Urban Girl Tip: Recovery

I have invented a new city girl catch phrase: “Make-up Hangover.” This occurs when you wear waaaaay too much make-up the night before, it won’t wash off and you end up going to work the next day bearing a more than small resemblance to Pat Benatar.

Last night, the whole gang got dressed up for some Halloween fun in the Castro. I went as Dolly Parton this year, complete with blonde wig, ruffley suit, giant boobs, cowboy boots, guitar and an insane amount of makeup. When I got home, no amount of scrubbing would remove all the eyeliner. No wonder Dolly has maintained this look for so long – she literally cannot take it off!
