A dream within a dream...

As we sat down last night I groaned inwardly as I remembered that this film had Leo DiCaprio in it...just as the last film we went to the pictures to see had, and that proved to be two hours of utter utter boredom....but as it turned out last nights film was really really good and although my poor sister was completely bewildered (does'nt take a lot actually to do that to her and this film was not a good choice for her but there you go...) I thoroughly enjoyed it. Most 'action' films are not my sort of thing really, but as a 'lucid dreamer' myself this really hit the spot and a good time was had by one and nearly all.....

Yesterday in the make up department of a large store I was looking for a new lipstick. Not having been blessed with large luscious lips I cannot usually wear more than a slick of tinted lip balm at most, but have wanted a lipstick for some time.  The young girl who eventually deigned to serve me looked as bored as it is possible to be, and after I enquired about the price of two that I had picked out, both tan/nude but with just a hint of colour she took one, looked at it and said 'oh yeah...forks...that is a good one..'.

I did'nt buy it but may go back to get it at another store, who knows how devil-may-care I might feel
later in the week...

The shade in question? Faux.

Did you not read my guide to personal grooming???? avoid girls in make up shops, look for a grown up woman.

I think we should have make up counters suitable for 20 year old girls staffed by 20 year olds, 30 for 30, 40 for 40 50 for 50 etc xx

That was a bit of a forks pass for a make-up girl, wasn't it? ;-)

Oh "Faux"! I wondered what she was on about - how funny. I have a complete aversion to perfume/makeup counters even when I worked for John Lewis and knew all the girls behind the counters.

Are you sure she didn't mean 'fox' and thus casting admiring glances at your ability to appeal to gentlemen and not boys?

I thought it was an allusion to the town in the USA where the Twilight books were set, where it rains all the time.....Forks?....sorry, that was a bit surreal but I just went to see the film and it was on my mind. As for lipsticks, have a look at my collection on my blog and see if you like any of those!! Most shades under the sun to suit all moods and ages!!

Thanks for comments one and all...but I'm still using the tinted lip balm although I may brave the MAC shop soon.....

So..........

I am only posting this because I promised myself I would if I ever got to 10 years of blogging. A birthday post. So.......... My beloved ...
