I was reading 11/29/63, the Stephen King novel, in hardback... I was so addicted to it, though, I switched bags for that week (and stopped carrying my coffee on the subway) so I could get in a few extra pages. OMG, that book was like heroin, but with a really shitty ending. Anyway! Big books!

P.S. I really love how you put all the links in your stories... not only because it saves me the google-trouble, but also because it situates the stories in a nice digital place, one of your own creation. This may not make sense, but YES.

@liznieve errrr, tinted moisturizer. I would think your foundation would already be tinted. Sigh.

Echoing the matte foundation aging thing... but two tiny tips:
a) Laura Mercier tinted foundation. It's expensive, but totally worth it, and you can build it up where you need more coverage, but allow some freckles and real skin to show through so you don't look like a spackled ghost. Also has SPF.
b) If you really want heavy coverage (and msot of the time this only comes in a matte finish), try using a brightening primer. Ahem, Laura Mercier makes one. It makes your skin look more like skin, and gives you well, contour and depth that the matte takes away.
just my $0.02!

Yeah, that I impulsively read with a nasally British accent.
It also smelled like a (gilded) fart in an elevator.

@maybe partying will help
No idea, other than her snotty daughter seemed to want to use her for a sweet vacay, she places more value on her own self-regard than bonding with her daughter, and some overpriced "luxury" resort isn't what it was expected to be.
Oh and apparently everyone who has a good time on South Beach should PUT ON A SHIRT AND GO TO A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. I went to South Beach and had a good time, and MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE (at least) MASTER'S DEGREES. We are not philistines, just don't have sticks up our asses.
Ugh. This feels like Roiphe rage.

OOOH but when it's good, it's really good. It's like hollandaise sauce that doesn't need a double boiler. Idk, I just use a stick blender and a bowl and go sooooo slllloowwwwllllyyyyyy with the oil. SO GOOD.
