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
