Things That Need to Be Invented Like Now

Part 1

Me after a night out - just not as composed.

*Some sort of device that prevents me from going to sultry and alluring with straight hair and dark smokey eyes to frizzy hair hastily tied up and raccoon eyes. Before I go out dancing I spend hours with a GHD and lots of time and patience trying to use a liquid liner successfully. And in the end all I end up with is pictures on Facebook of me trying to pull off heroin chic and failing miserably. If the people who owned clubs have some sort of misty thing that kept hair from doubling in size and that could also prevent my face from becoming all shiny, my life would be complete.

*Bad Kisser Detector. Meeting eligible boys these days is hard work. You never know who may be a douche, who may have a girlfriend or even worse who listen to Nickelback that sometimes you need to need to test out the waters before committing to anything serious. I’ve always thought that Cher was a bit frivolous with her “It’s in his kiss” thing but now it turns out that she’s right. I’ve found that no matter how good-looking a guy can be, or how much he can make you laugh if he’s a bad kisser things do not go much further. Therefore if I’m going to spend time holding in my stomach and listening to his ramblings I would like to know that it’s going to pay off. I do not have time to waste on washing machines and darting tongues. Also ladies if you happen to stumble upon a bad kisser, please do not send him back out into the wild. You have to let him know, in the kindest way you can. Shouting “why are you attacking my mouth” is not one of my proudest moments.

Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!

  1. hey ladies! totally agree on post. can i add that there is a serious need for a sarcasm font especially for texting and that all men should come with a score card that is presented upon meeting them.
    i.e.-
    kissing- soft yet firm 7/10
    foreplay- is a giver
    reason for last break up- farted in bed...a lot

    would save us so much time and effort

    also a heads up for the odeon event in feb- singletons awareness day with a screening of bridget jones's diary aaaaaaaaaaand wait for it....drumroll please
    A CHARITY AUCTION FOR A DATE WITH A HOTTIE INCLUDING FREE DINNER AT PEPPER CLUB ON THE BEACH AND A RIDE IN THE ROLLS ROYCE! buddaboom!

  2. Ah man I loved this post! I am so glad I am not the only one ending up shiny and black rimmed down to my chin with frizzed hair!

    @ Cosmicgrrl - cant you come to Jhb and help "un-single" me?

  3. I find dusting on baby-powder over makeup before you go out helps with the shinyness (and you seriously can't see that it's there). And putting a thin thin ayer of eyeshadow over liquid liner stops it running later.

    Hair frizz still defeats me though. I just wear hats!

    As for bad kissers I think we all have different tastes so a good kisser to me would be different to someone else and so we all kind of adjust. Mae West once said "I have found men who didn't know how to kiss. I've always found time to teach them" or something like that. First kisses tend to be awful and then they get better over time as you both adjust to what the other person likes.
