Having spent a very enjoyable day yesterday with my friend David​, where we went to the Celts exhibition at the British Museum, I'm spending today on preparing a Call of Cthulhu game for my friends for the 7th November.

I'm using Realm Works​ software to prepare a series of shocks and horrors for them. They'll love it. Of course they will. Murder and Death Incorporated are always good for a laugh. Ghouls are good; of course they are.

In other (rather unlikely) news, I actually spent some money on make-up. I discovered just before attending the British Fantasy Convention that 24 hour lipstick actually lasts five days if you test it on your hand. That makes it worthwhile buying in my view.

I never liked old fashioned lipstick which tasted peculiar and lasted about a nano second on your lips. Modern 24 hour lipstick (this stuff is from Maybelline) actually lasts the time it says it does on the pack, if not slightly longer, and doesn't taste of anything. Score!

CAn't imagine you with lipstick!

I think I may have tried it once or twice as a teenager, but certainly not since then.

When I was young, I hated the taste of lipstick and the feel of it on my lips with a deep fervor, so I never wore it. The Aged P. regarded me as very unfeminine.

However, I wanted to dress up a bit for the British Fantasy Convention, but was told when I asked that it wasn't the sort of event where people wore costume (which it wasn't). That was why I was stood in Boots a few days before I went, testing lipstick on my hand and how I discovered that some modern lipstick has no taste and (subsequently) discovered that it takes days to wear off. When I say days, I mean four or five days...

The only 'lipstick' I like is Burt's Bees tinted lip balm, because it tastes like (lightly minty) lip balm. I really hate regular lipstick, though!

I always did until I found lipstick that doesn't feel funny or taste of anything.

Thanks for the tip -- L'Oreal just reformulated my lovely dark rose to a neon pink (same name, same number) and I'm looking for another long-last lipstick . . .

Glad to be of service!
