Since we're confident that you are going to go to a Super Bowl party, we'll be providing more essentials (player roster, team stats, game rules) later in the week. But the priority now is to be ready as a party guest. Chico the intern set out with the MO Black AMEX card to purchase a few Super Bowl party essentials.
Face painting is a very popular activity among football fans. Typically oil-based supercoating paints are used to paint the team emblem or colors or cute slogans on the face. As you are more likely wanting a more subtle look that won't destroy your skin, the first stop was the Trish McEvoy counter at Bloomingdales. One of the key questions was whether it was the blues and greens of the Seattle Seahawks or the blacks and golds of the Pittsburgh Steelers that would be featured. As a decision either way has not yet been decided, a noncommittal "yes" was the answer. Once reminded that it is stong eye/pale lip (as strong eye/strong lip would be whorish) the resulting blue-green eye with gold glitter was certainly a step above the usual.
Here' Chico in old school face paint:
And here's Chico after his visit to Trish McEvoy.
Obviously this is a step above the usual cracking oils and uneven lines of regular face paint, and better for your skin. (Although there's something kind of hot about the old school look, right?)
With makeup chosen, you need an outfit. At this point you really need to choose a team. So, think, will it be the Seattle Seahawks halter bikini or the Pittsburgh Steelers Cheerleading outfit?
Since Chico has destroyed any chance you had at butch cred with the above, maybe you can redeem yourself with an appropriate gift for your host. We think we have something that they will treasure for years and at $49.95 it's a total bargain. 
Tomorrow, Chico explains the rules of football.
