catching up on correspondence

now that my rash and extra seven pounds are gone, it's time to get down to business.

dear spinning instructor,

you are a good teacher, but your giggling comments during class about how your husband tells you you're stupid, or weird, or that you are a freak, or that he's not speaking to you because he has to help with the baby, though meant to show that you have a quirky personality, actually make me quite certain that you should get a divorce.

sincerely,

elizabeth

dear chanel cosmetics,

you have created a new color of lipstick that seems as though it was made specifically for me (sans rash, of course). wow. how did you do that?

dear article i'm working on,

get out of here and don't come back unless it's with decent feedback or an acceptance! and don't let the door hit you on your way out! you big dummy.

what is the shade???

blk: that would be "lotus rouge," an understatedly dramatic red. i live in a fantasy world in which i am french, and this helps me color that world. and while we're on the topic, and since chanel is some pretty 'spensive shit, i highly recommend buying (some) makeup on ebay. very often BNIB (brand new in box), and if you're worried, you can always do what they do with the testers in department stores, scraping or dipping in rubbing alcohol.
