Lipstick Indicator

-
Economists very seriously predict a recession by looking at the Lipstick Indicator. Leonard Lauder (son of Estée) discovered that in times of economic duress the sale of lipstick goes up.
The reason, supposedly, is that women need to catch a man, who will take them through the rough tides.
Plausible.
Our animal instincts are after all only skin deep.
Lip skin deep.
