Pretty Girls Don't Need Groceries

Take a look in your cupboards, then compare what you see with what's in your makeup bag. Is one a little better stocked than the other?

According to the beauty buyers at FeelUnique.com, women will slash the grocery bill first before they run out of makeup: "Almost one in three women would rather eat less than cut back on lotions and potions."

My first thought: Outrageous! A vaguely discriminatory statement like this is just another star in the constellation of micro-inequities that cumulatively serve to perpetuate ridiculous gender stereotypes!

Second thought: Although, I really do buy a lot of hairspray.

With times getting leaner, it's true that the first thing to get economized was my grocery bill. Bye-bye organic butter lettuce, hello frozen spinach! It's just a matter of priorities. I can't give up my Boscia Intensive Eye Treatment when it's making such progress in my Great De-Wrinkling.

But starve first? Mais non! Though now that I think of it, Juice beauty goodies are made with organic juice...
