at Neiman Marcus for my cosmetics, I should just go to Saks instead!  Maybe they'll have "real" sales associates instead of fake ones! lol or maybe, I just did the right thing and stopped hanging out with these fake girls??  

SO what does fake mean to me?  It means that you are the girl who go gets tanned, who gets acrylic nails, who highlights her hair, and THEN claim that she was naturally born that way! haha it's like saying that you weigh 115 lbs when you really weigh like 165!
