My Train of Thought is Headed to Rudetown with a Quick Stop at Assholeville.
I noticed a woman with very thin lips while on the train. I briefly wondered if her lipstick lasted a really long time since she has such little lip surface area to cover. Then I wondered why she bothered drawing attention to them with lipstick at all.
Then, as she pursed her lips together and they all-together disappeared, the *cough* rather rude analogy of rolling a girl in flour came to mind and I wondered if someone would have to dunk her head into some flour in order to know where to kiss her.
Which made me think of how I once sincerely expressed that there was nothing more sad than a fat girl getting her nails done. Which, I think, I later revised to say that shoe shopping might be worse. And that made me wonder why some larger women wear such tiny wrist watches that seem to pinch off their circulation?
This made me recall a conversation I had with Instigator in which I called Anjelica Huston a…handsome woman. This is my way of saying that she is manly. I tried to name other handsome women but only Bea Arthur came to mind – the original handsome woman.
And then I wondered if calling a woman handsome was basically being politely rude. Making something bad seem okay. Mutton dressed as lamb, if you will. Polishing a turd. Lipstick on a pig.
And then I realized I’d come full circle, so to speak.

I too have wondered why women with skinny lips wear lipstick to bring that to attention.
It’s the same way I wonder why people with no necks wear turtle neck sweaters. It just looks like your upper body is giving birth to your face…it’s not pretty…
I have concluded that 1. people are weird and 2. people are blind

I laughed. Really hard. I, too, am an asshole.

I laughed also. But I’m not an asshole, I’ve been told I’m a bitch. Some people might think you’re rude, but since I think the same way, I don’t. I just hope you don’t voice these thoughts, as occassionally mine have slipped out, and I’ve found that not everyone thinks as we do.

I’m totally shaking my head at you on this one, RE.
And laughing….but only a little bit………

I actually prefer thinner lips and don’t really see the attraction in air-flotation-device lips.
Natural is better.

Wow Random. I’m totally an ass also because I completely agree. I’m also thankful that I got good genes from my parents.

Ha ha ha oh boy… guess that means I’m an ass too. Sheesh.

@Tiffany – Where does the fabric go on those no-neckers when they wear those turtlenecks? does it all just bunch up like a straw wrapper?
@Chic – <3
@ruthm – Ummm, my verbal filter is pretty good. Usually.
@MommaSunshine – you’re trouble and you like trouble.
@CBG – Well, it is less commentary on natural vs. fake than it is on normal vs. very thin. Definitely not a natural vs. fake observation, just one on people who have lips so thin, they are hardly there.
@Roose – Let’s spin in the driveway and fart on each other.
@T – Ha! You’re far too sweet to be an ass.
-R.

Wow, is all I can say.
April 15th, 2010 at 10:42 am
I love you asshole! <3

Ok Random, I’m a fat girl who gets her nails done AND shops for shoes. Mean. I take back all the nice stuff I said about you Tuesday. -Scowl-

@BobbiJanay – Right?
@QT – Thenkew.
@Susan – Oh, but, see, you’re not. The mere fact that you said this to me means you’re not the person I meant. It’s about the melancholy of the thing and you, my dear, are not that girl.
April 16th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Hmm…maybe you’re forgiven. But only because your post today was funny. I do get the melancholy thing…I just usually associate it with plain girls, not fat ones. (Not that the two aren’t sometimes the same girl.)

Oh my god! That was very, very, rude and very, very, funny.
