[litlaur]

Name: Laura. When I was born, whoever filled out my birth certificate spelled my name wrong - Lola. When I got my driver's license, we couldn't find the corrected one, so my license says Lola. It creates a bit of a hassle at times. My dad found the corrected birth certificate, but there are so many typos on it (date: 6/7/184??). It's gonna be a bitch to get this straightened out.

Future Plans: I'm graduating from college in May. Hopefully I can get a job. I'm not really sure where. I don't really like my major anymore, but maybe I'll figure something out. When I do find a job, my boyfriend is going to go back to school. After he graduates, we'd like to move to Washington state. Somewhere in there we'll get married.

Ethnicity: *very* distilled English, Swedish and Spanish

How I got into MAC: I remember Madonna making Russian Red famous in the late 80s-early 90s and when I visited NYC for the first time in 1995, I stopped by the counter at Henri Bendel and fell in love. I still have a handful of lipsticks in the original cylindrical tubes (including Russian Red).
Future plans: I like my job, but maybe I'm hitting a midlife crisis...I'm interested in food and might look into becoming a dietitian.

It's cool getting to know people in this thread!
