Van Gogh


So..hes been in today. Vangogh we call him. (not cause he's chopped his ear off, cos hes mad and his name is similar-sorry cant reveal his real name to protect the crazy).
Hes written a letter to the stores Vice President, something about something that happened in the restaurant (not to self-ask guys in 'cafe-customer' for more info). Hes gone way too far this time, i doubt hell get away with it, you cant go round threatening to sue people just cos they wont stand around all day listening to your crap about how many rich and famous people you know. (we all know you live in a high rise in a district where people smell). honestly its been going on for as long as i know, cosmetics is a magnet for weirdos its like a friggin mental ward some days. Its cos we cant escape, we have to stand there in our high heels and our lipstick while the latest transgender/bearded lady/fat man with cross eyes rambles on to us and smile all the while like we LOVE it.
I've seen the letter, i told Ruby, shes going to ask her mum if she knows anything about his past, seems he thinks hes pally with the store manager now, he only agreed to see him on account of him sounding like a loony and thought it would only be half an hour..it was two! ha ha! bet he loves that with us hemorrhaging money this week.
i don't know why they've not shopped this week. were being blamed of course. we always are they don't want excuses, they want to know what were going to do about forcing people to buy makeup. what are we going to 'link sell' today?? its not enough now we push two things onto people they want 3..i give up.
over and out til tomorrow. There is a meeting and I've got to work a 10hr shift cos there is no one else to stand there staring into space waiting for the 1000-to-1 chance someone wants to buy a lipstick and heaven forbid theres no-one there to say 'pinks really not your colour don't be so bloody stupid with YOUR skin? really are you stuck in the 1980's??" as if we do say that ;-)

If the media was filled with size 14 women, and all the clothes going cheap in shops were 14 and above, and diet clubs didnt exist..would i still feel fat?
I want to be a feminist but will i have to let my hair go brown, throw away the false eyelashes, the lipstick the false nails and even the BRA?? It seems that way if the recent program on BBC4 is anything to go by.
