something fun for the family room*giggle* i love dictionary.com's "word of the day" email and found october the 8th's entry very relevant.
titivate \TIT-uh-vayt\ , transitive and intransitive verb:
1. To make decorative additions to; spruce.
intransitive verb:
1. To make oneself smart or spruce.
It's easy to laugh at a book in which the heroine's husband says to her, "You look beautiful," and then adds, "So stop titivating yourself."
-- Joyce Cohen, review of To Be the Best, by Barbara Taylor Bradford, New York Times, July 31, 1988
