As someone in the office said just the other day It's all about lips this season, and if you don't have colour on your lips you're not on trend. No,indeed. You'll be off trend. This means that in extreme cases, i.e. if you go out in Shoreditch, snipers could take you out. At the very least you'll be a social fashion pariah and everyone will hate you. So put on your war paint girl, the time is now. This season is laced with fear, economical and political uncertainty, don't let them smell your fear. If appearances are everything make sure yours is coloured by the likes of Mac and D&G for maximum effect. If you're in the UK there is every reason to suspect the new government will drag you home to be a housewife and have 10 children. If that is indeed the inevitable conclusion then at least go out fighting (and looking the business).
