Many women apply makeup on BART. Two things about this BART ritual interest me:
1) These women are able to flawlessly apply eye makeup on a rickety train. I have been applying makeup for approximately seventeen years and I still have not mastered applying eyeliner in my completely still bathroom. If Puck so much as brushes past me, I need to reapply.
2) How long it takes to apply their makeup and how many makeup tools they use. My mind maxes out at eight different types of makeup to apply - and I'm pretty sure the only day I used all eight was on my wedding day. I have repeatedly seen women spend my entire 31-minute BART ride applying their makeup. There are only four body parts on your face! Admittedly, my makeup routine is lazy and short (probably abnormally so), but this still boggles my mind.
All this is my long-winded way of introducing the woman sitting in front of me on BART this morning. She had a hard suitcase that took up an entire seat (during rush hour! I think, by now, you are well-acquainted with my sentiments on inconsiderate BART passengers. I do need to give a shout-out to the woman who walked up and made her put the suitcase on her lap so she could sit down). The suitcase was open and entirely full of makeup. Four bags of makeup! My favorite article was a big, fat Sharpie marker.

| Her car keys have a Lexus key. A Lexus-driving woman who applies Sharpie marker to her face. Awesome. |
