Benefit has one I love when my skin is behaving.

ETA: Actually, looking at the reviews, it says that it's not good for dry skin, which may be why I like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My haircutter is good, but the last time I told her to do whatever, it was shorter than I wanted. Last time I went in, I basically got a trim, which was a Mistake. Eh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah, my hairdresser who has my One True Color (deep copper red with goldish highlights which she mixes herself), gave me bangs. Longish bangs, but bangs nonetheless. Dude, I have fine, curly hair! Do you know what this does to me on humid days, or days when I don't straighten?

I'm watching the latest episode of CSI: Miami and I want to know whose brilliant idea it was to start adding these dramatic silent pauses in between Caruso's teaser out line and the Daltrey yell. They're totally spoiling my fun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bacon salt is ideal on hard boiled eggs for a quick breakfast. Many thanks to that unnamed buffista who gave it to me.

meara, you can mix a great tinted moisturizer with a few drops of foundation into your own regular moisturizer. It's cheaper and works better than commercially prepared, and you can adjust based on how much coverage you need.

When I need a tinted moisturizer, I use a small amount of mineral foundation mixed into my moisturizer, and it is perfect.

Any thoughts on rejuvinating my Dior Show, Plei?

What's the stat for whitey?

White females no high school diploma $18,100
white females w/ high school diploma $25,100
white females w/ college degree $37,500
white females w/ grad or professional degree $40,000

White males no high school diploma $25,400
white males w/ high school diploma $34,200
white males w/ college degree $46,900
white males w/ grad or professional degree $50,100

For contrast:

Black females no high school diploma $20,200
Black females w/ high school diploma $21,500
Black females w/ college degree $36,500
black females w/ grad or professional degree $39,000

Black males no high school diploma $24,200
Black males w/ high school diploma $24,800
Black males w/ college degree $38,800
Black males w/ grad or professional degree $40,800

Hispanic females no high school diploma $16,000
Hispanic females w/ high school diploma $23,100
Hispanic females w/ college degree $36,300
Hispanic females w/ grad or professional degree $38,200

Hispanic males no high school diploma $21,700
Hispanic males w/ high school diploma $24,800
Hispanic males w/ college degree $46,400
Hispanic males w/ grad or professional degree $49,400

ita,

How uninspiring! As well as the white man's numbers, I'd like to see how a college education plays into that. I mean, if the high school graduate numbers include college grads and the difference is still only $600, why go into all that debt?

Hell, though. Even more significant in my mind, if you don't plan on going to college, and you are a black male, why bother finishing high school at all for that extra $600 when you can drop out and have two more years of work.

The difference w/ a college degree is significant (as seen above)

I can see that. The job options for being only a high school grad are going to be pretty similar to somebody who drops out. Some kind of labor or retail position.

David, yes and no. As you can see, with other groups (especially hispanic females, but also white females and males) there is a big difference between a high school grad and not.

What made me laugh is that sample sizes for Asian males without a high school diploma are too small to allow reliable reporting.
