I had the same experience this weekend looking for a bathing suit at Bon Ton (ugh!) — O-M-G — I was flabbergasted, shocked and felt utterly defeated. It’s definitely an uphill battle. All this work – a lifetime of working-out, aerobics, yoga, weights, pilates – and what do I have to show for it? A whole lot of bumps and bulges and fleshy flesh! It was so harsh! The only good thing I could take from it was, it’s still early enough in the season to stop eating! Then we went to family with a POOL> Oh lord! A day sweatin’ it out, melting around a pool, simply feeling fat. And the water was too cold for me to go in, so I couldn’t even hide under water. Not to mention the 16 year old and 14 year old with perfect bodies. Now that’ sick! I’m sick! How could I have let this patriarchal, misogynistic culture-bullshit get to me, get inside me so? Here I am 45, (feminist!) and I’m looking at the 14 and 16 year olds with the “perfect bodies” because that’s what they show on the billboards and in the magazines (not that I read any of those magazines, I don’t)….It’s so sad. Meanwhile, I managed not to eat today, minus breakfast, lunch, and a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries for dinner! As far as Sephora, I’ve discovered the hard way that nothing is a miracle gel. But if you find one that even comes close, PLEASE TELL ME!!! (And if you don’t tell me, I will see it and force it out of you! ).

You know I understand…

Do you remember Stagelight? Purple Passion eyeliner. I think I find myself in Sephora partly so I can gaze at all the bright colors and pretend I’m going to the Palladium Friday night. And to find the perfect primer…

OMG–yes, Kohl was the big thing. I am suddenly flashing back to Madeline Mono brand kohl eyeliner–purchased at Gimbel’s East, along with a big ol’ Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker that you hung around your neck.

I so remember the eyeliner inside the lower part of the eye! I myself was very fond of the blue (deep sparkly blue) kohl eyeliner. Boy did I feel ready to party with that on with a vintage cocktail dress, colored tights and big geometric earrings. LOL!

Nuh-uh, we’re not playing this game, she who is much younger than I. Talk to me in a decade or so, baby face.

First of all, nuh-uh with the scary I’m-getting-old thing. Please. I see you.

Second of all, yes to the disoriented, vulnerable state. Hilarious. I know that well.

Sephora–you have to know exactly what you want going in, or you’re in trouble. Esp. if vulnerable.
