Ah. I know nothing about lipstick, since I never wear makeup.

It's worth a shot. Gary thinks women shouldn't wear red lipstick.
I don't think he's ever said that men shouldn't.

During winter I alternate between Chapstick and Blistex during the day
and Bag Balm at night, prevents chapping. I like that my wife wears
lipstick, different colors and even bright red, depending on what
outfit she wears. Bright red lipstick looks good with black undies,
also with blue jeans. She wears colors for the holidays, orange and
black for Halloween, Kelly green on St. Paddy's day. She also has
many earings, different ones on different holidays.

In that case, he should stay at least 20 feet *downwind* of you, not
upwind. Just sayin...

Wearing bright red lipstick causes the "Cheshire Cat" syndrome.
Attention is immediately drawn to the mouth and the woman fades out,
leaving only smiling lips and teeth.

You forget that I worked there one summer. Every 2-3 days we got crates
of fresh (not frozen) whole chickens. It was my job to cut each one into
9 pieces.

Never once was there a sore or skin blemish. You just read that
somewhere and believed it.

When I first turned on the recent Superbowl, I saw a packed stadium full
of people. Are you ppl nuts? But then whenever a close up of the crowd
in bleachers, you could see that most there were just life-size
cardboard cutouts of people. lol Just to make the stadium appear packed.

Turns out that 60% of the crowd was fake cardboard cutouts in the seats.
Then they said that for $100 and a picture, they would make a cardboard
cutout of you too and place it on a seat. LOL

As Trump would have said.... "Fake crowd"

Gary views women the way a 10 year old does. His ex is probably still
running.

They were probably already treated with bleach. The drones who buy

Trump wouldn't call that a fake crowd, because it WAS a fake crowd.

It was odd to see so many people wearing masks when they were distanced,
but then at the end when the social distancing went out the window and
they were hugging and shaking hands and the masks were pulled down.

Had I known that I had that option, I would have paid a hundred bucks,
provided they took a picture of the fake me, recognizable in the fake crowd,
and sent it to me. The photo, framed, would be a piece of history and a
family heirloom at a reasonable price.

Obviously Gary hasn't gotten laid in 40 years. I'm almost 80 and I
get laid at least twice a week. Bright red lipstick does it.

Not at all. You lose that bet. You draw many wild conclusions just
because I don't think lots of makeup looks good on women. I think they
look just fine without all that. A little can be ok but too often, it's
overdone.

Many little girls are taught at a very young age to want makeup. They
watch their moms put it on and they want to copy and be grown up too.

Another big milestone is to get their first "training bra" even though
they are still flat-chested and don't need one at all. It makes them
feel very grown up.

They're also dying to get pierced ears and dangle those from their ears.

The makeup industry is HUGE and spends lots of advertising dollars to
convince women that their face needs help and to buy more and more
products. Let's not forget perfume either. ;(

Does she excite you as much as Peg does, Al Bundy?

Not at all. You lose that bet. You draw many wild conclusions just
because I don't think lots of makeup looks good on women. I think they
look just fine without all that. A little can be ok but too often, it's
overdone.

Many little girls are taught at a very young age to want makeup. They
watch their moms put it on and they want to copy and be grown up too.

Another big milestone is to get their first "training bra" even though
they are still flat-chested and don't need one at all. It makes them
feel very grown up.

They're also dying to get pierced ears and dangle those from their ears.

The makeup industry is HUGE and spends lots of advertising dollars to
convince women that their face needs help and to buy more and more
products. Let's not forget perfume either. ;(

Loved that one episode where it was Al's birthday.

Peg walked down the steps in a nighty.
"Oh Al....."

Al took one look and started whining. "Please Peg, not today. It's my
birthday!"

LMAO

Al: ?Or a bra on you.?

Bright blue lipstick might be a fun shade to start off with, Ed.
