May I please laugh along?
In which I answer three questions you were probably wondering about:
(1) Yes, flesh-colored lipstick does make you look like a dying soap opera character.
(2) Oh, I just put one roller in my hair to see if they really work -- you know, in a fit of intrepid scientific exploration -- discovered that they really, really do work, and subsequently that I didn't have time to set the rest of my hair, and pulled my single curl back with a barette to make me look somewhat less spastic. Thanks!
(3) It depends.
Did I miss any? Got any questions that need answering? I'll do my best to give you some answers.

(2) I love the image of this! It probably looks, in reverse, like when I wind all my hair into sidelock-like spiral-y things while wet so that I don't have to mess with doing any other styling to it later, but inevitably miss one hunk, which, in all its bending-the-wrong-way, frizz-ended glory, doesn't blend with its neighbors and sticks out like a sore thumb.
My questions:
1)Was your curler a hot roller or the other kind?
2)Why is it so hard to find a decent pencil sharpener?
3)Why do houses burn to the ground all the time, yet there are votive candles that refuse to acquiesce to even being lit?

(1) It was a hot roller. One of these (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000H0YBYE/nextag-hpc-20/ref=nosim), in fact. I picked up a set for super-cheap the other day -- I've been experimenting with ways to work with my hair rather than get it all cut off -- and decided for some reason that I needed to try them out this morning.
On the whole, I like the bristly non-electric rollers better, I think. Though, man, if you want curls, this set surely does deliver.
(2) So many pencil sharpeners, so few well made! If you don't want to spend the money on a vintage grinder-style classroom sharpener (the kind with the rotating part that allows for different-sized pencils are the best), I'd go hang out in architectural supply stores. There are always decent pencil sharpeners to be had there; old-school architects are very serious indeed about their pencils.
Of course, you could always hit the mechanical-pencil section of the store and avoid the question altogether.
(3) This is a mystery for the ages! Maybe we should start a business making candles from sheetrock and pressure-treated lumber.
