Full make-up, all the time. No exceptions. I like it, the husband likes it, and I don’t get too many complaints from the outside world. My sister told me I should wear less mascara, but I have puny lashes, so that is out of the question. My sister and I are 40 and 43 respectively, and WE PLAYED MAKE-UP AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER. It was a complete blast, and my father and husband were utterly disgusted that we could be so shallow. Tuff shit. We had fun.

## No matter how many times I type this reply differently it sounds shallow… Just some advice for those who find make up a chore, the more expensive it is the better, it really does make a difference.

Nope, Cant, no dog–just two Spinster-Lady cats. I was issued them by the Spinster Committee when I turned 30 and was still unmarried.
