Lines...

     

       Saturday afternoon following a brief visit at Stephanies, having collected the usual bale of cat hair on the back of my jacket, we decided to go to Browns for some food and libations. For  Lonsdale Ave. not really being known for it's restaurants, this is a bit of a bright spot, although they need to hire a heating guy figure out the thermostat, it's like an oven in there. 

      Stephanie had the Cowboy Salad (I didn't know cowboys ate salad) and I ordered Szechuan beans for an appetizer and two double vodka and fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice for an  entree. This isn't a restaurant review but everything was "ace" as usual.(just wanted to use" ace").

     After the plates were cleared and we were finishing our drinks Stephanie pulled a fancy looking lipstick vessel from her purse. I had seen it one time before and it is apparently full of collagen (you don't want to know what that's made from) and helps plump up the lips so the radial lip lines aren't so visible. It should also be noted that this product is $50 which seems like a lot for lipstick but go with it 'til it stops workin' for you.  

 ( These aren't Stephanie's lips by the way, hers are fine.)

    I started to wonder what the cause of these lines is and it got me to thinking... and it's just an observation but a good percentage of women seem to walk around looking like they just chugged a whole bottle of ReaLemon...

    The lips are all tightly pursed and the corners of the mouth decidedly downturned... I can usually detect a slight furrow in the brow. This starts in quite young women it seems and can definitely be compounded by sucking back ample amounts of heaters. Apparently the real cause of these lines is lack of hormones as women age. I'm no expert but maybe a bit more smiling might to stretch out those lines and alleviate the the need for $50 lipstick... at least for a while anyway.
