Vanity / Emergency Kit
Out at breakfast, we were discussing the best of items which are a sort of ‘must have’ for each of us…the smart one among us, D, listed items such as ‘string’, ‘band aids’, ‘knife’, ‘lighter’, etc.
I offered:
- valid passport
- bobby pins
- safety pins
- purse sized sewing kit
- floss
- clear nail polish
- kohl eyeliner
- MAC Phlooph Frost shadow
- MAC Clear Lip Glass**
- Lancome Hypnose mascara
- Revlon Always Starlet red nail polish
…because that would carry you into any situation gracefully. It wasn’t a matter of life and death for me, but of vanity and travel.
Have you anything to add?
Better yet, if you had any emergency kit – vanity or otherwise - what would it include?
**I have spent a mini fortune on MAC’s Lip Glass in clear, because it is the only item I continuously misplace. I have never held on to one long enough to finish the tube, but rather, always loose it quite early on. It seems to be, in some odd way, my very own Catcher In The Rye.

Camera. Always.
I always say I'm going to bring bobby pins with me and then ALWAYS fucking forget them!!!! You should make this kit and then sell it for a bazillion dollars on ebay. SHIT! You should get 'one female canuck' t-shirts made. I WOULD WEAR ONE!

Chester, I'd like you to meet Anjum. I think that you two would make beautiful 8.5 x 11s ;)
She's stunning...and you would be a lucky man!
Maria, it's creepy that you'd wear a 'one female canuck' t-shirt, but ok ;)

I don't know if the world is germier or I'm just more anal than I used to be, but hand sanitizer is a must in my purse.
...also something breath-freshy like mints or gum or something.
Nail file...must have nail file because whenever I don't have a nail file, that's when I get one of those annoying but invisible snaggy nail edges.
OOOOOHHHHHHHH NAIL FILE!!!!!!!! Maha that has to be a part of your emergency vanity kit. IT MUST.
I have to stop yelling I'm having a stressful day.

lol, maha every time i stop by this blog i find that you have pimped me out in some way.. first to uzi, now to chester (nice to meet you chester). i'm just going to take this as a compliment! :-P
funny part is that i would definitely add a camera, always. but to answer your question.. i AM a frequent traveler, and what i must always have in my purse: phone (LG Chocolate), camera (Canon SD600), wallet (w/ cash, driver's license, ATM, visa, amex, insurance & AAA cards), comb, checkbook, blistex (mint!), light color lip gloss, darkish lipstick (as a base), eyeliner, and freshener compact. oh and car keys usually. oh and sometimes my 1gb flash drive.
Anjum, I'm your Mayflower Madam(e). I'll pimp you out to all the hotties who drop by this blog; I consider it a duty or something...
What in the hell is a 1gb flash drive?
You know what, Lisa, I can't believe I forgot A NAIL FILE. What the hell was I thinking? Clippers, too, if you can manage it.
Smart lady. (You too, for agreeing, maria.)
Hand sanitizer freaks me out; I just wash with soap and water...I'm old fashioned that way, I guess.

Anjum would have to be happy to make beautiful pedantry together because my first thought, when I read your comment, was..."8.5 x 11? That's 1.3X 'aspect ratio'. It's all about 1.5X/3:2!"
That said, 1.3X is better than 1.25X, which is for low-minded barbarians.
CONDOMS. That's vanity because you think you're gonna get some ass.

Oh my god, I have absolutely not a clue what Chester is saying.
I am very pleased to have a smart man enjoying this blog! Chester, if ever we need you to crack code...you may take a photo of it, as well.
Tommy. Seriously. You are a freak. Thank you.
