Isabel, knowst thou why State street is called "Great" Street?

This entry is for my dear Isabel, who, among other beautiful things that she does, still sends yo hand-written letters, once in a while...

When we first met she really wanted to have blue hair, but apparently getting the color that would stay blue was a problem.

Well, it looks like it applies to more than just hair color. Look at this product here, same thing.

So, before I forget: I have a suspicion now that our Chicago's State street is called "Great" street because it's here only that you can buy ...BLUE LIPSTICK.

When I saw it, I couldn't resist. I knew I wouldn't use it, but I had to have it. I was wrong though: I thought it was going to be really blue, but when I put it on (you betcha: I did that as soon as I left the store, applying lipstick using a storewindow as my huge mirror) my lips became the color of beetroot, much more intense than it came out on the photo & it was a hell of a job removing this lipstick.

Still, I looked like a vampire out in the daylight downtown Chicago!

Blue hair would've been much more normal, believe me, dear Isa Bel!
