she said her feelings were "too powerful for words" and instead did an interpretive dance with a six-foot rainbow parrot puppet to express her loss.

Wow. I would find this and the animated face tribute to be OTT in fiction or a movie.

And yet...humans not bound by the mere restraints of plausibility.

Sephora's waterproof might be ideal for you and it's only $12.

Or a sampler.

Personally I like DiorShow and their waterproof is my next mascara because my eyes are the smudging queens.

I have no eyelash solution. I have very puffy eyelids and no mascara ever really worked for me because I rub my eyes too much. I did have them dyed once when a makeup person in my dermatologist's office wanted to practice. That was really effective since it turned my blond lashes dark. I'd do it again if I wasn't so lazy about such things.

I was beating myself up for being jugdey about it last night, thinking maybe people think a Morgan funeral is weird what with the laughing and fish fry after.

Growing up with Irish funerals leaves me convinced that laughter and drinking are the best plan.

I came here for an argument!

Sorry, this is abuse!

Cass is me. Love DiorShow waterproof.

If someone had decided to make it a double funeral, no jury would ever convict.

I've tried to use an eyelash curler, but my eyelashes are not only thin and paler than my hair, but also very short. I too have very oily eyelids, which means that no waterproof mascara works for me because they're designed to be taken off with oil-based products. They do look better dyed, but eyelash dyeing is outrageously expensive considering that it takes five minutes. Once upon a time, before the FDA banned it, you could get eyelash dye over the counter, which was great. I'd argue that if I never blinded myself with it, it can't be too dangerous, considering that I'm a one-person product hazard lab.

For you, Blinc's Kiss Me. It only comes off with both pressure and warm water combined.

The only time I ever had it come off unexpectedly on me was when I was cleaning my house during an allergy attack and heat wave. So there was a lot of water (sneeze tears and crazy sweating) and pressure (sneezing and rubbing my eyes) there.

Erin, is there a specific Almay mascara that you like?

I'll assume this was for me...

Near as I can tell from their website, this is the one I've been using: [link]

OMG funeral weirdness. Too much. I'm actually a little nauseous and glad I wasn't there to freak out and smack someone with the Clue-By-4 she so desperately deserves.

I've seen a death notice with a cheesecake style photo of the decedent. I thought that was in especially poor taste because the problem had been breast cancer and she'd delayed and delayed treatment, worrying about her looks...

What Shir said: *made* my day.

DJ, your funeral experience sounds horrific. Yes, I'll be judgey, no problem! I thought *I'd* been to some bad ones, geez. There's eccentric and there's insane.

I have yet to find the perfect mascara. I tried the Blinc and found it weirdly weird. Maybe I'll give it another try.
