Why this must be read:

Fig Newton is known for her team-y fics, both hilarious and soul-searching. This recent example of hers just takes the cake for the hilarity side. From Sam and Teal'c exchanging make-up tips to Daniel fluttering eyelashes to Sam stalking Jack with a powder poof, the laughter-inducing images employed by Fig Newton are guaranteed to bring eyes filled with happy-tears and a stomach sore from the laughter. My favorite idea was that even when the team encounters a matriarchal society so different from the Shauvadi from episode "Emancipation", Sam STILL has to play dress up, make-up included. That poor Sam just can't win. :) Enjoy the merriment that is Fig Newton's writing as it's sure to brighten even the most gloomiest of days.

Daniel,
not even bothering to hide his wicked grin, chimed in, "Yeah, Jack. You
don't want Teal'c to have to fight a Jaffa horde without his bronzer and
eyeshadow, do you?" 



"But... but..." Jack sputtered, waving
his hands. "Carter doesn't bring makeup off-world! How come Teal'c
does?"



Daniel snickered. "Because thousand-pound
tigers can sit wherever they want, Jack."



At that, even Sam had to laugh. She stood up and
gave Teal'c's arm an affectionate pat. "No one at the SGC would ever argue
with Teal'c's choices, sir -- or, at least, they'd never say it aloud."
She ran a judicious eye over the various tubes and blushers that Teal'c was now
removing from his pack. "Hmm. Yeah, I can work with this. Oh, I didn't
know you were trying that Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow that I recommended -- is that
Bronze Beauty?"



"It is indeed, Captain Carter. I have found
it most pleasing." 



Jack was still looking appalled. "My
scientist and my Jaffa, bonding over makeup! That is just wrong."
