Just Browsing
No gray hair for me. I’ve taken care of that issue for years. I’m a nice golden brown color, and I’m staying that way for the next ten years at least. But what is up with my EYEBROWS? My eyebrows have always looked like this: They have an okay shape, as long as I do …
I’m a Good Tipper
DEAR HAIRDRESSER: Before you start, I’d like to share with you just a couple of my little “issues”: My face is really round. My eyes are close together. My eyebrows are going gray. I have a short neck, but an extra chin. My lips are too thin. I’m very pale. Except when I’m tan. My …
The History of Lipstick, Chapter 60
Continuing the History of Lipstick, I’ve glossed over (pun intended) Chapters 2-59. Here are a few of the chapters you have missed: Good Color, Bad Taste Tastes Great, Weird Color Moisturizing – Like Chalk Perfumed Enough for Pepe Le Pieu – And Right Under My Nose Cracks Under Pressure Gone in Sixty Seconds A Pink-To-Purple …
The History Of Lipstick, Chapter One
I wore lipstick on Easter Sunday, 1963. I was twelve. In 1963, twelve was young for lipstick. None of my classmates were allowed. Only the grown-up girls. The eighth graders. But that was the point. I had older sisters. I needed to be a teenager long before I was one. My lipstick was pink. “Pink …
Not Quite Old Enough For This
I have accepted the fact that I am just too old for some things: Miniskirts Bikinis Body Glitter Visible bra straps Polka-dot manicures Bare midriffs Thigh high boots Pigtails (which I would never wear anyway) Navel piercing (which I would SO do, if I were twenty-five again) It is with regret that I say goodbye …
Not Quite Old Makeup #3
The biggest event most of us attend in any year is the Wedding. Some years, a few other events are thrown in, like New Year’s Eve dances or class reunions. (Twice I went to the ESPY Awards, but I wouldn’t recommend big award ceremonies…sure it’s fun to take a limo to theatre, and see the …
Not Quite Old Makeup #2
Back to the three levels of Makeup: Wal-Mart Work Wedding I figure I wear Makeup #1 – Walmart makeup – 10 times per year, and Wedding makeup, twice. That means for 353 days out of 365, I wear makeup #2, Work Makeup.. Work makeup is appropriately named. Not only because I wear it to work. …
Not Quite Old Tanning
There’s no doubt about it, tanning ages your skin. Unfortunately, white skin ages YOU. I mean, really, is there anything older than an old lady’s white shin? Perhaps her white thigh, which is why old ladies never reveal anything above the knee. I have white skin. Luckily, I’m not the burn and peel, burn and …
Not Quite Old Lips
Thin lips are aging. This is what I see on TV, magazines, web, and cosmetic ads everywhere. Thin lips are aging; plump lips are youthful. I have thin lips. I have a little mouth with teeny tiny lips. I probably would have been a beauty if I’d been around when Lillian Gish was making silent …
