One thing I do not understand?

One thing I don't understand are those who ride with long fingernails and lots of makeup on their face. I have nothing against it but I don't understand why some people have a huge need to dress up when they are out with their horses. I met one time a rider with long fake blonde hair, pink long nails and 4 layers of makeup. She was sweet enough but why look like that when you just have to ride? I'd rather just be myself completely natural. It's my sanctuary where I can just be myself completely from head to toe.
Just another thought; do they never break their nails? I have a hard enough time not breaking mine constantly and they are short? Hmm I guess I'm not girly enough, I just don't understand it :-D?
