smonster, you absolutely deserve better.

ita !, can you deal with scented lipsticks? I have a barely-used tube of Chanel Rouge Noir that is probably the color you want. But Chanel lipsticks are rose-scented.

Dear Chanel Cosmetics, Rouge Noir is not, I repeat, NOT the same color as Vamp. Why did you discontinue Vamp? WHYYYYYYYY? Vamp was perfect. Rouge Noir does not have a cherry undertone, which makes it imperfect for me.

Related funny - B texted our friend H last night (he crashed in her hotel room) just "Chickie Wah Wah." Which she assumed was some kind of euphemism for having sex. It's actually a music club [link] (caution, music autoplays). I told her, "I think you're thinking of Bom Chicka Wah Wah."

We went to a play tonight (Clybourne Park) which was amazing, and then to the Melting Pot for dinner, which was also amazing.

There are times when I wonder if we should do a lipstick swap box, much like the nail polish swap box. Because my goodness, do I have many lipsticks that are not the right shade for me. And they're super-easy to clean/disinfect before mailing off.

(Does anyone have a tube of Chanel Vamp they don't want? Nah, didn't think so.)

I don't know, smonster. That might achieve what I was trying to get at with the peach, or it might make me look like I'm dead. We kinda gave up in the store. If you don't want it and no one else does, I'd love to experiment with it, though.

Homegirl is an excellent colour. It's so dark and rich. I wasn't expecting to find a good purple, really, and had crossed it off my list, and then I ended up with two different ones.

eta: Thanks, Jilli! But it probably wouldn't work well for me, sadly.

I saw that earlier this year, and, yeah, great play.

I saw a play by a friend of mine last night, How to Love, and then on the BART ride home I looked at all the couples returning from Saturday night activities and wondered what was wrong with me that I don't have that.

Right there with you. I just clicked over to fb and another friend is engaged. I'm happy for her, but it made me feel even lonelier.

I was just thinking that!

While I'm generally content in my singletude, there are still times when I wonder the same thing.

Yep. One just got married.
