much obliged

I don't wear a lot of pink, but apparently I own a good amount of pink objects. For you James Frey fans, you might like to know that my copy is signed! When he was promoting My Friend Leonard, I went to one of his book readings/signings and got this book and A Million Little Pieces signed. Now I know there was that whole Oprah controversy - did he lie? should it have been called fiction? - but I still love these two books...and I think Mr. Frey is a brilliant writer.

In case you're wondering, the lip colors are: Smashbox pout, Lancome daiquiri, and Bobbi Brown hot pink. The blush is Bobbi Brown pale pink. It's the only blush I've used for years now. Also, wallet-Marc Jacobs. (It's kind of a dirty pink now...I guess I'm tough on my wallet.) Cosmetic bag-Fendi (circa 2002 ish). Headband-American Apparel.
