Ohhh Woman! I am
so sorry! I don't know how you all do it? I wouldn't stand for it! Not one bit!
Now you know if Miss TamEva had to pay $32 for her lipsticks she'd have to start up a "Door to Door" grassroots campaign to get the parliament to either ratify a new amendment re: price gouging on cosmetics or simply overthrow the commonwealth...
and be done with it!
Now...I'm just a simple Girl from San Francisco! Although, I know a thing or three about grassroots campaigns, and I think I've felt your pain,
adequately, enough just through my one eBay lipstick travesty to get you going in the right direction!
I suggest writing to your Parliamentarians,
Senator Penny Wong & Senator-elect Louise Pratt. Two of the most,
notably, powerful "Lipstick Lesbians" in the galaxy!
Look closely, if I'm not mistaken, I think Louise Pratt is wearing a little "
Ruby Woo" lipstick in the pic below - (
albeit; without a cherry pencil primer application...buuuuut...who's perfect!?!)
If they can't create some kind of new reform to lower the prices of cosmetics in the Land Down Under, well then no one can.
Your Last resort would be to simply to take it to
Big Mama herself!
The Queen must know the struggles of the everyday girl and her desire for the perfect shade of lip rouge! It's true - she doesn't leave the castle without a lil' somethin' somethin'...am I right ladies?
I'm willing to do what I can here - make a few phone calls, make a few signs, wear a few a T-shirts, get in some lines - you know?
I'm composing a letter, as we speak, to the Australian Consulate-General in San Francisco for The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - whose mission it is in advancing the interests of Australia and Australians internationally. They're practically right down the street from me!
Pardom me - I have to shut my window - the yammering cries of the starving homeless orphans who live in the alleyway below are distracting me from my letter composition...
sorry! Where was I?
O.K. - O.K....I'll just start with a pink "n" black T-shirt...with glitter on it!
Kisses,
TamEva
P.S. We LOVE you Aussies, don't think for a second we Americans don't think of you everytime we get two for the price of your one! Having said that, I'd venture to say that, your cosmetic collections are probably 10 times more special than ours, and would
LOVE to see a thread started sharing what it is you Aussies all have in your collections that you've paid dearly for!
Hope you're able to enjoy the new upcoming collection, which I've dubbed as "The Second Coming Of Sophistication", since the
D' Bohemia collection a few years ago.
And, if one remembers, the release of
Naughty Nauticals will mark the 3rd year anniversary of
D' Bohemia, give or take a week! Conceptually, aside from the Piggies, they are quite similiar.
I LOVED D' Bohemia!
Thoughts anyone?
