weird question

crystal · Kate Spade

keep an eye on the people who were at your party & see if you notice anyone wearing it. if you do, say "gosh, that looks like the same color i used to wear... then one day it disappeared." (in an innocent tone of course!)

Hermione · Kate Spade

that really sucks, b/c i'm assuming it was ten of your friends. you would think that maybe a good friend might be like "hey i'm using your eyeshadoow, hope you don't mind!" (that's something one of my girlfriends and i would say to eachother)

sucks that it was just stolen

bumblebee · Coach

yeah, it's so bizarre. it's not like it's anything valuable, it just makes me feel weird that they wouldn't tell me.

laken1 · Hermes

Yeah, i want to know who are these people? That is INSANE! I'm with indiekitten - if someone said to me - wow, I really like this color I would probably give it to them, but for sure would let them use it. No good excuse for stealing it.

blubirde · Chanel

That sucks - I hate thieves. You know what your story reminds me of? I dated this boy once who now is a woman. Apparently while we were together (I didn't know) he used to steal girl stuff from people's houses. Nothing big but maybe a shirt or a pair of pantyhose or an eyeshadow. He only told me this in retrospect when he was explaining his whole transition. (He started living as a girl about 1.5 years after we'd broken up but apparently he'd been girl-happy his whole life only he never told anyone.)

So I'm not saying one of your 10 friends is a guy who wants to be a girl, I'm just saying I've heard of it before.

Here's my other piece of advice: stay away from boys who wear eyeliner. They may say it's all punk and rock & roll and they may look cute with their crazy hair and studded belts and all but don't believe them. Just a tip from me to you.

i just talked to one of my girlfriends, who said that maybe someone dropped it and it broke, so they threw it out. which makes much more sense than anything else. but now i am obsessed with the idea that one of my male friends wants to be a woman.

this is totally cracking me up, by the way. But while it makes sense that someone dropped it, it's still wrong for them not to tell you, "I'm so sorry, but I dropped your eyeshadow and it went everywhere..." but then again, that means they'd have to admit they were rooting around in your medicine cabinet. Hm.

blink · Coach

can you send out a group email asking, in a funny way, hey...who borrowed my bronze eyeshadow during dinner the other night?? you may never get an answer, but at least such person won't think it went unnoticed and might keep their sticky fingers to themselves next time they are at your place.

bumblebee · Coach

nah, it's not worth it to me to accuse anyone. maybe it broke or got lost or something. probably not, but i'm gonna choose to believe that for now. saves me worrying about more serious/odd circumstances!
