Those makeup women have extremely challenging jobs, especially in an age of plunging V-necks. What do you say? "Those look...taut?" You have my sympathies.

I was doing a makeover on a woman who had her baby along with her. Mid-makeover, her baby started fussing, so she picked the baby up, and *pop!* began nursing while I was still working on her. Even though I couldn't see a thing, since her top was quite billowy and concealed both her and the baby, I was really, really uncomfortable. I felt like I was violating her somehow, even if she didn't seem to care that I was touching her while she fed her baby. Years later, after nursing two babies myself, I still think it's a bit odd for her to have been so cavalier. The breast is best, it's a natural act, the baby shouldn't be made to starve, blah blah blah... but I feel like it's an intensely private bonding time, too. I try to keep it on the DL when I have to do it outside of the house. I know fun makeover time is precious with a newborn, but I would have excused myself to the restroom. Baby needs food more than Mama needs a new lipstick. Long before I had children of my own, I had a really terrible job at a makeup counter in a department store.

They become expert ceiling inspectors. "Breast? WHAT BREAST?" It’s fascinating to watch men when some mother whips out a boob at the mall. They become expert ceiling inspectors. “Breast?
