Rebel Red

I just purchased red lip gloss, because Real Simple told me to. The article said every woman regardless of skin tone should try some form of red lipstick. I usually favor nude lips and dramatic eyes, but I greatly enjoy expanding my cosmetic repertoire, so I thought, why not. One of the suggestions in the magazine was to go for gloss if you shy away from the bold effect. That seemed like the route for me, although the idea of a gloss that wasn't pretty sheer confused me. I settled on L'Oreal Paris Infallible NeverFail Lip Gloss in Rebel Red. I love it! It goes to show that it's nice to mix it up some. I love working the eye makeup, but it definitely takes effort. Putting Rebel Red on is lightening fast but shows that I'm ready to party. Bravo!

What Really Grinds Wednesday's Gears: New-Fangled Social Networking Inventions

What the HELL is gmail's "buzz?"
Is buzz the new facebook? (Buzzbook)? I try to ignore that I apparently have 2 new buzzes in my buzz inbox (my buzzbox). I try to ignore the colorful little conversation bubble that draws me in. Because when I click on it, I have no idea what to do- I see that I am following people (who I've no memory of following), and some people (much fewer) are following me and I'm not sure why. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm not a very entertaining buzzer.
I see my friend has been posting buzzes that I never knew about. What is this secret life he leads? Which status update am I supposed to believe? Are you painting your 2nd bedroom or are you "tired of hearing pants on the ground"!?
Twitter? Facebook? I can't keep up with everyone's virtual outlets-- I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Good thing I off-loaded myspace. I can't believe I survived the death of Friendster. Ohmygod remember Friendster!?
