Is it Lip Stick or is it . . . ?

This afternoon, I read in the New York Magazine that a major retailer of make-up and perfumes is going to start selling a product that can be best described as "nipple rouge."

They point out, in this announcement, that the product is "kiss proof" as well as "water proof."

The company that makes the product's representative says that even though most folks will never see a person's made up nipples, just knowing that your nipples are a perky pink will make your whole being perkier.

Now, I don't know about this whole nipple/whole being perkiness thing - since monkeys are rarely described as being "perky" in the first place. But, I'm not sure nipple make up is really the product humans, male or female, have been waiting for to finally hit the market. I also suspect that those humans who have been longing to spruce up the appearance of their nipples have been making do with lipstick or blusher.

However, from now on, when I see a person with color streaked on their face, I'll have to wonder if it's lipstick or nipple smear.

I will be forever grossed-out by that post....especially the last sentence. Thanks!
