Immortal moments in flatmate humor

[livejournal.com profile] motodraconis suggested that if I'm really concerned about my scar, I could try some makeup. Which seemed like an idea at least worth entertaining. Thing is, I don't think any of the women I know (not, at any rate, the women I know well enough to ask them to help me with makeup) wear makeup.

So with that in the back of my mind, a few minutes ago, as my flatmate Eon and I were wrapping up watching our ten minutes of Daily Show highlights (praise tivo!), I asked whether he might know anyone who knew anything about makeup. He said he didn't think so. I explained why I was asking, and
Eon: You could just go to the Clinique counter at Macy's...

Alex: And throw myself on the mercies of a seventeen-year-old girl...

Eon: [Laughs]. You know, it could make a great video...

Alex: Help me anorexic seventeen-year-old blonde girl

Eon & Alex, in stereo: ...you're my only hope!

Eon then offered to come with me and videotape it if I decide to go.

Oh, and you will have to go to a counter for advice - don't buy over the internet (yet) as these things come in various different shades so you need one to match your existing skin tone. Buy the wrong tone and the results could be disasterous!
