You'd think so wouldn't you? We can put a man on the moon, but can't put metal in a microwave, or develop a long-lasting, non-drying lipstick.

[The thing about lip pencil as "base" is pretty well-known, I think. I mean, if I know it, it's gotta be well-known.]

Well, I didn't know, but I buy lipstick at Target. Go figure.

Best . . . headline . . . ever.

Since that headline came out (no pun intended), he's been catching an unbelievable amount of shit...

Agree. I also bought the new Stila eyeshadow tube, but haven't tried it out yet. I also like Calvin Klein lip gloss. And some of the lipsticks in Sephora that are always in the rainbow array up front (I think it is just Sephora brand). I like the glossy fruity ones, but not the matte vanilla ones.

Someone recently gave me a Stila compact thing with eyeshadow and blush. I like it.

I am also a huge fan of their vanilla body lotion which complements nicely my perfume.

So we had to adjust for that factor. If she would still be attractive with brown/red/other (!?) hair, then she truly was attractive -- otherwise, she was a candidate for BHS -- Blonde Hair Syndrome.

For example:

Last night I watched a show that she was on and I couldn't figure out why she was supposed to be attractive. Her hair isn't even that nice. And she certainly isn't hot enough to be worth taking all that humiliating crap from her family.

I think the blond thing sometimes cuts the other way. Maybe it is only because I live in Dallas but...* there are many women who go blond because they think they are supposed to despite the fact that they have coloring or hair qualities (e.g. tendency towards brassiness) that makes blond a bad color for them. In the case of these women, I try to picture them with darker hair to determine overall attractiveness despite their blondness. Blond is frankly hard to pull off well unless you truly have natural blond tendencies. Just because you were are toehead at 3, doesn't mean that you should try blond at 25. Particularly if you have a lot of red undertones in your complexion.

My celebrity example (though not a perfect one, because she looks good despite the hair coloring thing) is Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was much more striking as a brunette than she is as a blond.

*I love this lead-in. It works for such a variety of comments.
