A guessing game

A friend of mine asks these questions often in the course of her job:

Will you be doing anything athletic?
Are you likely to perspire?
Do you need to be comfortable?
Are you going for sexy, silly, or ironic?
Oil based or water?

Guess what she does for a living.

    but for question #4, I’d have said massage therapist.
    taking #4 into account, I’ll have to go with hair stylist.
