This week in History: Black lipstick

The following events took place on 4/19/2017

Guys, I just realized something.  The school year ends in two weeks for me, that means, I won't have any TWIH posts for the whole summer!  I'm gonna miss Dr. Parker... but, at least I will be free from homework!

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY!!! *please read in announcer's voice*

TOPIC ONE:  In between classes, there is a five-minute transition period so the students can pack up then move to the next class.  This is usually when Dr. Parker and his students chat and tell weird or funny stories.  This week, Dr. Parker was telling us about this one time when he was on a plane and a lady walked up to him, asking to switch seats.  He said that the woman told him that there was a mix-up with the seating and that she wanted to sit next to her cousin.  Being the gentlemen that he is, Dr. Parker traded seats with her.  But, turns out, she wasn't switching to sit with her family, no.  She was switching so she didn't have to sit next to this one guy with horrible B.O. for a four-hour plane ride (I don't remember if that's how long the flight was, but I know it was a long time).  So this woman totally jipped Dr. parker into sitting with this gross-smelling guy for an entire plane trip.

I said that, if you wear black lipstick, people wouldn't talk to you because they find you intimidating.  So, to have a good laugh, Dr. Parker asked, "so I should start wearing black lipstick?".  The whole class died laughing.  He even suggested that I turn that into a blog post: "hacks on how to avoid people.  #1.  Wear black lipstick".  But, instead of doing that, I think I'll tell a semi-embarrassing story about me and lipstick that I know Dr. Parker will like.

TOPC TWO: Right before Spring break, I went on vacation to Alabama for a week with my friend.  It was pretty awesome!  Our rental house was right on a private beach and we had a great view of the ocean!

On, Thursday or Friday, we drove up to the USS Alabama.  The USS Alabama is a WWII battleship turned museum/ national park in Mobile.  It was AWESOME!  Now, that day, I knew we were going to a WWII museum, so I dressed for the occasion.  I had a red bandana tied in my hair, wore my Captain America t-shirt (it seemed apropriate), and I dawned a cute pin-up girl makeup look; winged eyeliner and, the ever classic, red lipstick.

After we finished exploring the ship, my friend and I decided to look at the other things the park had on display, one of the exhibits being a submarine.  I don't remember what the sub was called, but I do know it was also from WWII.

We went inside the sub, exploring all the buttons and gadgets inside.  We also marveled at how small the little living quarters were.  Near the end of the sub, I noticed my lipstick was coming off and fading.  We were standing in one of the larger living quarters, so there was a mirror right behind me.  So, I turned around and re-applied my lipstick in the mirror of a WWII submarine.  How many people can say that?!  Not many, because most people would know that doing your makeup in a submarine is pretty stupid.
