Red lipstick is a must
A few weeks ago when the ladies and I were having our 'best-lipstick-ever' conversation, a couple of my male readers remarked how interesting that conversation was. In response to Pete's comment I mentioned something along the lines of how important lipstick is to a girl's life. I got reminded of that conversation earlier tonight. It's that time of the month, you know, and I was curled up in bed wiping tears off my eyes and trying to figure out what could I possibly do to make the pain go away. When my PMS-pills finally started to kick in, I somehow managed to peel myself off the bed, smacked on some red lipstick and took pictures. I have no idea why, but glamming things up always seems to take away at least some of the pain. Can you tell that about 30 minutes before this picture was taken, I couldn't even talk?!
I have no logical explanation why putting on a little bit of make-up always makes me feel a little better. I know that other girls do that too. I've been present at way too many conversations that go something like:
"How are you?"
"Not so well."
"Well. That's ok, because you look fabulous!"
I don't think it always helps, but it's definitely one of those little tricks that your mom teaches you when you're little. Do guys do that?! And, regardless of whether you're male or female, do the women you know do that? Does looking "pretty", whatever that means in your book, make you feel better?

You do look very mysterious and glamorous in that picture.
Do I look drugged? Because I am ;)
Hehe, maybe that's it. ;)

petya, you have made me a believer in red lipstick. It´s gorgeous.
When I saw your picture...
I thought to myself:
"Wow, if Lenny was a woman, he would look like Petya!"

Right? ;)
sally! i saw you're enjoying the trip! i'm so happy you and your mom are having fun!
niki, actually, i was lenny kravitz last halloween. i should dig out some photos. hehe
yup. most of the girls i know put on makeup when they feel bad. i mean just stand in front of the mirror, put some make up, watch themselves and then take it off.
for now i can't recall of anything similar from my male point of view. i sometimes practice shopping therapy, buying myself some clothes...but that isn't very...manly...is it? :)
I'm sorry, but nothing in my life experience allows me to relate to that entry.
Clearly, I know nothing of womanly pains. But when I'm sick I don't really have to urge to aesthetically revise myself. I just want to watch 80s movies and have matzo ball soup.
well, that's precisely the question. why do women feel that if they "aesthetically revise" themselves, they would feel better? i always thought that you did that to take your mind off things...i don't know.
