Desert Island Discussion
May. 14th, 2010 10:35 amMy sister buys a wide variety of girl-related magazines like Marie Claire, Vogue and Red; I've never really understood why (maybe it's because she's a girl), but I usually pick them up and read them too in a 'know your enemy' sort of way.
Anyway, I was browsing a recent edition of Red magazine when I came across the results of a survey they'd carried out amongst their readers and amongst the various answers ("On average, our readers own three cats and seventeen pairs of shoes") I found the claim that "For most of our readers, their desert island 'must have' is Mascara". I blinked hard several times and read it again just in case I'd got it wrong and it had actually said "For most of our readers, their desert island 'must-have' is a fishing net", but no. Mascara. Mascara.
Okay, so the cast of Lost obviously have a branch of Gap, several crates of conditioner and a bowflex machine to sustain them on their lonely island sojourn, but part of me wonders just what someone must be thinking when their answer to the question "If you were trapped on a desert island, what couldn't you do without?" is "Lippy". Perhaps they're planning on seducing Man Friday and getting him to do all the fishing, but even if that's your survival plan then some form of birth control might be more practical.
But I reckon you lot are perhaps more sensible than the readers of Red magazine so as it's Friday, and nobody works on Fridays, a question to wile away the day: What is your desert island 'must have'?
And don't say Mascara.
