There is an array of MAC products so formidable spread out on the floor, it looks like MAC set up a new business plan along the lines of Mary Kay with home sales parties.

There has been the selection of flattering tops, and the careful selection of attractive undergarments.

There are heated curlers.

Things have been rouged. Lips have been painted. Eyelids have shiny new colours.

We are armed and ready for the pub, boys, poutine and Strongbow. And whatever else may come our way. Bring it!
