​A Letter To The Guy Who Thinks I Am 'False Advertising'

Makeup is false advertising? I didn't realize I was a product because I'm not selling myself to you.

​A Letter To The Guy Who Thinks I Am 'False Advertising'
Dani Macalino

Dear man I do not know,

Thank you for your input on my product, but I am actually not for sale. In fact, I am not a product that is being advertised, I am a human being. A human being who is currently trying to do my job. I apologize for the inconvenience and the confusion.

Actually, I do not apologize at all. In what case is it OK for a person to assume a normal human who is just trying to work is a product being advertised? And why does it matter to you that my face looked different yesterday when I sold you your ice cream? Is there a problem with your ice cream based on the color of my lips and eyelids? Either way it is made with a smile and my service is polite. So why is it necessary to comment on my so-called “false advertising?” Yes I do in fact look quite different with makeup on compared to myself without makeup. I will admit to that. I also will admit that most of my photos on the Internet are in fact with me makeup on. But sir, what you do not know is a half hour ago I was teaching swimming lessons at a beach. Because of that I did not have time to put makeup on and I do look different.

That does not give you the right to point out that I was false advertising yesterday when I did wear makeup. Yesterday I was not a product for sale with your ice cream and today I am not either, although you no longer seem to be interested. Now let's say if I was a doughnut over in the case with Oreo crumbs on top and had a label saying Oreo doughnut, but ended up being filled with jelly and dirt on top; then I would have falsely advertised. But I am in fact not covered in frosting, have a label or a price.

I have had multiple customers say, “Oh! You look different today!” This is an appropriate comment to make, because I do in fact look different. There are many different ways that you can bring up the fact that I do not have makeup on. But to say that I am falsely advertising because I look different is not OK. I am not a product to be advertised and I am not able to bought.

From,

A girl who is done with your ignorance

P.S. I personally believe that I am beautiful with or without makeup. It has taken me many years to have this belief and you saying things like this are the reason women do not believe they are beautiful without makeup.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
