tommy,
I have only ordered from them once or twice and they have been pretty speedy, but this time of year? I don't know.
good luck!

I show my power as a woman by looking a man in the eye and forcing him to address me as an equal. Sex bomb red lips don't seem to have the same impact.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Wait, so my wearing makeup means that I'm a weak tool of the man? Can't I wear lipstick and look a man in the eye and demand he treat me as an equal? Why is this an either/or proposition?

Buffy generally did both.

Always Anti-fascist!
I agree. Even though I don't wear much makeup.

So did Wonder Woman. While wearing star spangled boy shorts.

My back goes straight up about this. The assumption that I'm wearing makeup, dyeing my hair purple or wearing a skirt for anyone but me makes me nuts. My personal aesthetic is not about you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I called Think Geek. It sound like the order will go out today. If I don't get an email today telling me it's shipped, I am to call them back. If the order goes out tomorrow that's still OK, so it looks like things are good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You are an individual, not a social statement.
But I, an individual, can participate in a social statement.
You can. My issue is still with the idea that cosmetics, which are heavily culturally baggage-laden, can be used as a statement of women's "power."
The assumption that I'm wearing makeup, dyeing my hair purple or wearing a skirt for anyone but me makes me nuts.
The assumption that appearance, and the items/tools which are marketed to women to "enhance" our appearance, exist in a cultural and societal vacuum free of any implications, makes me nuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 is reporting on a Mozambique breast self exam ad campaign that uses DC and Marvel superheroines doing their own exams. I wish people weren't treating it as sexual. Including the blog IO9 got the story from (IO9 themselves, aren't, particularly).
My issue is still with the idea that cosmetics, which are heavily culturally baggage-laden, can be used as a statement of women's "power."
I don't think that cosmetics (or anything that's used to enhance female attractiveness) are inherently contaminated. And I'll keep resisting that with quite some effort.
While wearing star spangled boy shorts.
Those are not boy shorts. Those are proper knickers.
