kate moss is supposedly quite fashion forward. and it would appear she also have a functioning reproductive system.

Bastards. Wonder if I can get a refund?

Come on Cod I need more. I keep Mac afloat

JeremyVile Thu 10-Apr-08 18:41:45

Oh, the testing thing?

How offensive.

What? shock Mothers not the right image? Fuck them.

Oh No!

And I specifically went to the MAC counter today (despite hideous rave music and extremely yoof counter personnel who ignored me for 5 mins until I went 'ahem') because of mn recommendations.

I'll have to apply my new eye shadow with a harrumph fuckers type attitude.

Isn't that known as shooting yourselves in the foot? Surely, given the price of their product range, they're trying to appeal to an adult buyer, so if having a baby rules you out then I guess most buyers would have to drop Mac by an average age of 27 or so. Bananas given most women will continue to buy cosmetics for the remainder of their life.

OK cod, your mission is now to find the best supplier of maternal cosmetics!

yomellamoHelly Thu 10-Apr-08 18:44:11

Surely 90% of women are or will become mothers. How stupid is that?!

lulumama Thu 10-Apr-08 18:44:16

you mean demanding of value and quality and shite like that?

JeremyVile Thu 10-Apr-08 18:45:23

I think MN should allow you to go through your (ahem) Cod Pieces and delete any recommendations that we foolishly made before we realised we were no tworthy.
