Coffee is not a fan of makeup. Applying a smudge of eyeliner to my face has zero impact on him – ditto for anything beyond chapstick. He just doesn’t see any appeal to it and it doesn’t make me “prettier” according to him.
This is not to say he chants, “TROLLOP! WHORE!” if I do feel like wearing makeup.
(Although that might be kind of amusing, albeit awkward, at the holiday parties coming up, no?)
Today I wandered through the store with Maymo and we saw an end-unit display for makeup. There was a closeup picture of a woman’s mouth, shiny and coated in lipstick/gloss, in front of which I found Maymo standing transfixed.
Me: Whatcha’ lookin’ at?
Maymo: Her mouth is… DIRTY. And spitty! Shiny and wet!
Me: I think that’s lipstick, honey, not dirt or spit.
Maymo: It’s gross.
I was pretty sure I could hear Coffee cheering despite him not even being there.

I wonder if that’s what the company was going for in their ad. “Try our new TROLLOP RED, it’s Dirty Shiny and Wet!!” I’m sure it would appeal to a lot of men. But then men don’t buy much lipstick.

Wait, did you just say “holiday parties coming up”?? You better be talking about Halloween.

All hail to Coffee! Nice to see I’m not the only one who detests false advertising.

ROFLMAO!! I LOVE MAYMO!!!
And Coffee too!! The world needs more guys like that!
