And that's the truth. And when you have millions and millions of dollars I guess you can afford all the cosmetic procedures and surgery that you want.

These days I just accept the body God gave me and, while I like to be presentable, I no longer care whether I am beautiful. But I wonder how many young men and women feel bad about themselves when they don't look like those stars who can pay millions to look so good?

/—-/ Years ago there was a website that compared the female stars before and after makeup and hair. It was shocking how plain many were.
Here’s one:

Yes I've seen those. This one really isn't fair when you show a person with an unattractive expression to use to compare to the one with makeup. There are some who are drop dead gorgeous without makeup, but even those look somewhat plain compared to them in professional makeup.

For example Sophia Vergara, actress and AGT judge, gorgeous with or without makeup.

Actually she looks better without all that makeup.........

She looks really REALLY good without makeup. And in everyday life all that professional makeup would no doubt be seen as pretentious maybe? But on camera in TV settings, I think the professional makeup looks good too or maybe we are just conditioned to accept it as normal? I don't know.

This struck me as funny because I remember the exotic designs of the pinewood derby cars when our son was in Scouts. Also I have a great nephew who is absolutely fascinated and enthralled by all things Tesla. He is still very young but I predict his future is in automotive engineering and design.

Someone came up with 'Deplorean' for the cybertruck, and it's my favorite. It's what I call them all the time now. They really do have a DeLorean look to them.

Eons ago I did Little Theater. You have to use somewhat heavy makeup as 1000 watt Klieg lights completely wash out your features

Same here. And also television lights also can do that, so the few times I had TV appearances over the years the makeup artists applied some facial accents and such to make me more 'natural' for the camera.

Ya know how a bag of salad can eventually turn brown and soggy? Cookies don't do that...........

Hombre is always not wanting to use this or that because then we won't have it anymore. He doesn't feel that way about cookies.

 

[Dajjal]

Good to see you Dajjal. It's been awhile. Hope all is well with you and your sister.

Thanks, I am fine and my sister has started taking appropriate medication. So she is ok too.

Seems like you've been here before but if so, I didn't get you on the roster so you're technically a newcomer. Be sure to read over the OP to see what we're all about in here and then keep right on joining in.

Neither does bacon - not that I would ever know. We don't let bacon sit around very long chez boe.
