The other night I walked home in the wind and rain with a hot Chinese takeaway. On the way I fell to wondering how much nicer it might be if someone was cooking me dinner for when I got in. I wondered why being lonely is so hard to admit out loud. But then I thought how I will never contort my looks for someone else again. I hope there’s someone fantastical and true out there for me, somewhere.
In the meantime I’ll just continue to be myself, eating a Chinese takeaway, doing whatever I fancy, including smothering my lips in cosmic glosses that’ll put off the intimidated and only the dedicated would feel brave enough to kiss, because it’s sticky, shining and potentially messy. This week I’m choosing bubblegum-pink tones of Mac’s Lipglass in Good Juju Sunrise Pink. Because it’s delicious.
