Blueberry Popsicle?

Do you ever wake up and think “what am I going to wear”? We suppose everyone probably does. But do you ever think to yourself, “I think I’ll do my make-up in such a way that it looks like I’m suffocating or have recently drowned”? Probably not. But then why do you wear lipstick that makes your lips look bluer than George Donner’s feet after a month in the Sierra Nevadas? Haven’t you always wondered why someone always comes up to you and says “I am certified to do the Heimlich, can I help you?” It’s because your lips give the impression that there is something lodged in your throat that is cutting off your air supply. Where did this trend start? At swimming pools, among lifeguards who were playing practical jokes on each other? Or perhaps you were going for the wall-flower look and you heard the wall paper was going to be a blueish hue? Well, bluebell, I’d start blending into walls that are pinkish or red. These are shades that make you convincing as a living human being because, contrary to what your local mortuary would like you to believe, dead is not in this year. (Next year isn’t looking very promising for that market, either.) The only people who should sport this shade are seven years old and they just finished eating a blueberry popsicle! Let us warn you, we’ve all heard the story about the boy who cried wolf. Keep wearing your lipstick and see who comes to your aid when you actually do have something lodged in your throat.
