I used to think Mercedes was a weird name for a girl. That was before I found out the car company was named after a girl.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've friends with three daughters, all of whom have attributes as their middle names: Katherine Faith, Elizabeth Grace. The third daughter was adopted from China, and retains her birth name, so Emily (Chinese name) Hope. I thought Hope was an appropriate choice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In I can't tell if this is inappropriate or not news: MAC Liquidlast eyeliner? Will last through the apocalypse. I am hoping that L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in the waterproof formula is as sturdy.

I field-tested Urban Decay's 24/7 liner under much the same circumstances and had the same results.
My porn/drag/stripper name of choice is Baba Ganouche.

I can't get any make-up to last on my face. Not sure why...it all seems to migrate of its own accord.
Last night though, I had to give props to the two-step mascara I use. It doesn't smear when I go to wash it off. It sort of falls off in chunks, which sounds bad but is infinitely more convenient than the smeary type.

Yup, and she had an AWESOME porn name! (Hey, if ita can use a Middle Eastern food, I can use Trixie Belden's best friend.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Still, when you consider I was nearly named Greta instead, I think my name worked out just fine.
You actually look... not entirely unlike the one Greta I've ever met, so when I read that I instantly thought, Oh, yes, of course she could have been a Greta!
I mean, apologies if you really hate it and think it's obviously completely wrong for you, but the Greta I knew was smart, funny, warm and creative and had eyes and a smile very much like yours, so all my associations with the name are about as positive as positive could be.
