The last time I saw my beautician—and when I say "my beautician" I mean some woman in the hairdressers on the corner who's waxed my eyebrows for me a couple of times—she recommended me "the perfect moisturiser for women our age".
Women our age? I've googled her social security number and can clearly see she was born in 1967. From now on I'm spending two hours in Photoshop each time I want to leave the house.

Don't be stupid, ginger people don't have eyebrows.
ReplyDeletePhotoshop, LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you look about 21. Cute, fresh and innocent. And for that, I hate you.

that really is the photoshop...you should see her in real life
ReplyDeletedl xx
lolz to you, and hello. xx
ReplyDeleteI do SO have eyebrows! I have bigger eyebrows than anyone I know. They just happen to be white. I got them dyed once. Never again! I just looked cross all the time. At least with white brows nobody can tell when I'm frowning.
Yes Isabella, I'm afraid it's mostly Photoshop.
Wow. You'd think that someone in the beauty biz would know enough not to ever say things like that.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, either you are the best Photoshopper ever, or you really do look/are young. I don't think you need it, but if do you decide to buy the moisturizer anyway, don't buy it from her.
I don't know what you are going on about!
ReplyDeleteAfter hours in the bathroom tarting yourself up you look exactly the same as you did before you went in.
Photoshop my ass, you look lovely all the time.
ha ha. i have only just read your comment on my blog. actually i think i am the domestic goddess. by the way tim, while my parents dont read her blog, her parents do - i think i may need counselling.
ReplyDeleteOh Annie, there’s no way you look anything like 40, regardless of the photoshop. I think your flagging eyesight (minus the new trendy glasses) let you down and you got her social security number wrong.
ReplyDeleteThere’s just no way a beautician would say ‘our age’ to you, unless she knew she was seriously close to your age. It’s more likely she was born in ’86 and you’ve misread it.
I remember you standing on the pavement somewhere in Dublin, looking around and pointing a finger like you knew exactly where you wanted to go but didn’t have a clue where you were and I even said to you “Wow you’re looking very beautiful”. Because you were.
It's okay peeps, I'm not overly concerned about it, I just thought it was funny.
ReplyDeleteIcelanders all look 10 years younger than everybody else their age on the planet anyway, so she probably thought I was a native. Hooray.
I tried this photoshop thing, and look how that turned out...

You know when I saw that picture I thought it was something you just stole from a zombie DVD cover or something. When I realised it was you it totally creeped me out! And now I have nightmares about you and stuff. I thought I'd left a comment on your blog about it but it seems it never went through.
ReplyDeleteAwww... I'm sorry. I did have some reservations about posting that somewhat disturbing image of me since my 9 and 7 year old cousins might be browsing my blog, but I never expected my more mature readers to be affected... I'll keep it in mind in the future. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf someone can mistake you for 40, maybe someone can mistake me for 26!!!!! Please, tell me it could happen!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, Annie -- you are gorgeous and you look about 18 to me. Lucky, lucky girl, you'll probably look that way for decades.
Since no one else has done so, I was going to leave a comment suggesting that you looked to be older than that, but I am hungover so I can't quite sort the wording. Please think of a comment to this effect and apply it to yourself.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think I've stumbled onto something here -- commenting without having to do all the work. I think from now on my only comment on blogs will be: "Please think of something funny and attribute it to me."
Photoshop, my arse.
ReplyDeleteActually, that's more of a good idea than a refutation of your suggestion...
there's some tips on this online slot gambling website to look 10 years younger and you can even win a makeover.
