Steve,

Don't sweat it too much.  It is usually just a phase - one
that all women go through.  Just like the "step phase" is
one just about everyone goes through.  For women, it is
quite often her first way of learning how to express
herself.  Yes, they can be excessive, but eventually, most
women get over it.  But it is important for the woman to
try and express herself.  (Just hope she picks a good role
model).

In a private email someone made a nice analogy about
something else that applies here.  One can compare a woman
doing ornaments to a teenage girl who is putting on makeup
for the first time.  Initially, she may not get it right,
but with time and practice, she will blossom.
