Alien in what way?

The idea that you'd organise a makeup free day for any motivational end. It's just makeup. And you're a teenager. If you can't not wear it now, when can you not wear it?

That having been said, I can go months without wearing any, or shaving anything other than my head, so obviously not that femme.

The Jezebel article that linked to it said that it was awkward to start out with, and people questioned them on it. Seriously? It's just makeup.

But I realise there's no way my mother would have let me wear that much that regularly that young.

@@, Perkins. At the associate, of course.

The drill reached the Chilean miners!

That is awesome!

OMG, I am so full. Full of vegetables, so that's good. Kind of a warm salad of potatoes, beets, and green beans, with some feta. Roasting is still better.

Oh, but I think teenagers who Wear Makeup REALLY think they need it. They are wrong, but you know, teenagers.

Matt, I am pleased to report that the Hull statue is, in fact, fugly.

If you're curious, here's a pic of the Orr statue.

Speaking of makeup...I have worn make up to work every day for the past month. Except the day we had back to school night and the following day which was picture day.

Awesome.

My pictures are ugly. Like i have a giant shiny five-head. It's HYSTERICAL.

Your dad made that, Anne? That's awesome.

So I called the nurse hotline about my eyeball situation, and she said to go into the doctor. But thinking back, I now think they always say that! But she also suggested an antihistamine. I know Claritin is non-drowsy, but I'm not sure if it would keep me up. Hmmmm.

I should start wearing makeup to the jobsite.

Are you the lady who superglued her eye shut?

Subvert the dominant paradigm!

Does anyone have anything planned for 10/10/10?

One of my geekier nieces is getting married at approximately 10:10 am.

And from way back: Kat, the twins are winning? They always do.

I loved my San Francisco nieghborhood. I lived on Bush St. between Hyde and Larkin. It was close to good restaurants, shops and movie theatres. I only had to walk up to California to catch the Cable Car to the Financial District when I temped. There were two big groceries nearby and my laundramat was just around the corner. I loved my apartment, too.

I wore makeup every day until into my 20s, because my face didn't clear up until then. If these girls have the skin to pull it off, more power to them. But I'm not surprised that the majority of their peers don't feel comfortable without foundation, concealer, whatever.

(Oddly my skin these days is way better than a teen's. Don't know why.)
