Am I way too easily amused for my own good? survey says, “Probably.” For instance, I continue to get a substantial kick out of mucking up names. around here, Trader Joe’s is Traitor Joe’s, Target is Tar-ghay, and whole Foods is affectionately (not) referred to as whole Paycheck.
Zoppo? Sì. but also hilarious to moi.

And now I’m doing it with makeup, too. I’ve heard the peeps at a MAC counter pronounce today’s Unsung Hero, MAC Dubonnet Lipstick ($14.50), as “Doo-bow-nay,” but I like to call it “DEW-bonnet” instead.
Scusa! I can’t help it, even if I am messing with the moniker of one of the greatest reds in the MAC permanent line.
Scratch that — I think it’s one of the greatest MAC REDS OF ALL TIME! Sure, Russian Red usually gets the spotlight (hey, if it was good enough for Madge…), but Dubonnet also deserves mad love.

This warm reddish berry has a creamy finish, and I think it looks beyond terrific on gals with warm skin tones and/or yellow undertones. Doesn’t matter where you reside in the rainbow, either — pale, tan or dark — Dubonnet de-livers.
I can’t remember — have you worn Russian Red before? If you have and thought that it looked a little wonky on you (might have been due to the blue undertones), Dubonnet could be the MAC red para ti.
No worries about wear time, either. I can apply Dubonnet first thing in the morning and do Tabs’ bidding until about 3 or 4 (“OH, three or four!” remember that Looney Tunes ep?) before I even have to think about a touch-up.
How many lumps do you want?
It can be a little drying, though, so you might want to prep your lips first with your favorite lip balm.
Seriously… I know that some red lipsticks can be a little scary, but you can totally DEW-bonnet. So che puoi!

P.S. Oh, can I borrow your phone? just for a second. I just want to see if — oh, look at that! It does have a camera. That’s terrific because it means you can enter the 2011 breast cancer awareness Month sign project and Giveaway right now (haha… smoove).
