| What happens to a "child of the 60's" Hippie Peacenik who used to avoid makeup like the plague when she turns 50-something, and finds QVC?!? She becomes a MAKEUP JUNKIE!!! Sure, when I was close to 12, I was in love with Jean Shrimpton and other Seventeen Magazine Cover Models, and did the white eyeliner thing, and the Twiggy eyes, yes, I painted eyelashes on my skin, and my best buddy way back then, Peggy & I wore [horrors] false eyelashes, and huge huge huge earrings and moi? I had Janis Joplin "sunnies"...what a hoot -- then, nothing, nada, rien, zero, zip, NONE, nevermore (I believed)-- until the workplace. Yes, Dressing for Success required some light lipstick and eyelash mascara. ...Then, my health went to the pits, and I was not able to climb the ladder to success, no more fighting the glass ceilings, I was pretty much housebound, agoraphobic and chronic pain and doctor hunting for a DX, so who needs steenkin' makeup? But, go figure, it's now my birthday year around 50 when *splat*?!? Oy. What was I thinking? This isn't halloween [when I was Harpo or Xena and makeup was required]. This is me daily. QVC and Lisa Robertson spoke to me and told me secrets and I found a new religion -- Makeup! Before I head out, I grab my travel cases and bags-o-stuff and spread it out like it was a hoard of jewels and coins and chocolate and I look over my bounty and prepare!!!! Yes, it's ture. I now need TIME to prepare to go out. What have I become? Who is this woman, still peace-loving, who gets excited by a small QVC package in the mail? Or when I see a skin care or makeup show is on at Midnight (eastern) indicating that this night (9:00 PM my time) will be another exciting Today's Special Value!!!
Help?!? Is there some MA (Makeup Anonymous) group out there? Where should I go for help and support? Egads...I have to take the proverbial reins by the horn and start it myself, so folks, Makeup Anonymous is here, now, please RSVP and let's do it! (trade secrets? or stop buying -- I dunno -- we'll see what happens LOL).Write me today* Tell me your story. Let's get a group going, be it a BBS, or a mailing list, let's talk. I'm out of control! LOL
## *I absolutely do swear NOT to share your email addy or any info with ANYONE!
