I wear mostly nude colors with a bit of shimmer. I don't know if I'm outdated, I guess I don't care as I've mostly rejected lipstick since beginning to wear makeup in my early teens. I don't even like the feel of lip gloss, or Chapstick on my lips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-38705906229960388582013-08-16T14:37:37.004-05:002013-08-16T14:37:37.004-05:00Those pictures are awful, by the way.

Our custodial staff was having a hard time scrubbing the imprints off as lipstick is rather impervious to scrubbing and tends to smear. They lady custodians were up in arms. The problem seemed intractable until Mary the Head Custodian Lady came up with the solution. Rather than waiting till the end of the day to clean and scrub the girls restrooms she marched into the downstairs girls room in between periods second and third period when it was crowded with little Madonnas, stuck a scrub brush into a toilet and proceeded to vigorously scrub the mirrors covered with lipstick lip prints in front of the students.
