Lipstick...............

The following is one of those occasional, unavoidably cryptic entries. Most won't catch the reference, a lucky handful might, one certainly will.

I found this in my meanderings yesterday afternoon and it made me laugh out loud..........and gave me a little "warm fuzzy" at the same time.

It fits so aptly as an illustration to a short story I read once........a very good one as a matter of fact.

It was well written, witty, funny.........all those good things. It wasn't very long, more of an anecdote or a vignette than a short story, I suppose.......but those few, well chosen words spoke volumes. It had power packed into its small frame.....and the more you thought about it, the larger and more ironically amusing it grew.

It was a wonderful story..........and it deserves a better fate than to be tucked away to languish.

I'll never forget it..........I wish I'd made a hard copy when I had the chance.

Thus endeth the entry............
