Is Make-Up On A Six Year Old So Wrong?
The school photographer is coming today. At breakfast, Dora looked very pale - a series of nightmares means she isn't getting much sleep, and I haven't got a clue what's going on in "I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!" So I put a bit of make-up on her. Nothing draggy. It wasn't Jon-Benet Ramsay-stuff. Just a bit of BeneTint. That stuff's made out of roses, or jam or something anyway - it's not proper make-up. Just to stop her looking borderline yellow, and like we're secretly draining the marrow from her bones. Look, those photos are going to be on our mantlepiece for the next twenty years! They'll be sent to relatives in Cyprus and Greece! I can't have them think she's basically frail Colin in "The Secret Garden." I used the make-up in a responsible and parental way.
But then she asked if I could GHD her fringe. I've put that decision on a holding operation until tomorrow.
