Ladies, it is high time that we talk. You all are out there, privileged enough to travel — to experience the magnificence of Petra in Jordan, an ancient masterpiece hew deep into the mountains of the desert. You could feel the spirituality of Angor Wat, Cambodia, which has inspired so many before you. Or you could spend hours listening to the silence of a desert night with a million stars to keep you company — but all you can think about is if that cute French guy you met on your 12 hour bus-ride to get there would like you better if you were wearing mascara? You’ve gotta be kidding me!
