Generally, I respect a celebrity’s right to lead a normal life free of fan harrassment. I’ve run into my share of famous people while going about my business, and have almost always left them alone.
Except for the time I crossed paths with Cyndi Lauper while roaming the halls of NBC-10 Philadelphia. Understanding the fact that she was most certainly very busy that day, I simply had to stop her for an autograph. There she was, adorably petite, perfect-skinned and yellow haired. I HAD to have proof that I saw her in the flesh! All I had was a post-it note, and Cyndi complied by writing her well-known “love peace” autograph on my little scrap of paper. What a thrill it was for me!
So why did I stop Cyndi? Well, beyond being an amazingly talented singer and songwriter–Cyndi Lauper was a fashion icon for women who came of age in the mid-80s. If my parents hadn’t vehemently objected, I most certainly would have sported her flame-red hairstyle made famous in her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video! Perhaps it is this deep-rooted love for Cyndi’s feminine but flaunt-it style that makes me gravitate to her Viva Glam Lipstick: Cyndi.
This deep shade is described as “light coral red” by MAC. To me, it’s appearance is more of a deep hot pink, with just a touch of coral. It’s the perfect bright-mouthed lipstick shade for Spring 2010… and don’t forget that 100% of the proceeds are donated to the MAC Aids Fund!
Retail price is $14.
