To Enhance Or Not

Image
I'm talking makeup, here.  Sure, there are days when you just want to let it all hang out, but when you do decide to do a little bit of enhancement ("putting my drag on"), don't be afraid to try out different looks. Play makeup the way we did when we were wee ones. I'm sure you've noticed the magazine articles that instruct based on age, but I'm here to suggest that you look at what's what and decide for yourself what you like, and if you see a look/shade/color that doesn't make you look like you escaped from Ringling, Barnum & Bailey Circus, then go for it even though it might be listed under "Age 40."

Suddenly, one of the new guys speaks up. “Hey, I have a good joke!” he says. “Let’s hear it,” everyone agrees. “Okay,” he says. “What new skill did tight-end Aaron Hernandez learn while in prison?” You shrug. He answers, “How to be a great wide receiver!” Prison rape jokes are a dime-a-dozen in our society, as are rape jokes in general. Comedian Daniel Tosh came under fire for his rap...

Charlie Reese's Final Column

A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL Be sure to Read the Poem at the end. Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel. He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN. Be sure to read the Tax List at the end. This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering! 545 vs. 300,000,000 People - By Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you...
