A Lesson Learned

If you know me, you know that I apply makeup nine hundred times a day. Makeup is my favorite subject in school. Me + Makeup is the backdrop to this story...

It was one of me and my boyfriend's first dates.. maybe our 4th or 5th date and we went out to the movies. We saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall, opening night (which I just googled out of curiosity. It was April 18th, 2008) at the Arclight in Hollywood.
It was nearing the end of the movie when I reached to get my makeup bag out of my purse. I had to freshen my lipstick, so that when the movie finished and the lights go on, Poof! I am magically beautiful and my lips are pink and glossy (and yes my lips are this naturally shiny and beautiful all the time)!!

So in the dark, I take out and apply what I think is my Trish McEvoy lip pencil. Sneak it back in my purse. Pheww. No one saw. I'm magically beautiful again. The movie ends. Credit role. Lights.

A nervous look and laughter: "What the fuck Lex!", he says. My lips are smeared with black. I put black eyeliner on my lips.

I try rubbing it off with my hand which only makes it worse and now my entire mouth area is grey. My boyfriend is laughing uncontrollably. I am mortified. Not only do I look dirty, but my cover is blown as I later explain that I was putting makeup on in the movie. Deep heavy sigh.

I can't believe we actually ended up together!

Note to self: ALL OF THE ABOVE
