Fashion Statement or How To Instructions?
I often wondered how new fashions get started. You know, the spiked graple coloured hair, the heavy metal body parts and so on.
I think I may have the answer. I heard a story about a lady that had to go to a place of business in a bit of a hurry. You know how women are, they have to be just so, and glancing in the mirror she thought a little makeup was in order, not much, but just enough to add that tickle of glamour.
So without her glasses, she grabbed the nearest available eye brow applicator and touched up the ‘brows’ a bit. A puff of powder (that’s why they call them powder-puffs) and she was on her way to that place of business.
Standing at the counter, the employees of the establishment were asking her how she enjoyed her recent trip to another country.
She was proud they were interested, and she took great pride in explaining how nice it was to be able to spend the winter far from snow and ice.
The conversation went on for several minutes and then she had to move on to one more stop at a store on the way home.
Upon returning to her residence, she decided to visit her friend who lived close by.
Immediately after opening the door, her friend takes one look at her and says: “What the heck happened to you? You hurt?” “No why?” was the reply.
To make this story fit the one screen size, just let me say that the eyebrow applicator turned out to be a gloss lipstick applicator – bright red! Her eye brows were painted a bright red. The laughter hasn’t stopped yet.
The folks at the business establishments must have really thought she enjoyed her trip. I can imagine the comments on her departure.
I can’t figure out whether this blog should be titled “Fashion Statement,” or “How To… Always Wear Your Glasses When Checking Your Appearance.”
