Well, let me tell ya about this thing I saw on the TV the other day. It was about some lady, Jennifer Coolidge, and this makeup stuff called Maybelline. You know, the kind them young gals slap on their faces.
This Jennifer Coolidge, she’s a hoot! I ain’t never seen a woman quite like her. She’s got this voice, kind of like a frog caught in a drainpipe, but funny as all get out. Anyways, they had this show, “Saturday Night Live” they called it, and this Jennifer gal, or someone pretending to be her, was selling this Maybelline lipstick.
Now, I ain’t no expert on makeup. A bit of rouge for the cheeks and maybe some powder if I’m feelin’ fancy is all I need. But this lipstick, it seemed like a big deal. They were makin’ a whole fuss about it. Had different gals pretendin’ to be Jennifer Coolidge, even that Ariana Grande singer, though I ain’t sure what she’s got to do with anything. Seems like young’uns these days are always tryin’ to be someone else.
- They had this one gal, Chloe Fineman, she was real good at mimickin’ Jennifer. Made me chuckle, she did.
- Ariana Grande, well, she tried, but she ain’t Jennifer. Too much hair, if you ask me.
They kept showin’ this lipstick, makin’ it out to be some kinda magic wand or somethin’. Said it’ll make ya beautiful, make ya feel good. Well, I reckon feelin’ good comes from more than just a tube of paint for your lips, but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two.
It was all a joke, ya see. A parody, they called it. Makin’ fun of them fancy commercials where everything’s perfect and the ladies are all dolled up. And let me tell ya, it was a good joke! I laughed so hard, I almost choked on my tea.
This Maybelline company, they must be doin’ somethin’ right if folks are makin’ jokes about ‘em on TV. Guess that means they’re famous, or somethin’. Still, I can’t imagine payin’ good money for somethin’ just ’cause some actress on TV tells me to. Back in my day, we made do with what we had. If we wanted color on our lips, we’d bite ‘em! That’s a joke, mind you.
Now, they had this number flashin’ on the screen, for folks who had questions or comments. Said you could call ’em or send a message, but only if you’re in America. Well, ain’t that somethin’? Guess folks overseas don’t get to ask questions. Or maybe they got their own number to call. Who knows? It’s a complicated world these days.
Anyway, this whole Jennifer Coolidge and Maybelline thing, it got me thinkin’. About how things change, you know? Back in my day, we didn’t have all this fancy makeup and TV shows. We had dirt roads and hard work. But we were happy, in our own way. We didn’t need a lipstick to make us feel beautiful. We had sunshine and fresh air, and that was enough.
But I ain’t sayin’ one way is better than the other. Times change, and folks change with ’em. If them young gals wanna paint their faces, that’s their business. And if they wanna watch Jennifer Coolidge sell ’em lipstick, well, that’s their entertainment. Me, I’ll stick to my tea and my memories. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll sneak a peek at that “Saturday Night Live” show again, just for a good laugh.
At the end of the day, laughter’s good for the soul, whether you’re wearin’ Maybelline or not. It don’t hurt to have a bit of fun, even if you don’t understand all the fuss.
And that’s all I got to say about Jennifer Coolidge and her Maybelline lipstick. It was a hoot, and that’s the truth!
