Back in the late fifties and 60's A few companies made some really "Kissproof" lipsticks---their claim was to last 24 hours or more. Dont ask why they dont make them now, when today an 8 hour lipstick is supposed to be a big deal.
Well, when I was 13 or so, many of my friends would go out as "girls" on Halloween--That seemed to be the big thing for 12-15 year old boys in the early 60's. I would ocasionally CD at home, in secret, but there was NO WAY I would go out like that even on Halloween. It was fun to watch though. I usually dressed in more scarry stuff, like "death". One Saturday night Halloween was no exception.
Two days later, a friend of mine, "Charles", told me he had attended church the next day and had seen "Paul", a mutual friend, who had moved some distance away the year before, so he couldn't trick or treat with us the previous night. To Charles' surprise, Paul was wearing dark red lipstick. People were looking at him and snickering. "Paul told Charles that he dressed like a girl the night before, and to his horror, he couldnt get the lipstick off."--His folks made him go to church anyway---as Catholics could NOT miss church. :D
Me and Charles had a good laugh. Later, when i met Paul, myself I asked him about it. His makeup person (Big sister)had put on some of his mother's new kissproof lipstick by mistake(?), pryor to going out trick or treeting. He couldnt get the lipstick off when he got home later.
Paul said he tried everything, soap, water, cold creams, I think he even tried kerosene before he gave up and it was decided it would have to wear off. It stayed intact well through sunday, and there were still traces of it left monday. He said he learned his lesson , he was never gonna dress like a girl for holloween again.
His story sort of shook me. :eek: I started testing any of my mother's new lipsticks on my wrist before I would even dare try them in my CD. Later I read ads that the stuff paul used either "Hazel Bishop" or "Coty 24" was suposed to last at least 24 hours.-----I dont see it around now days though.
Have any of you ever had an experience like Pauls? What happened when you found you couldnt get your lipstick off?--- :D
