Hehe, you and me are old hands at hot pink lipstick, so of course we've got the angst. MAC's raking it in on hot pink now in a big way, marketing it to young girls who never dared to wear a bright lipstick before. Trust me, they act like they're discovering the New World in the Nina, Pinta and the Santa Maria. I think MAC's managed to corner the market in brand recognition for bright pink lipsticks, due to celebrities who used those crucially rare Candy Yum Yum and Pink Friday and they're using a tactic of stringing out more of them, always in limited editions and heavily associated with pop culture icons.
Come to think of it, back in the day, MAC was the one to go to for hot pink lipsticks too, so hey, it's a tradition.
For whatever reason, I'm not feeling too hot to trot about this Beth Ditto collection. My spidey sense is telling me that it's mainly going to be bringing back popular, cute colors - maybe not re-promotes, but I see hot pink lip, turquoise eye color (those dots), some vibrant pastel nail polishes, etc.
The ONE thing that's got my motor running is this mysterious reference in that tweet you posted: "We want a LOVE LONG DISTANCE to EMBRACE ME. Put on your BETH MASK, there's a NEW HUE. POINT BLACK: we want a NEAR BETH EXPERIENCE". Beth Mask - could be something along the lines of Elude!!!!! Hope so, it'd be great to have something equal to Elude that's not in such a ten-ton compact. I figured it'd be a while before we saw something like Elude, but it might be coming sooner than I'd expected, with Beth.
