After the last post featuring my housemate Colin’s nipples, I have been deluged with requests, fan mail, bribes, marriage proposals, weird fan-art, and all sorts of messages and trinkets that I was supposed to pass on to him, but didn’t.
Some of the more savoury suggestions you sent in, dear readers, included things you wanted me to do to Colin’s lucious lips. Which is why we are here today, to try out the lip tattoos given to me for Christmas by my babelicous Danish friend, Irene.
Here’s me with Irene, in Glasgow, December 2011, on our way to the Def Leppard/Motley Crue/Steel Panther gig.
So Irene gave me, amongst other fabulous gifts, some lip transfer/tattoos.
As made famous by Jessie J
They’re just like the temporary tattoos that we all played with as kids (I don’t still play with them, HAHAHAHAHAHAA). You cut the tattoo to fit the size and shape of your lips, peel off the plastic, wet the tattoo generously with cold water, press it on then carefully lift away the paper backing once the tattoo is stuck to the skin.

But I just didn’t think that was creepy enough, so I made his teeth pointy.
These pointy teeth were created with…
yes, Vegemite!
… although if you want a longer-lasting pointy tooth, get some tooth enamel. Otherwise, as soon as you stop baring your teeth and start flapping your gums as normal, you’ll end up looking like you need to see the dentist urgently.
So the lip tattoo lasted for an entire evening.
And it lasted quite well. I thought it would crack and peel but it didn’t, it just kind of faded. He got a good few hours wear.
And it wasn’t any ordinary night that the lip tattoo survived; it was Roadtrip Three Reunion night, where Chloe, Colin and I enjoyed a splendid slideshow of all the photos from the holiday we took together a year ago. She-housemate Zoe might not have enjoyed it as much as we did, but she was a bloody good sport about it, and that’s why we love her 🙂
