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."

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...

How to Fix the Rape Culture

THIS POST IS COPIED IN ITS ENTIRETY FROM THE BLOG OF DR. LAURA BERMAN. The Sound of Silence: How We all Contribute to Rape Culture—and How to Fix it October 13, 2016 | Posted in: Uncategorized “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” –Desmond Tutu Let me set the scene: You are at a party, mingling with old friends and a few new faces. Everyone is enjoying their drinks and having a good time. The party is a success. 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...
