The Lipstick League - week of 5.23.11

Otter follows boy at the San Diego Zoo

When I saw this video the other day, it absolutely warmed my heart, so I thought I'd share it with you. When I was a teenager, I spent a few summers working at the San Diego Zoo, and it was probably the best job I ever had (despite having to wear brown polyester every day and sling burgers to hot, angry and impatient masses). Having access to so many animals on a daily basis (talk about the ultimate lunch break!) was something that never got old. I was also able to meet countless celebrities and their families because, well, everyone eventually visits the world-famous San Diego Zoo!

Lipstick League Question of the Week:

 

What’s a brand that you absolutely love but can’t afford?

G's Answer: Ha ha ha! There are a zillion brands I love but can't afford, but if I had to break it down to my top six, they would be: Laura Mercier bath & body products (anyone care to buy me the créme de pistache body soufflé for $55?), Chantecaille (everything), Guerlain (lipstick, Meteorites), Dior (quints) and many, many fragrances by Serge Lutens and L'Artisan.
