My mother missed having dinner with Lyndon Johnson because she couldn't find the right hat to wear. While my father went off to the white house to break bread with the President, my mother, who's not a things and stuff person, stayed at the hotel and tried on 10 different hats and missed dinner.
My big thing is to make sure the lipsticks taste good when you kiss. And, well, so far they taste pretty darn good.
