Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 08, 2010

I’m glad my wife doesn’t buy all that junk.

If a man doesn’t think my lips are kissable the way they are, he can kiss my… well you get the idea.

I am thankful EVERY day that my parents gave me the right set of chromosomes. 11 lip ‘enhancers’? I wouldn’t be a woman if you paid me!!

Most women wouldn’t go near that with a 10 meter pole….. But for the insecure ones who want to stay “young” there is always someone out there willing to prey on them. Guys are no different (though it isn’t lip enhancers we keep getting spam about…..)

I’m a woman and I haven’t heard of any of those things.

I wear Chapstik. Hubby seems to have no problem kissing me that way.

Something else for Cathy to obsess about.

I’m right there with you Cathy! My lipstick feathered the other day. What is happening?!

I don’t think you could find her lips under all of that gunk.

My husband prefers the au natural look. :-)

Every guy I’ve kissed, has done so to get my lip balm onto their own lips… LOL!

ROTFL! But it’s not just guys who get THOSE ads. I used to get them and I’d like to know what makes them think someone with the feminine name of Alondra or Macushlalondra needs with an enhancement of a body part she does not possess??

I always figured that women used lipstick to mark territory–y’know, getting it on the guy’s collar to signal to other women that “this one’s taken.” That’s why no two tubes of lipstick are the same color, right?

Yes, I get those ads, and for every kind of junk I don’t need or want too, i see that when checking my “junk mail” folder.

This reminds of an episode of The Red Green Show where Red explains that you can tell a person’s reached middle age by looking in their medicine cabinet. The young have maybe a tube of toothpaste and mouthwash at most. But when you reach middle age your medicine cabinet is so full you may need to build onto it. I wonder how full Cathy’s medicine cabinet is? Not counting Irving’s stuff; he’s shown the signs of being over the hill for years.

My wife has never bought make-up, jewelry or fancy clothes and has never allowed me to do it for her. If you don’t think my wallet and I are grateful, think again.

Irving is lucky to have a woman at all, let alone a wife, yet, I bet he makes out with his phone more than he does with Cathy.

I love all that stuff. I love to dress up and do my hair. It’s fun being a girl!

@Macush.L.L., I too get all those ads, and I have wondered about them, but I have decided that they think I would want to use them to improve my boyfriend. Also they include an “after” photo to encourage the poor victim they are sending this spam to…

Oh, well, the Delete button comes in very handy sometimes…

I can’t imagine using all that stuff, let alone for someone like Irving. I use makeup when I have to go out of the house, but otherwise (neighbors and deliveries) I would not bother. And I might even sneak off to do groceries at a late hour to avoid it;-)

We are all on choice overload. The newspaper is nothing but ads, the TV is nothing but ads, and if you don’t have every blocker known to humans, the internet is nothing but ads. And it is all for junk nobody needs – like all these lip whatevers. So what was everybody watching the SuperBowl for yesterday – the ads.
