Jun. 12th, 2007 04:41 pmToday, I conducted a Social Experiment.
It was called 'do the checkout people at Sainsburys think girls wearing makeup look older that girls not wearing makeup?'
See, all the times this term I have bought wine were generally times when I could not be arsed to do the makeup thing. I wasn't going to college or anything, just nipping to buy food, no point, thought I. All those times (at least that I remember) I have been asked for ID. Fair enough. I am aware that I look like a seventeen-year-old,* and not in the good way. Today, I did the makeup thing, and lo! The guy didn't so much as pause.
Conclusion: Makeup makes you look older.
Ya. Rly.
Either that or I got a lazy cashier. One of those.
* Actual age: 20, for reference.
