Neil Diamond. I can't quite bring myself to listen to a whole cd, but I like certain songs. Yesterday I got Holly Holy stuck in my head as I tried to track down a copy of Hot August Night in the adult A/V section. I found it today under New Zealand music. Go figure.
Cleolinda was talking about make-up and her appearance and it got me to thinking about when I was at Varsity and spent time on my appearance in the morning. I'd put on various colours of eye-liner and mascara. (No lipstick because I always eat it all off.) I'd try and make my hair do something interesting. I'd put cute little slides in my hair, or clips shaped like flowers, or animals or whatever.
Working full time makes me tired and I like to stay in bed in the morning as long as I can and still get to work on time. I can't be bothered with make-up anymore.
I never used foundation if I could avoid it because I don't like the way it feels caked on. (Although Giffy's liquid Napolean stuff felt like wearing nothing at all...) I also find it hard to not touch my face so wearing something that I'm going to smear off is a bad plan.
Every so often I buy a nice shade of lipstick if it's on sale, and I drool at the pretty colours of eyeshadow but I know the only time I'm going to use it is at a wedding or a party and I don't go to very many that are non-casual enough to warrant it. Plus, if I do wear lipstick, I'll forget to reapply and then I have a weird partially faded look that does nothing for anyone.
Acid flashback: wore bright red lipstick and bright red dress to friend's 21st, got drunk on bubbly and kissed some equally tipsy girlfriends...red lipstick on chin when next checked mirror...
The biggest problem I have with lipstick is not feeling like a clown after putting it on. This is especially a problem with red.
