if Starbucks was intended to be a powder room, there’d be mirrors at the tables. seriously.
this morning I was at Starbucks trying to enjoy a coffee frappuccino when the woman at the next table whipped out a compact and proceeded to apply full make-up: foundation, cover-up, powder, eye liner. I’m sure there was blush and mascara involved, too, but I didn’t stick around to find out.
isn’t the point of make-up to create an illusion? if that is the case, doesn’t applying it in public defeat the purpose?
not only that, but there was something perceivably dirty about it. It kinda grossed me out. Actually, that is why I left. I guess I go to Starbucks for the atmosphere and the illusion that high-end, five dollar coffee creates. If I wanted to be reminded of a bathroom, I’d go to Tim Hortons! Ha! That came out wrong.
nonetheless, there are certain things that people don’t need to do in public. full make-up application is one of those things. do it BEFORE you leave the house, or if you have to do it in public, go to the bathroom, people! don’t shatter my precious illusion.
