In Corey's purses and in the pockets of her coats and pants, three things are constant: lip gloss (probably Burt's Bees, made in North Carolina), a disposable cigarette lighter, and a bobby-pin the color of her hair. Not the dark brown nor the black, but the hard-to-find blondish bobby pins to hold back her silky golden sheen. She had the most beautiful smile, lip gloss or not. I never saw her apply lipgloss except in winter, but I am finding it in most of her coat pockets.
