Lauren Santo Domingo Carries Around 5 Tubes Of Lipstick, Never Blows Dry Her Own Hair (PHOTOS)

Lauren Santo Domingo took Into The Gloss into her beauty regimen. The Vogue Contributing Editor certainly lives in a different world than we do -- both physically and, apparently, hygienically -- but we were still fascinated by what she had to say.

On her lipstick:

My lipstick changes depending on who I'm meeting with and what time of day it is. It usually starts lighter in the morning and then gets darker by the evening, so I typically have five or six tubes on me throughout the day. I would probably wear red lipstick in the morning, but there's something I find so unappealing about lipstick on coffee cups, Starbucks cups--for that simple reason I start with nothing. Once I've had my coffee I'm fine. I just don't want to be walking around with my Starbucks cup with big red lips on it. Whenever I see that, I cringe...it just seems so vulgar. Nightime's a different story. Also someone taught me a really good trick, where you go like this [licks the rim of her glass and then sips] which is kind of gross--and you have to be really discreet--but it really works like a charm to keep lipstick from sticking to your glass.

On her hair:

I do a blowout once every five days, I go to De Berardinis, it's right around the corner from my apartment. They have so many people, and every single one of them is good, which is so rare. I don't really book appointments--I just call and say, 'Do you have anyone in 20 minutes?' That's about as far in advance as I can plan. It's usually when I have 100 emails to do--when I look at my phone and I see 65 emails, it's my cue for a blowout. [Laughs] I've probably blown dry my own hair three or four times...I'm just bad at it and I don't feel like learning, when there are such good hair stylists in New York.

One last remark: "I always feel really dorky with a manicure, to be honest. It feels so contrived."

Well I have to say I do like all of her pretty bottles and boxes and do-dads and things. I think I'll go flea marketing and see what I can dig up.

Who really cares how often Her Yummie Scrumptiousness changes her lipstick in a day? Red on white with green and blonde is more than ok with me. As often as she likes. YUM!

This article bothers me, and it doesn't.

On one hand, yeah, this woman sounds like a high-maintenance nightmare...but, you know, she's employing people. It's work for hairdressers, so that's good. They can pay their bills and feed their kids.

I think the thing that REALLY bothers me about this article is that she is evidence of the class divide between the wealthy and everyone else.

After the French Revolution, if a person wore satin knickers, they were vilified and called "Fancy Pants"...then they usually ended up headless at the Place de la Concorde.

If the denial of the recession (by the wealthy) continues, the American Proletariat will probably rebel against the look of the rich, and cut off all their hair, so there will be no need for "blow outs," which are totally bourgeois anyway.

Vulgar is too strong a word for lipstick on a cup, although licking a wineglass is most definitely crude. Isn't she on the cover of Vanity Fair this month? How vulgar to shamelessly promote oneself in the media. This is hardly someone who should to tell us what is proper.

I have only myself to blame for clicking on this article. I just had to see someone more insane that Scott Walker....but nope, even this self-indulgent lipstick stain-o-phobe is more sane than he is.

Wow. Just wow. How does she get through the day with a such an overinflated delusion of importance?
