link, please?!

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

Ah! I knew that Feral Feminist (?) was in there somewhere!

Bastards. Wonder if I can get a refund?

have been using mac on and off for the best part of 14 years

harumph!

so, do you have a link to this?

Beetroot · 10/04/2008 18:41

Come on Cod I need more. I keep Mac afloat

JeremyVile · 10/04/2008 18:41

Oh, the testing thing?

How offensive.

hecate · 10/04/2008 18:42

What? Mothers not the right image? Fuck them.

Slubberdegullion · 10/04/2008 18:42

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.

lulumama · 10/04/2008 18:42

heacte, i think you just proved their point

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 · 10/04/2008 18:44

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

lulumama · 10/04/2008 18:44

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

JeremyVile · 10/04/2008 18:45

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.

yes yes lordvenger wherefore art thou

janeite · 10/04/2008 18:49

Grrrr. yes, tell the Grundiad - they'd love a story like this!

pooka · 10/04/2008 18:49

How dare they!
I was going to order some make-up on the basis of recommendations here. Won't get mac now. Harrumph.
Tis a silly approach for them to have. Because while almost everyone on mumsnet is a mother, the site covers a huge range of ages, incomes, occupations. Including some (not me) fashion forwarders.
