Lipstick
by Jessica Pallingston

Are you passionate about your lipstick? This is the book that speaks to and satisfies your lipstick fetish. Our feelings and attachment to this object are so passionate that almost nothing comes between a woman and her lipstick. Throughout the ages lipstick has been illegal, a power symbol, a poison, a medicine, and the one cosmetic women won't go without. This book is filled with fun, fascinating, and unusual facts on the history and lore of lipstick, as well as recipes and much, much more.

Philidelphia Inquirerer
"More than many probably ever wanted to know about lipstick, from its earliest beginning in ancient cultures to the potency of modern cosmetic advertising. Along the way we get to see some pretty sexy lips.

Trouble the Cat recommends the following Books and Videos.

VHS Video set of the British television series. Based on the best-selling books, "All Creatures Great and Small" follows the true-life adventures of veterinarian James Herriot in rural England. Set in the serene beauty of the English countryside in the late 1930's, this is a time when animal medicine is as much folklore as science. With courage and humor, Herriot earns the trust of the local farmers and experiences all the joys and heartaches that go along with caring for all creatures great and small.
