Immortal moments in flatmate humor

[xela]

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.

Has the "rub vitamin E oil into it" option been mentioned to you? It seemed to work for me. But finding topical vitamin E was a bit of a job.

Uh, I think you can just get the pills that are oil encased in gelatin, and cut them open. I usually assume if it's food grade, it's ok to apply topically. Though obviously that is not a good metric with spicy foods.
