At least Marge has figures out from those women's magazines
what shape face she has, Edie-
something I've never been sure of.
EDIE
So she can apply makeup to overcome flaws? If your face is oval,
they tell you to make it square. If it's square,
they tell you to make it longer. Sometimes you make it too long
and got to make it square again
which was how it looked at the start
only now you've got a square face that's too made up where before
you had a nice natural-looking square face. I don't care if I got
the cheekbones of an
isosceles triangle or the forehead of a Pithecanthropus.
I look at myself and I don't see any flaws;
that's what these consciousness-raising
self-examinations are all about.
