Lipstick Party

Our lipstick party ended at midnight
at my house on a summer night during
our Junior year.
Rear view mirrors held the smudges of our
freshly applied paints.
We had all the lipstick colors in our make up bag.
We sat in the yard in my brother's car applying makeup.
The windows were down and the music was up.
My friends and I finally went in and the laughing began.
What a party to remember!
