Cat Got Your Eye?

I’m no make-up heathen, in fact I don’t really know how to put it on. My mid-western mother never really showed me. Much to her credit though, she was freaking gorgeous anyway and didn’t really need it. I’d like to think the same of myself but honestly, I never attempted it because I don’t want to write a check my face can’t cash in the morning.

My “make-up” routine consists of Benefit Lip Stain and mascara. I hate the gooey feel of red lipstick though I LOVE, love, love, the vampy retro look with a smokey eye.

If I looked like that I’d probably die, but anyway, recently, some cat-eye notion has been creeping into the back of my mind. Leading to a committed purchase because of this Lucky magazine page.

And the recent death of miss authentilicious Amy Winehouse. Cuz she “is whut she is yo”! That said, what runs deep is true, so I HAD to try it!

Even my “girl crush” Angelina Jolie does it, so I guess it’s “a yes for me” Miss Osborne .

So I gotz my hands on some Revlon Liquid Liner only to make a damn mess of myself. Reminds me of the time my grandmother caught me in the closet with her make-up. Presumably, I said to her before she could scream “Don’t say nutzen”. There is a photo of me smeared with lipstick to prove it! No wonder I have resisted all these years, eh?

So anyway, girlfriends, if yall wanna come over here and teach me how to be a girl I’m all ears, lips, and eyes. Seriously, I need HELP!
